Elite UYE at The 2nd Happiest Place on Earth

Haha, who let me in? I felt so lucky to be in this crowd!
50 Unilocalers, packing it in on the outside deck of Fire and Ice in Anaheim, just eating and drinking and taking 5 bajillion pictures. The best thing about this event is that everyone talked to everyone even though, contrary to popular belief, we didn’t all know each other. I went in knowing probably about 15 of the 50 people and left knowing another 10 – 15 more.
Big thanks to the girls for putting this together and for uniting Unilocalers for food and fun. Thanks also to Fire and Ice for fitting us all in on a Friday.
Okay, which of you two girls hijacked my phone and started taking selfies? Y’all are on my hit list! Rhythm is a dancer, but revenge is rollerblader. If you’re on the sidewalk, watch out!

Thanks to fabulous Maila got invite to this big UYE Gathering.
I drive a long distance for this and was well worth it. I get to meet many new faces as well some familiar one. It seem everyone is having good time here and is what it matter the most.
I meet handful of new Unilocaler as well few old faces. I think is worth my time driving almost a hour getting here at Friday. It was a big group with over 20 Unilocalers. All walks of live and very diversity. Just like what Socal is this day. is a big melting pot.
I have numerous UYE, and would love them to come to mine next time. AKA Dim Sum King for a reason.

I’ve never been here before and was happy to try Fire + Ice while attending a UYE that Maila had thrown. Happy Birthday Huy! All I had was beer so I can’t really comment on the food other than to say it looked good. The Modelo’s were nice and cold! :) Kenny G. was cracking me up all night, and John T. was kind enough to share some of his chips and hummus. Our server did a GREAT job at handling our 50+ party of guests and the many requests we had. Happy hour ALL DAY on Friday here!

Happy Birthday, Huy! Happy Birthday, Chris!
Because she always wants to party and celebrate with great friends. Just like Who Sang and Larry’s, full celebrations with lots of Unilocalers.
Nice to see all the familiar faces and meet new ones.
Who needs Mickey Mouse when you got her.
Good times.

I was invited last minute to Maila H’s epic UYE at the 2^nd Happiest Place on Earth. Thanks, Richard M! The UYE was at Fire + Ice at the Anaheim Gardenwalk. We were told it was for a birthday. Happy Birthday to Huy T. who I didn’t meet until that evening. It was great to see old Unilocal friends and meet new ones. I can’t believe I’ve never met Kenny G. before! Awesome crowd. Thanks to Maila H. for hosting!
Fire + Ice had a gigantic table set up for us on the patio where we were told that Happy Hour prices would be in effect all night. I promptly ordered a sangria and decided to do the grill. This isn’t your typical Mongolian BBQ place since they offer Italian, Latin, and Asian flavors but everything is still cooked on a Mongolian flattop grill. I opted to do the traditional Asian style noodles with vegetables ranging from bamboo, bok choy, carrots to spinach and the Asian style sauces. There were a variety of meats to choose from but I opted for shaved sirloin. They also had a kickin’ salad bar. We also had some shots of tequila purchased by our hostess with the most-​est. A great time was had by all. We topped off the night by going to Disneyland since we weren’t ready for it to be over. Or maybe it was just to get sober enough to drive home. Yeah, that’s it. Cheers!

When Maila H invites you to a shindig, say yes. End of review. j/​k.
Props to Maila for organizing another massive uye. I don’t think there’s a Unilocaler the social butterfly doesn’t know. There must have been 40+ Unilocalers dining at Fire and Ice. Maila is a great host, and she brings people together through food (what better way, right?).
It was a pleasure to chat with new pals, Robby and Stacy, Annee and Derek, Craig Y, John T, Ryan P, and many others (too many to name!). Glad to see you Q, Uyen, Cocolyn, Ed, Dana, Mel, Kenny, and of course my peeps, bday boy Huy and Olin. Sorry we missed each other Sofia V! That’s how many people Maila knows; there were so many of us that Sofia and I didn’t even know about each other being there so we could meet!
Happy birthday to Huy T and Christopher H (sorry you couldn’t make it).
The staff at Fire and Ice handled our party well. We must’ve been about 40 Unilocalers, and they were accommodating. My drink refills were brought without delay. When Olin arrived we revealed our true intent: surprise bday for Huy!
Check out this one minute video recap of the night!
You can also check out my regular review for the restaurant if you would like to know details on the grub!
Thanks to Maila, Fire and Ice, and all the Unilocalers! Good times!

