    Merry Christmas!

    Published: Dec 25, 2017 · Modified: Sep 30, 2019 by Jennifer Che


    Greetings from Los Angeles and Merry Christmas!

    This Christmas holiday Bryan and I returned to the States (first time for me since moving to HK!) to visit both of our families. We stopped in Southern California first to spend time with his parents. We indulged in our favorite California treats that we can't get in Hong Kong, like In n Out Burgers, baja fish tacos, and Costco! For the first time, we did not go to Din Tai Fung in Los Angeles since there's one a 5-min walk from Bryan's workplace in Hong Kong, ha ha.

    Bryan's mom cooked us all of our favorite foods. We got to see extended family, and overall it was a wonderfully blessed time to catch up with friends and family, reflect upon our time away, and just rest.

    We head next to the East Coast to visit my family. Can't wait to visit some of my old haunts.

    Happy Holidays everyone, and have a wonderful Christmas!

    The best! Baja fish tacos. We had these at Taco Surf really close to Bryan's parents' home.
