2628 Pleasant Hill Rd Ste 100 Duluth, GA 30096 Open Everyday from about 11am – 10pm Being Asian (Lao), we really don’t crave sweet stuff after every meal (besides fresh fruit) but it’s nice every now and then to find baked goods that won’t land you in a sugar coma. 🙂 The ample slice of […]
1658 Lavista Rd NE Atlanta, GA 30329 Open everyday except Saturday! On the corner of Briarcliff and LaVista is Pita Palace, a great place for Israeli/Middle Eastern food. I really like the softness of the pita bread, and the spice level of the spread. You can definitely taste the minced jalapenos. So if you just […]
3492 Satellite Blvd Duluth, GA 30096 Open everyday from 8am onward! I like this place because it’s wide open seating without all the hustle and bustle and craziness of Sweet Hut. However the shelves are often bare though. Visiting in the evening there isn’t as much variety or quantity in the baked goods like Mozart […]
STATUS: No Longer $.50 cents!! 🙁 Plaza Fiesta Food Court 4166 Buford Hwy NE Atlanta, GA 30345 Puras Tortas is in the food court! Get some tacos and play some classic games in the arcade! 🙂 Doing anything Wednesday? Because there’s a place that has $.50 tacos every Wednesday/Miercoles!! The tacos are a bit smaller […]
3360 Satellite Blvd #8 Duluth, GA 30096 Open everyday from 11am – 12am
851 Oak Rd SW #89Lawrenceville, GA 30044 One of my favorite places for “home cooking” Thai food. There is something to be said about comfort food from all cultures–nothing fancy in the presentation, the point is to eat and be happy. 🙂
15 E Main St NE Buford, GA 30518
4305 State Bridge Rd #108 Alpharetta, GA 30022 I like this buffet. Pretty spicy and they have a lot of items. Unlike my Naan and Curry, they have your staple salad with the tamarind sauce.
STATUS: CLOSED 2605 Pleasant Hill Rd #400 Duluth, GA 30096 I really like this place. The meat tastes different than Gop Chang on Fire, but the sides are what makes this one stand out. The other advantage is that there’s never really a long wait.
Hello everyone. This year (and life) has really flown by. Cleaning up all my website stuff and thought I would migrate all the posts from my dusty food blog over here on my main site. STATUS: CLOSED 706 Grayson Hwy # 202 Lawrenceville, GA 30046

Georgia Tech Vietnamese Student Association Annual Charity Dinner 2019Happy Valley | Norcross, GA | 04-06-2019 Great job by all the students and volunteers for raising money for schools in Vietnam.

Here are some portraits with the Canon EOS RP in different situations. Right now, it’s not an A camera for me. It’s more of a third option. For video it’s really nice though. Again, I don’t have any native RF glass yet, I have to use the older EF lenses via the adapter. While many […]
Here are my quick thoughts on the new Canon EOS RP. At the moment I don’t have any native RF lenses, I’m just using my various EF lenses with the free adapter. Thus far the image quality is pretty much like every other Canon I’ve had or used in the past 10+ years. I personally […]

Congrats to all the winners and participants in the 2019 Miss Vietnam Georgia Pageant!
One of my next personal photo books will probably be my old portraits shot on film. I’ve posted before about taking a picture of a negative with a DSLR and a macro lens, but thought I’d revisit it with some more “ancient” tech, a Nikon D50. This 14+ year old DSLR doesn’t have much value […]
For some shoots and wanderings this past Autumn season I did remember to bring my ISCO anamorphic lens combo. Still so complicated to use, but the field of view of the resulting images looks really nice on my 21:9 monitor. There’s a lot of skewing that I have to fix manually in post since the […]
I don’t think I’ve posted my thoughts on the Panasonic 7-14mm f/4. I’ve had it for a few years now, and use it for super wide angle shots of interiors of the events/weddings I cover. It has an angle of view similar to the 14-24mm’s of the bigger cameras, but it definitely doesn’t “draw” like […]
The last Imaging USA Expo that I attended was in 2013(!). Technology has really changed since then: 3 axis gimbals hadn’t even hit the market yet, and Sony was still a relatively minor player in the world of still cameras. My how things have changed! I went hoping that Nikon had a booth so I […]
My thoughts on the affordable 12×12 inch lay flat photo books that you can create/order through Costco! Best part is that they are actually printed at Fufjifilm USA!