Where do I begin? Feels so surreal to think it was just yesterday! When there is a next party, drop everything and run to rsvp.
What do you get 50 Unilocalers with fire and ice? An unbelievable adventure of laughter and fun only the attendees can grasp from excitement. Our wonderful and gorgeous Maila gathered us for a night to remember. Thank you again superstar≠)
The are two choices to satisfy our fire:
1)ayce Mongolian style, soup, salad and burgers
2)small bites and appetizers
Ice Ice baby!
Happy hour all day (separate menu)
Lots of drink choices as well
Happy b day Huy! Omg haven’t met someone with my brothers name before lol. Super chill guy too.

Don’t really have the chance to go to UYE’s, but when I do… it’s always a fun time! Thanks Maila for inviting and organizing this wonderful UYE!
Summary of last nights shananigans
1) Birthday boy Huy T. getting tipsy. He’s a happy/​mellow drunkie! :-P
2) Eat, drink, and be merry is an awesome anidote for having a time.
3) Kenny G. trying to persuade Unilocalers around him that he doesn’t have U.T.I. He was very animated. lol
4) Picture taking 101 by Maila. Reoccuring theme throughout the night was most of the pictures that were taken of her… made her look hungry. There were a lot of retakes.
5) I had a fun time meeting fellow Unilocalers… new and old!

Great place, great food, great friends what more could you ask for. thanks Maila for setting all this up it was great seeing familiar Unilocalers and meeting new really cool great Unilocalers. Glad I was able to attend. Looking forward to many more good times with all of these cool Unilocalers.

Ain’t no party like a UYE PAR-​TAY!
OH BOY did I need this. A SUPER DUPER FUN BDay Party for Huy disguised as a UYE get together just across the street from the Happiest Place on Earth! Woohoo
We got it started by meeting out on the patio where I did NOT waste anytime and ordered some FOOD and a MUCH needed DRINK! I was thinking it was going to be a UBER nite fo-​sho because I was NOT planning to hold back!
The festivities started and everyone got there EAT on and DRINK on and then were all heard that MAGICAL F WORD! FREE! Now ya’ll who know me know that is my FAV F-​word! Yes Miala and her CHARM was able to wrangle us up some FREE shots! Woohoo! I had already kicked back part of my first drink and some fried dumpling grub so I was pretty RET-​TO-​GO!
I decided to get a salad and then went back for some stir fry HEAVEN! They had me at SIRLON! A few veggies later and some heat and it was on and poppin. Funny how you think you have SOOO MUCH food in that bowl and it shrinks down to NOTHING! But it was just enough as I was REALLY trying to keep my inner Fatty in check which is probably why she started trying to kick the H*LL out of my stomach in an attempt to get out the closet where I had her bound and gaged! I just ignored her and the torture passed. hahahha!
We laughed, chatted, and eat, drank, I danced a lil, and then we sang a HORRIBLE first rendition of Happy Birthday. THANK GAWD no one video taped that debacle. But we had a chance to redeem ourselves once we went inside where one of the chefs did some WONDERFUL fire thing on the grill! SOOOO COOL!
I was happy as a clam until the fireworks started and I had to duck inside so I didn’t start my hyperventilating and crying escapade. I managed to make it through. Sorry I HATE fireworks. VERY PRETTY but I take issues with feeling like I am in Bosnia in some war zone.
Such a fun nite. I met my cuz Kenny G FINNALY! hahah (inside joke). AHHH-​MAZING to ALWAYS have the company of some GREAT non-​cray-​cray Unilocalers who know how to just have fun and take it all in! So GREAT to meet some of you for the first time!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUY! May this year bring you plenty of LOVE, LAUGHS and FOOD! hahahah

BEST UYE of 2015. *Drops the Mic*

You know it was a great UYE event when you begin typing your review with one eye closed because your iPad resolution is too frikkin’ bright.
And you know you’ve had too much to drink when you have to stop typing mid review because you’re too buzzed to go on…
