Restaurant: Hanuman Thai Eatery Address: 355 Bristol St. Ste U Costa Mesa, CA 92626 This is Thai food unlike anywhere you've had it before. Modernized with a bit of fusion but still pays respect to all the authentic flavors! Found this place on TikTok and it was definitely worth the visit! #foodie #urbanexplorer #fallingforfall #tripblazers #thaifood #thaicuisine

Coming to Newport Beach in OC, it has a history of more than 100 years and is considered a very historic beach in the United States🏖 Here you can sit in the car to take the ferry, which is a very special experience. This area is a relatively quiet town with few tourists, maintaining a simple style🛳 The restaurant here also preserves the American style of the 1960s. Walk along the small shops on the beach and experience the feeling of the early American beach. The gray sky and slight waves make the town more quiet. It is a very special attraction. #beaches #familytravel

…A very new experience sailing in the Pacific Ocean to see dolphins up close (and if you’re lucky, you might even see whales)… “But we didn’t see any that day” 5555’ We also saw seals. #newport #la #california 🇺🇸

Founded in 1948, this restaurant is loved by people of all ages! The restaurant was packed with locals and tourists alike, and there was a line at the drive-thru. There were three set meals available! The basic menu items were the "Hamburger," "Cheeseburger," and "Double-Double (two patties)." They came with fries and a drink. You could choose whether you wanted raw or grilled onions in your burger. The crispy underside of the bun, the tartness of the pickles, the sauce, and the fresh onions all mixed together, made for a delicious meal! The texture of the fries was something I'd never experienced before, and they reminded me of Japanese Jaga Pokkuru. I'd definitely like to visit again if I visit LA again!

From LAX airport to Orange Outlet by Uber! Our cost was $56.9✨ *You need to take a bus from the airport to a place like an Uber bus stop! It was pretty empty and not that big, so it was perfect for killing time before checking into the hotel! However, the yen is still weak, so American brands weren't that cheap... For lunch, we had hamburgers at an American chain restaurant inside the outlet! They were showing baseball and soccer games in the restaurant, so they were also showing the Angels' game⚾️ The staff were kind and there was no problem paying by card😊 There was a bus stop nearby, so it was easy to get around from there! (American buses are not very safe, so it might be best not to take them late at night)

Hanuman Thai Eatery ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you love thai food or asian fusion, this place is a must visit. It has two locations in Orange County - Costa mesa and Newport. 1. Khao Soi The food on the first picture is Khao Soi, which is creamy curry noodle with chicken drumsticks and crispy noodle topping. It tastes amazing and everything tastes well together. The portion was larger than expected which was very satisfying. 2. Massaman curry with hanger steak The second food is Massaman curry and you can choose different protein option for this. We chose hanger steak which was fantastic and I recommend this if you aren’t sure what to choose! Overall, the food here is absolutely amazing and I was very satisfied to experience the food here. I will definitely recommend this place and would visit again myself too to try other foods on the menu! #foodie #mytripvlog #awesomepic #orangecounty #newport #asiancuisine #asianfood #asianfusion #thai #thaifood
