Salt draws moisture to the surface and forms a layer that slows the penetration of microwaves and increases the required cooking time. It can also make meat and vegetables tough and less juicy. Salt immediately after cooking instead. source

I don’t think I’ve ever been there before. It’s awesome. 12:30 AM at night, and it’s really, really crowded with students. Most of them look like they’re in high school. The food is simply awesome. Reasonably priced, too. An amazing place that is just too small. But they’re open late, a great night hangout. It’s really asian. White people like it too, though :)

I had Sweet & Sour Popcorn Chicken. As a group, we had one of those gigantic shaved ice things which has tons of delicious fruit, including strawberries, mango, bannanas, and maybe more. Also, sweetened condensed milk. Plus, we got two Brick Toasts, butter coconut or something like that. The place is decorated like crazy, too. It’s just a 20 minute drive (or less) from USC, and we saw the VKC tower way off in the distance off the freeway.

Interested in Guppy Tea House hours? According to this, “hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.”
