After hearing some feedback on our previous posts, I realized I have taken for granted having grown up in the very large Vietnamese enclave in Garden Grove and Westminster of Orange County, so I thought I’d write a short post with some info and fun facts about the magical (maggi-cal!) Maggi Seasoning Sauce as a follow-up to our previous post regarding com do.

All varieties of Maggi (even the tiny and large sizes) have the same shaped bottle.

It’s that time of year, when stores pack away the Halloween orange and black goodies and start setting out the winter holiday wares. Snowflakes, snowmen, Santa Clauses galore. What I had hoped to be a quick trip to Trader Joe’s to pick up some ginger chews turned out to be an exciting kid-in-a-candy-store feeling with all of the holiday items back on the shelves.

On our recent road trip along the California coastline, we stopped by Los Olivos in hopes of finding a place that offered olive oil tasting. The city’s name did not disappoint and a quick Yelp search led us to a quaint little shop just off the 154 called Global Gardens.

What an adorable little store!
