Hey, guys. What’s up? I’m Ashana. Today I’m going to be guest vlogging for EF.
I am from Mumbai, India, but I study here in southern California.
Today, I’m going to take you to one of my favorite places in Costa Mesa.
We’re going to go to the Anti Mall and you guys are going to come with us.
My friend is also coming along, so you guys will get to see her.
Guys, we’re in Costa Mesa.
It’s basically an open-air or outdoor mall. That’s why it’s called the Anti Mall.
I have a picture from last year when I came here, but it was at night and they have lights at the top.
It’s so pretty at night.
Oh, they have vegan donuts here. They have so many vegan donuts here, guys.
It’s called Good Town Doughnuts. There it is.
Oh, yeah. Let me see.
They have so many vegan donuts. Maybe we can come back later.
Okay, guys. We’re going to go to Seabirds Kitchen. I was reading it here.
Seabirds Kitchen.
It says it has vegan and vegetarian options. I’m vegan, so we’re going to check that out.
Guys, we’re at Seabirds Kitchen and it’s all vegan.
I walked in, and I was like, “I saw you guys had vegan options”
but he’s like “yeah, it’s literally all vegan.”
How are you? Hi. Good. Do you want to say hi?
Hi. How are you? Welcome to Seabirds. Thank you.
We got two appetizers: Grilled cheese and purple taquitos.
Purple taquitos made of purple tacquitos. Oh yeah!
It’s vegan, but as my friend said, it tastes like normal grilled cheese.
One of the main reasons I moved to California is for the sunsets and sunrises.
I know! It’s literally for the sky, sunsets and sunrises
because the sky doesn’t look like this at all in Mumbai.
Also, guys, this place is really close to EF’s big, new L.A. campus,
which is going to be opening up in Costa Mesa.
It’s also close to EF’s summer language school. We’re just throwing that out there.
We basically ran to this place called The Camp.
The Camp has a lot of places where you can eat at and shop.
There’s a nail studio, and tons of vegan options as well.
We went to this café called Native Foods Café. They have specials every month.
This month’s special was a tandoori chicken sandwich,
which I thought was kind of funny because, I mean, I’m Indian.
Anyway, I ended up getting the grilled chicken burger
obviously, chicken means vegan chicken that’s made out of soy
and a side of mac and cheese. My friend got … I don’t know what this is.
I think it’s like a meatball sandwich or sub with fries.
I put ketchup on my mac and cheese. Yeah, I am that person.
Moving on, we just walked around and realized they also have a fitness studio inside The Camp.
We went into this store called Purre. Purre?
I don’t know how to say it, but I’m going to say “Pure.”
It was a boutique. We just looked around, but we didn’t really find anything here.
Then we spotted this other place inside The Camp.
It was called the 2nd Street and we just had to go inside
because it was buy-and-sell, secondhand clothes/accessories for men and women.
We love thrift shopping because it’s better for the environment.
Secondhand stuff is always better for the environment than just buying it firsthand.
It was so big, guys. They had sick stuff.
My friend was, again, looking at jewelry because she loves jewelry.
Then I found this oversized jacket from someone who went to the military.
It was so sick, and I think it cost like $33 dollars, so I just bought it.
We ended up going to this place called Vitaly café.
It was an Italian café and we got some ice cream there.
I got a dark chocolate sorbet. It was so good.
Okay, I’m ending this video for real this time. If you guys liked this video, give it a thumbs up.
And comment below with some of your favorite places that I should visit in Costa Mesa.
Bye guys.
