Usually when I'm hanging out with my friends, We usually go to eat at mall food courts, Denny's or In & Out. Which are all yummy but it can be boring. Ever since my friend Victor took me to a lil place down the street where I live called the "The Serving Spoon" for breakfast (which was sooo delicious omg), it expanded my mind to try new things!!! What better way to try them but this year 2015! Especially since it's only the beginning of the year. I was so excited and ready for this food adventure that I added the app called Yelp on my phone and looked at places around my area for really delicious food I never thought about trying out before. Then I saw Ethiopian Food , it was like love in first sight. It looked so different then anything I ate before and I was ready to try something new so, I looked up on YouTube Videos, pictures on Google and did my research of How to eat Ethiopian food, What should I get and Which restaurant should I go to! I found the perfect one to go to, it's affordable, great reviews, and the food looks wonderful.
So yesterday, Me and my sister Taylor and My awesome friend / blog buddy Christina went to Nyala Ethiopian Restaurant in Little Ethiopia ( the first restaurant you see on your right when you first enter Little Ethiopia)
They had parking in the back of the restaurant , so we were happy about that because it would be a struggle to find parking otherwise.
So when we walked inside the restaurant we we're very awed. It so big and beautiful. I felt like I was somewhere super fancy. There was no one in there and at first I thought it was closed but no, umm we did come around 2-3 in the afternoon on a Saturday! lol But I didn't mind that we were the only people there. This is my first experience trying Ethiopian food so I didn't want people starting at me like I'm a tourist trying to eat this yummy food properly and looking at me while I'm messing up the tradition of eating lol. ( they eat only with their right hand and no spoons/ fork/ knives)
The waitress was really nice I asked if I can take picture of her place and she didn't mind at all. :3 She welcomed us, and gave us our menus! :3
Oh by the way this is what we look like! This is Christina, my sweetest friend ever and she is hilarious and so thoughtful and just great person to be around. She is also a writer for this blog! <333
This is my sister Taylor and I (Tia) I'm the one with the green hair. The human tree! lmao but jokes asides back to our food adventures!
While we were waiting for our yummy food , she gave us some pita and hummus!!! I was so happy when she gave us that. It was like she read me and Christina's minds. We love hummus and pita bread. There is some breads missing because we digged in before I took the picture hahaha.
Within 10 mins of eating this, We got so full!!! This platter could feed 5 people I swear. It was so much left after we ate, We decided to just take it to go! :3
Overall: We all loved the place, It was very beautiful and It felt like you were at home. The service was awesome and she always checked on us to see if we need anything and she was very nice. The food was delicious and will fill you up very quick , especially since you're eating with bread instead utensils. I would definitely go back here again, I would give this place 4 stars!!!! :3
Nyala, you were awesome and delicious,we shall you again!
Dessert, Much?
We were full but We are never too full to get some dessert especially from Sprinkles Cupcake in Beverly Hills! We were "kinda close" to the area anyway so why not! We all have never tried Sprinkles cupcakes before and we were super excited. Hahaha funny short story, All our phones died and we didn't have a charger so we thought we could find it ourselves without GPS, Hahahaha NO. We basically made a a huge circle and went right back to where we started. Sooo we decided to Walgreens to get a charger for Christina's Iphone. After that adventures trials and errors , our sweet tooth were screaming for cupcakes! With the help of the new charger pumping life to Christina's phone and the app called Maps we were there within 15 mins! (Thank God for GPS, MAPS, IPHONEs, and CUPCAKES)
So we finally arrived to a destination aka Paraaa Paraaa Paradise! SPRINKLES CUPCAKES! We were definitely in Beverly Hills! Like Totally... lmao
Finally!!! We made it!!! We made it to Heaven!!! OmG! <3333
But First ...Let me take a selfie :D
As you can see, we were ready to try out these cupcakes! Super Ready like tots!
So Christina ordered a Red Velvet cupcake! <3 Looks so good!!!
I ordered the German Chocolate for myself. Taylor got the Milk Chocolate Vanilla and I bought my mom a Red Velvet! You know I gotta get that good daughter points! I love my mom even thou she gets on my damn nerves but that is a different story but people can relate hahaha. xD
I took my first bite and it was in La La Land! <3 It was that delicious! For something that $3.75 each cupcake, shiiiit it better be and it was! :D I can understand the hype now! I really do! If you loooove coconut anything ( I"M IN LOOOOVE WITH COCO lmao). This cupcake is for you boo. The icing was sweet but not too sweet and also the cupcake was not that sweet at all to be honest. It was better off that way because the icing was already doing a lot by itself.
Aaaaand then we got sugar high.. aka hyper. The funny part was that It wasn't even that sugary! But we were hyper and ready for anything! lol
I just haaaad to take a picture with the famous Sprinkles Cupcake 24/7 ATM!!! <3333 I wanna take this home with me! :3
Next door to Sprinkles cupcakes, they had Sprinkles Ice cream.... LAAAAWD! <3
We couldn't do it. We thought about it , looked at the prices, debated, and walked out. lol Maybe some other day but not today! We were already hyper and the place was get packed. It was time to go away from Beverly Hills. ;3
Overall: It's delicious! If you don't wanna spend $3.75, I completely understand but It's really yummy and Treat yo Self sometimes! If you wanna eat a cupcake then do it. It's really good for people that just want one cupcake and you don't want to mess up your diet. Because yes you can buy cupcake mix and icing at the store for $3.75 buuuut that's 36 cupcakes. One cupcakes ain't mess up yo diet , but 36 of them guuurl. That's different story. I will give this place a 4.5 stars!!!
Even though we ate a lot of food already, we decided to get some pizza! hahaha I know I know! xD Those girls can eat ;3
We went to Lil Ceasar and got a Deep Dish Half Cheese and Half Pepperoni Pizza!!! I can be full as hell but once someone says Pizza Pizza! I'm Down! <3
Oh Christina! <3 hahaha
