Haven't tried it yet.. Busy with the Chinese food side
IHS impersonation:
The art of Asian cooking is lost with the Nintendo generation. Why teach them how to cook when they can be pushed to piano/doctor/lawyer. "kitchen dude" (literal chinese translation) does not have the same rep as a Thomas Keller in the Asian household.
end IHS impersonation:
I don't cook period. Doesn't matter if it's Asian or western. The only thing I can cook well is a fluffy cheesy omelette. I do get ambitious (or drunk) once in awhile and cook something ethnic in my homeland by googling some half ass recipe and fail/disappoint mightily. Then it's off to Rowland heights or panda express for some redemption.
I think they know me there... I could probably walk behind the counter and help myself as long as I pay for it.
I only got a few donut holes for myself... it was night time after all.
Still craving Tommy's... as a side note, I read in the paper that the Hooters next to the Tommy's in Lake Forest has closed. I find it strange a Hooter's can't survive in Lake Forest.
Interesting. I never heard of a tea egg let alone seen one. These photos are the first time SoCal has seen anything like what is depicted. I've never been to these kind of restaurants and obviously didn't eat it growing up. Everything shown is all completely foreign to me.
I don't know how this one finagled TIC into letting them be 24 hour but it's one of the few businesses other than 7-11 that was. I believe some of the McDs have gone to 24 hours and then there is 24 Hour Fitness. I think some of the stores in Diamond Jamboree are 24 hour too.
They didn't have one in IHO XXXL size.

PS is definitely from the Atari/Nintendo generation. His parents did his laundry and made watercress soup for him. He has no cooking skills and he misses the home style cookings not available at Chinese restaurants. Because of his OCD he has to live in Irvine otherwise he would be a lot happier living in SGV where he does not have to rely on Panda Express for his quick fix. When he has his midnight cravings he could walk to the corner Savoys and order a bowl of thousand year old egg and geoduck porridge.

I only eat my Tommy's standing up right outside the restrooms at the corner of Beverly and Rampart. Every where else does not measured up because the other Tommys have no idea what a Sentinel special is.

Wow. Who knew they are open 24/7! I didn't realize anyone would want to buy or sell a doughnut past brunch.
OTOH, my very favorite bagel shop, East Coast Bagel off of Culver Dr. in Irvine closes early! Who knows why. You could sell a bagel sandwich all day long. I love this shop.
