Amazing Alaska on Golden Princess

July 12, 2012 By Lokness 2 Comments

I am back home. No place is more comfortable than home. After coming back home last week, I was a little sick. With a few days of fully rest, I am feeling good now.

In the past three weeks, I was traveling with my family. We went to so many places. It was pretty crazy. We went on a cruise to Alaska. We visited Seattle. Then, we went on a tour on the East Coast. We were at New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Washington D.C, Niagara Falls, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, and Boston. I was exhausted by the end of the trip, but I have seen many amazing things. The most important was that I have spent a lot of time with my family. It was a memorable trip.

For now, let me first share a few things about Alaska. It is always relaxing to be on a cruise. Other than sight-seeing, eating and napping are the priority. Golden Princess had some good food, but not everything was wonderful. The best part had to be the soft-serve ice-cream. One is never enough for a day. Bryan and my sister were eating french fries all the time. Haha… I know what you are thinking. French fries? A good bowl of hot and crispy french fries were perfect on a cold windy day.

Back to Alaska, it is a truly beautiful state. One thing that I like was the early sunrise and late sunset. Even it was 9pm, we still got to enjoy the sunshine and beautiful ocean views. The glacier, tall trees, whales, and bald eagles are unforgettable. For a city girl, that was something that I can never imagine. It was a lifetime experience. I couldn’t wait to go back for a second time.

    […] While we were walking around, we heard calls of eagles. We then saw a pair of Bald Eagles sitting on the top of a tree very far away. If you know me, you know I love birds. So, I was very excited to be able to see them again (first time in Alaska). […]

The Best Apple Crumble. The ultimate comforting de The Best Apple Crumble. The ultimate comforting dessert for the holidays. Tender apples, warm cinnamon, and a buttery crumble topping. Served with creamy ice cream, of course! I made this for my parents when they were in town. Since my mom isn’t a fan of cinnamon, I baked one without it, and honestly? Still absolutely delicious. With or without cinnamon, this crumble is a winner!

Apple Syrup. We went apple picking w/ my parents w Apple Syrup. We went apple picking w/ my parents while they were in town, and drinking fresh apple cider inspired me to make this syrup. It’s sweet, a little tart, mildly spiced, & bursting with concentrated apple flavor. Perfect for coffee, tea, cocktails, or mocktails! Even just w/ sparkling water for a crisp, refreshing apple soda. So simple, yet so good! 🍎

Fall is here! 🍂 I’m hoping to go apple picking soo Fall is here! 🍂 I’m hoping to go apple picking soon, but before that, let’s bake this Fresh Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. It’s moist, perfectly sweet (but not too much!), & packed w/ fresh apples. Honestly, it doesn’t get more fall than this rustic, cozy dessert! 

Btw, still obsessed with KPop Demon Hunters! It was so touching seeing the interview & performance of Huntr/x on Jimmy Fallon.💜

Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F (29˚C), but I’m already leaning into fall vibes. This soup starts with roasted kabocha squash & thyme, blended w/ onion, garlic, & chicken broth until silky smooth. Topped w/ crispy pancetta, a drizzle of cream, & fresh thyme. It’s layered w/ sweetness, umami, & creaminess. I’ve loved every sip, and I know I’ll be making it again (and again!) once the weather finally cools down. 🎃🍂

Next-level beef bowl!🥩🍚 Red Rock is now opened at Next-level beef bowl!🥩🍚 Red Rock is now opened at The Shops at Santa Anita. It’s a cozy spot w/ only about 14 bar seats, but we’re thrilled they’re now on this side of town. This Japanese restaurant first opened in Torrance in 2017, & we’ve made the trek there a few times. Now? Way more convenient! 

Their claim to fame is the sliced beef don. A rice bowl piled high with tender roasted beef, drizzled w/ sweet soy sauce & creamy yogurt sauce, then crowned with a rich raw egg yolk. In my opinion, the yolk is non-negotiable. It adds extra flavors.

While you’re there, don’t skip the croquette. Perfectly crispy on the outside, with a creamy, savory mashed potato center. Absolute comfort food.

Next time, I’m determined to try their omurice or curry… if I can resist ordering that beef bowl again.😅
