Instead of posting individual threads, I'll just post where we went this weekend with Yelp links:

Saturday:

Lunch at Jollibee's in Anaheim:
http://www.yelp.com/biz/jollibee-anaheim

First time to this location, had the fried chicken, spaghetti and fiesta noodles.

(from yelp)

It's basically a Filipino fast food place, the difference in Filipino spaghetti is that it is sweet and usually has hot dog (or vienna sausage) slices in it.

Dinner at Boiling Crab, Costa Mesa:

Posted a thread about this on our first visit there:
http://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,2899.0.html

Hadn't been back since because the wife hasn't been wanting it. This last visit definitely has her over it. The food is good, but just not something she wants to spend the money on.

Sunday:

We went south county style... Sonic Drive-In in Mission Viejo:
http://www.yelp.com/biz/sonic-drive-in-mission-viejo

Why? The kids wanted hash browns and we had missed all the usual breakfast places so tater tots at Sonic's would do (and they wanted Slushies). Kid's meals are cheap here... like $3 or something like that. Typical fast food... although chili cheese tater tots is something different.

The other reason we went here is because the Mrs. likes this mexican place right down the street:

Los Golondrinas
http://www.yelp.com/biz/las-golondrinas-mexican-food-mission-viejo-2

Typical mexican food place, only 3 stars on Yelp but it's pretty good. Tried the chicken enchilada suezas, fish taco and Big Dave burrito.

We ate the mexican food at Sonic while the kids were munching on Sonic.

For dinner we went pretty far, Joe's Sushi in La Habra:
http://www.yelp.com/biz/joes-sushi-la-habra-2

I don't eat sushi, but this place has a decent all you can eat sushi option ($15 lunch, $22 dinner?) where you mark off what you want and they bring it to your table. I had regular Japanese food and the kids had something new (usually they get Chicken Katsu but they were out so they tried Chicken Teriyaki and Sesame Chicken).

Only 3 stars on Yelp and we will probably not go back... but went with some friends so it was fun. Old school restaurant, they had the old tube TVs, could barely see the score for the Lakers/Sac game.

So yeah... the IHO family eats out a lot on weekends.
 
OMG. You go out to eat twice in the same day?!  :o I'm 34 years old and have never in my life eaten out twice in the same day! I once had lunch with a friend at a restaurant. She said she had to hurry to be on time to eat dinner with friends at another restaurant.  :-\ I looked at her like she had two heads. I had never even heard of people doing this. From reading your post, I see that there must be at least one other person who does. However, on Sunday, for the first time ever - I went out to lunch followed by frozen yogurt at Cherry On Top later that evening. Can't say I'd do it again. It felt so wrong / strange.

So, has anyone here ever eaten out 3x in a single day?!!  :-\
 
I forgot to add that after Sonic we went to Sno 2 Go across the street:

(yelp again)

Very good shaved ice place with a drive-thru window. Someone told me about it and it just worked out we were able to go. This area of Mission Viejo is actually building out very nice... new townhomes from Lennar, a Super Target, a Sonic and shaved ice... what a combo.
 
I'm worried about you, Iho.  :( I remember reading you already eat out a lot during the week, too. Take care of yourself, friend.
 
Hehe... personally... what I ate... some rice and half a piece of fried chicken, no boiling crab at dinner (not a seafood person) but I did have some chicken wings, on Sunday... half a burrito (yes... the wife ate the enchiladas and a fish taco), the chili cheese tots, some of the wife's shaved ice (wasn't really in the mood) and then salad and chicken and rice at the Japanese place.

Not a lot of food... not the healthiest food... but I was able to play ball this weekend too.

If you consider food + yogurt / coffee / dessert at a different place wrong, I have done the wrong thing many times :) But no, haven't run off from lunch to dinner.. one lunch to another lunch? Oh yes, but haven't eaten a three course at both places ;-)

I think I've eaten at 3 different buffets in a day at Vegas before.

Speaking of Jollibee, I usually eat chicken joy with rice and gravy at Jollibee in Cerritos.  Jollibee, along with the affiliated Chow King and Red Ribbon expanded across California in recent decades, but several locations have closed since.  Compared to PH, most Jolibee here doesn't do nearly as well.  I was once asked to invest in opening a Jolibee in a coastal town in Mauban (Quezon) with my goddaughter's family, but the cost of the franchise fee was outrageous.


 
Iho, I'm looking at Jollibee's website. Can you explain to your white friend what "Milkfish Belly" is?? How is it different from bangus? I don't know what that is either. I actually did Google it before asking however I still don't really understand. I take it the belly is just a different cut. I don't know what "Langka" is (nothing Googleable comes up) (never mind, I spelled it wrong. Still never heard of a "jackfruit" in English either) but their banana pie looks good.

Is this location new? Their website does not show an Anaheim location. Closest would be Chino, it says. I must find the closest Jollibee ASAP. Darn you.
 
The Anaheim location is new... probably last year... first time I went there.

I think they made their dish names more "American" friendly.

I stuck out when I was there... big Austrian looked out of place.
 
we went to fuddruckers in lake forest. had the kobe burger, a basket of fries covered in jalapeno cheddar cheese sauce and A1 - it was like being in heaven.
