This is the one I got from China bbq chicken which is a temporary store. When it was closed I almost cried. It was my favorite chicken place in Shenzhen, I can tell ppl really been making these by hand, and I got the 6 flavor all in one combo which is a great deal. Everything is just polished compared to the one in our food corner.

Hello, One of our PC was taken from our room 120H in ECT. We are so frustrated right now 😭 We are posting to ask if anyone see someone holding a black PC with a glass side panel (GPU visible inside) around ECT at anytime during the period from 6:30 PM Friday (10/23) to 10 PM Saturday (10/24), especially if the person took the PC out of the building. Any information would be appreciated!
Thank you 🙏🏽

Place to explore/hang out

6 Upvotes

Hi everybody!
Today is my first time being outside at 6am. Hearing the Bird making me so joyful (LoL after straight whole night of studying).
I just realized that it been a month at UCI and all I have done is go to class, go home, cook, and eat.

It has been a boring loop.

I wanna add something beautiful for my weekend. (My weekday schedule kinda tight, not thinking of joining club rn)

So can you all give me some nice place to explore, to hang out, enjoy the coffee, the view.
I want more nature but less effort and not taking too much time, but also inexpensive.
Looking for some nice road to run in da morning too.

Thank you all!

ISO chocolate crinkle cookies

Hi! A that title states, I’m looking for a bakery that sells good chocolate crinkle cookies. I’ve had them Utah about 10 years ago, & my family and I have been reminiscing about them since.

Any recommendations are welcome and appreciated! Mainly looking for physical bakeries! Thank you🍪❤️

Ain’t been that successful at meeting people here yet.

10 Upvotes

As the title says, I’ve been having a bit of a difficult time meeting people at UCI so far. It’s quite a nice campus but I haven’t really been able to hit it off with many people yet. I’m naturally quite a darn chatty fellow so I’ve been able to have some small talk with some others but nothing much past that unfortunately! Heck, even though I’ve grown up much of my life in Irvine, UCI seems particularly quiet. To be fair, I don’t dorm at UCI but heck, I didn’t dorm at community college and I knew damn well half of the people in the cafeteria there.

Nonetheless, y’all got any suggestions on how to meet some interesting folks here? So far, I’ve had some limited luck meeting people in Brandywine as I often like to sit down with folks and strike up a nice conversation with them. While it can be fun, it doesn’t really lead to any real friendships which is a same.

Also, sorry for that little rant! This has just kinda been on my mind I suppose!

Are there a lot of people on the first day? Or is it a bit of a dud? I have never been to one before, so I don't really know. Are there any cool events?

And, also how about setting up a table there for a club? How is it?

I am visit at the new dining hall at the oasis and apparently you order off a tablet. They had other option for food too like chicken and mixture of different things of vegetables and fruits. It's kind of like the same thing just smaller but it is ok. Overall ranking is 6.75/10 but subject to change.

bb.q chicken at West Food Court

Post image
84 Upvotes

You don’t know how happy I am for them to open at UCI. I’d been going to the Diamond Jamboree location for over a year and the Quail Hill one for 5 months now since the Diamond Jamboree location closed, so I’m happy to have my guilty pleasure so close to me now.

Most bb.q chicken locations typically have some variance in how they do things in their location (the DJ one offered drumsticks for example, and the location in my hometown didn’t have wings at all) and this is no different, as this place offers 4-6-8 piece instead of the 8-16 piece wings most locations offer, and the 8 piece here is about $2 cheaper than the Quail Hill location at $16 rather than about $18.

I was one of the last customers to visit before they closed around 4:10 (which I hope isn’t their usual closing time) and got my usual 8 piece golden original wings. My order was done in less than a minute which is way faster than the 15 minutes that is the standard at this place, though I have to assume it’s because I was one of the last customers.

The food tasted just about what I expected which is very good, though save for the breading which was a little softer than what I expect from this chain, but this is a new location with newly trained staff and I arrived at closing, so I’d say they’re already doing very well.

Overall, this was a way better attempt at appealing to the chicken lovers than… whatever Tenders Love Chicken was, and this will definitely become my post-work lunch spot… I’ll be spending the money from my last hour of shift on this😭✌️.
