Zilin: Old Town

Hey everyone! :D 

So today, i've got a short post about a really underrated AND delicious restaurant in Old Town, Pasadena. (LA)

!: all the photos are actually taken on my phone because I didn't bring my camera to dinner. Sorry guys D: 

Zilin is this small place in Old Town that is TOO underrated. 

They serve asian-fusion style food, with american twists to traditional asian dishes.

I went with my friends, including blogger Bittersweet Present. Check out her blog too :)

We had starters family style, and then ordered our own entrées.  

1.) Oxtail Chili Cheese Fries 

Delicious twist between mexican and chinese flavors. 

Gooey cheese melted all over, with spoonfuls of chili to top it off. 

Tender pieces of oxtail are under the fries.

Delicious fresh cut potato fries.

I especially like how there isn't alot of oil, and it's nice and big to share. 

Delicious starter; a favorite from all of us. 

We finished this entire dish between the four of us, of course. :) 

Rate: 9/10

2.) Ginger Noodles 

What can I say?

Delicious noodles with ginger sauce drizzle, and soft slices of pork. 

An egg cooked easy, placed ceremoniously on top. XD

Although I am no fan of ginger tastes myself, this dish was quite delicious.

The herbal taste wasn't too strong, and the sauces and meat really complimented the ginger.

Rate: 7/10

3.) Bulgogi Burger

So if you don't know what bulgogi is, its korean-spiced meat. 

The burger was made up of the bulgogi patty, bulgogi sauce, some type of slaw, and bell peppers. 

It came with a side of fries. 

I personally think the burger was a bit much, but that is merely my opinion.

It taste quite good, and the fries were delicious, but the burger is quite large and it is difficult to bite into it, and if you cut it it falls apart. Also, I think the sauce and the bell peppers gave the burger a bit too much of a sweet taste. Although some may like this, I'm a fan of savory myself. 

But I did enjoy it overall. I'm not too picky when it comes to my burgers. 

Rate 7.5/10

So this is quite a quick post, so please bear with me D:

Started school and the homework load is pouring in~ 

More blog posts in the future, and i'll try to keep the iPhone camera use to a minimum ^^"

I'm headed to Santa Monica soon with The Bittersweet Present and her sister. 

Maybe we'll both blog about it? :) 

 ❤ I hope you all have a great day~  ❤
