Embark on a culinary journey through Vietnam with must-try dishes at CreAsian Wok n' Roll, where every bite is a celebration of authentic taste.

Carmina's dad was craving for Vietnamese and wanted to bring his family have a meal. We are in the area of Brentwood, my dad remembered he used to dine in at  CreAsian Wok 'n Roll . Upon entering there we're a lot of customers and the person asked how many we are seated at the table. The server handed us a menu asked us what we would like to drink. They brought out pitcher of iced water with glasses for us to pour our own water. My dad ordered a grilled lemongrass chicken combo with egg, shrimp, and an egg roll . Family member ordered basil leaf with chicken and garlic rice . Another family member had ordered a large Creation Special soup to share with everyone. Carmina wanted the banh mi sandwiches but unfortunately it wasn't available had to pick something else to eat. I decided to try the string beans with shrimp and included is the plain white rice. Service is fast and food is served at your table. Those who cannot finish their food they will provide take out c...

Learn to Let Go


In our life we come across items we need to learn to let go or else we fill up our home with too many clutter and soon it will overlap to take over a mess to uncover in the years to come.

Ever since I began living in the Philippines and living with so many people who work for us you learn the value of items you have in your home what items they don't have because one thing they would prefer to supplement their family first before buying unnecessary items.

Every year I would clean out my clutter and decide what I no longer need or items I can let go to give to those who can use it for a better use.

Sometimes we hold on our belongings with sentimental value what happens if you're no longer with that certain person or items your parents gave you when you're young.

Learn to let go on items you no longer need seat down and list all your items down check your list and how many items you can give away or sell to someone who can use it more than you.

You will realize later how much clutter you have accumulated through the years of shopping or gifts given to you that you never even bother to use.

Every year when I have the chance to visit California my family and friends will always set aside items I can shipped out to the Philippines from any hand me downs to brand new items is what I get from them free instead of giving to someone else when my families and friends found what I do with the items by giving not only one employee for us. I am also giving each family member of the employee for example if the husband is our employer he is married and has five children. 

To me I believe Christmas only comes once a year and to each person deserve a gift from me no matter how old you are you will receive a gift coming from Carmina.

The first Christmas party I had attended in the Philippines I felt bad for the families that attended a Christmas Party for their parents who was working.

Seeing other people not able to open gifts and seeing someone else receiving a gift to me I felt sad for them or the feeling being out of place.

I began to change the tradition I started giving everyone a Christmas gifts and what do I get from them the thought you know you have done a good deed the advantages is that when you ask a favor they will do it by driving you around or to do errands for you.

In return when they are on vacation leave they give me a token from their province within the Philippines.

No matter what money has no value when you don't share it with other people who cannot afford items you have or cannot eat what you can afford?

I believe I am who I am and someone who is different from everyone else.
