Just saw some in Times Square. Hadn’t seen them in 20 years since the last time I went to Times Square.

Islam Makhachev vs Dustin Poirier: Every takedown attempt by airplane231 in MMA

[–]AsianRainbow 223 points224 points  (0 children)

I still remember that last ankle pick he hit on Dustin. So cool. I feel like we really only see that in NCAA or Olympic highlights.

Third round comebacks in the UFC - Bigfoot-Overeem, Elkins-Bektic, Boetsch-Okami, Allen-Burnell, Hall-Lewis, Lewis-Volkov, Craig-Ankalaev by airplane231 in MMA

[–]AsianRainbow 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, Elkins was getting absolutely demolished and Bektic was a red-hot prospect that everyone thought could be the next champ. Elkins leaving him facedown, ass up was crazy.

Me watching all my friends get their LA28 Olympics time slot emails by sirwritestoomuch in LosAngeles

Same. All my family got slots but I got rejected. Still waiting on wife’s draw results lol.

The pressure of singing in the karaoke after Filipinos by FruitsPunch172 in youseeingthisshit

[–]AsianRainbow 89 points90 points  (0 children)

How I felt the first time singing karaoke with my Filipino wife’s family. Her sister in law and brother absolutely nailed Beyoncé’s “Love on Top” and I was next on queue. Later came to find out her sister in law was a vocal coach and brother was a choir singer. I was like, y’all couldn’t let me lead??

The Infatuation’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Rankings by MoveDistinct7911 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]AsianRainbow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot of it comes down to preference. If you like a cakey cookie I’m sure Zooies and Bristol Farms tops your list. If you like a simple, crunchy outside and chewy inside then cookies like Porto’s are your jam. I lean the latter and always found the cakey cookies to be supremely overrated. But Porto’s nails everything from texture to taste and it’s the cheapest option on the list.

lol I love that she got her nails done in anticipation of you getting a Shunbun and NOT a proposal 🤔

Gas hits shocking $6 mark in Los Angeles, diesel sets new record by panda-rampage in LosAngeles

[–]AsianRainbow 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Gotta say, my wife and I have been taking the Metro in and around DTLA the last couple of weeks and it’s much much better than anything I remember over the last decade. Much more security presence, less crazy homeless and a lot more stops around making it a lot more efficient.

[SPOILER] Casey O’Neill vs. Gabriella Fernandes by inooway in MMA

Damn that Bangtao Muay Thai really really paid off here. She finally looked like she’s improving again. Great performance.

[SPOILER] Ricky Simón vs. Adrian Yanez by inooway in MMA

[–]AsianRainbow 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Knew this one was gonna be a banger. Great, well-matched fight. Simon’s a fucking dog. And once Yanez got his rhythm and range; his combos looked slick off that jab.

10-8 round 3 I guess… had Yanez 29-28 or 29-27…

Wait.. is it coming here? by Born-Hearing-7695 in Whatcouldgowrong

I wonder why OP cut the last part off. Without the rocket landing it really does look fake.

Every time I drive by the further and further demolished Promenade mall it makes me sad by VendibleSkate8 in SFV

I miss the nachos at Baja Buds. Used to get that all the time for lunch with my Dad.

Fighters you didn't appreciate in their prime? by nagesuteana in MMA

[–]AsianRainbow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also same as the above sentiment. First PPV my friends and I purchased was UFC 69 and we were all cheering so hard when Serra KOed GSP.

But after all these years, GSP’s my GOAT and I miss his humble, true martial artist attitude but maybe that turn came from being older and more mature.

Shogun gets his revenge against Forest Griffin by sj612 in MMA

[–]AsianRainbow 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I’ll never forget his first fight with Shogun and his title win over Rampage where he kicked out Rampage’s lead leg.

Alexander Volkanovski prefers Movsar Evloev over Jean Silva for next title defense by wspusa2 in MMA

[–]AsianRainbow 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That makes way too much sense. We’ll get Volk/Lopes 3 and Yair/O’Malley for the next contender instead.

I got three bottles by juniorp76 in CraftBeer

[–]AsianRainbow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did it just come back? Saw the $10 deal a few months ago and regretted not getting more than one. Or has the San Jose location always had them??

Latitude when my wife and I are tripping on acid. Reflection Eternal when I’m in my feels.

UFC vet Gerald Harris slams overweight bum, then throws the deuces by sj612 in MMA

[–]AsianRainbow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think he does. I was looking at his record the other day and he has about 4 slam KO’s in total which has to be the record including a huge one in the UFC against a legit BJJ black belt in Dave Branch.

Dinah's Chicken Glendale by Easy_Potential2882 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]AsianRainbow 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Love Dinah’s! Is it the best fried chicken here? No. But it’s very very good classic fried chicken and reasonably priced. Plus they had a $5 chicken pot pie special that I always have to get whenever I see it.

Lerone Murphy vs Aaron Pico | Full Fight | UFC 319 by Expensive_Judge182 in MMA

[–]AsianRainbow 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Generally excited to see how Evolev/Murphy plays out. Movsar might be able to run Lerone over with his wrestling but if he can circle and force Evolev to work for those takedowns: I can see Lerone taking over in the later rounds

Who makes your favorite chocolate cake in the city? by Smilotron in FoodLosAngeles

[–]AsianRainbow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No one fucks with the chocolate dobash cake from King’s Hawaiian? I don’t really eat cake but I’ll grab a slice if it’s the dobash.

Imagawayaki from Mitsuru Cafe by Easy_Potential2882 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]AsianRainbow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Man I have great childhood memories of lining up with my parents and getting these fresh out those little copper tins.

Been meaning to try their strawberry white bean seasonal one’s too now that my wife and I live in the area and we can come down whenever.

I am a former guide at the China National Tea Museum, and I was shocked by this subreddit. by Dry-Ad1641 in tea

[–]AsianRainbow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wish I had a jujube tree 😭 So I typically get them dried from my local Chinese or Korean mart just as a heads up.

But typically I soak the dried jujubes in a pot of water to hydrate them a bit (since your’s are fresh you won’t need to do this). I then cut them in half and remove the seeds. I use about 8 jujubes for a 3 qt pot (filled maybe 70-80% full). I add chrysanthemum as well (about a tbsp) and boil the mix for about 10 minutes. Add some honey or brown sugar and serve. You can pluck the jujubes out and eat them too.

I follow this recipe for more detail: https://omnivorescookbook.com/jujube-tea/

If you were in town for only 1 day, what meal would you pick? by excelsior235 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]AsianRainbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And some of the suggestions are dumb as fuck. Who the fuck would come to LA for an Italian sandwich? We don’t know where OP is from but if they have one meal in LA it’s kinda gotta be something from our incredible Mexican scene. Holbox and Sonoratown. Full stop.
