Ramen joints are a dime a dozen in the Los Angeles area, so each restaurant has to be really amazing and distinctive if they want to stand out. Men Oh Tokushima is one of the newer ones in LA. They’re known for their Tokushima ramen, which, unlike the typical bowl of ramen, contains a blend [...]

West Hollywood Costume Carnival 2011 – Pictures

November 3rd, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Events, Festivals, Los Angeles County, Travels / 1 Comment

Here are the photos from my camera of the West Hollywood Costume Canrnival. As always, there was a lot of 2011 movie-inspired costumes such as the Smurfs and Black Swan, and then there are the tabloid-inspired costumes such as Lindsay Lohan and the Morgue, and Michael Jackson and Propofol. My favorite, however, was the Costco [...]

Must Eat Portobello Fries at Bottega Louie

September 22nd, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Food, Italian, Los Angeles County, Must Eat, Travels / 1 Comment

Everyone makes such a big deal about the macarons at Bottega Louie, but I’m still not impressed. They just don’t taste fresh to me. However, I do like dining here. My favorite dish of theirs, as is the same with most people, is their portobella fries, battered and fried, served with a side of aioli. [...]

Must Eat Croissants at Little Next Door

December 28th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Food, French, Los Angeles County, Must Eat, Travels / Leave A Comment

Best croissants in LA? Maybe. It was hard not to eat every last bite of every single type of croissants Little Next Door had to offer in their breakfast basket. Their croissants are just so flaky and buttery and moist – definitely some of the best. And their food, overall, is solid. 8142 W 3rd [...]

Now this is the hungry man’s place. Portions at Doughboys Cafe and Bakery are huge, including their French onion soup. Their French onion soup is a monster. Just look at that picture!

Must Eat Oxtail Pho at Pho 2000

December 28th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Los Angeles County, Must Eat, Travels, Vietnamese / Leave A Comment

It’s funny how one of the local favorites for pho happens to be Korean-owned, but who cares, right? Good food is good food. Pho 2000 has been around forever now. I first went there about five years ago during the late hours, and now I’m back to the same original location, though I see now [...]

The East coast favorite Magnolia Bakery made its way from New York to Los Angeles, and it brought its famous treat – the banana bread pudding. It’s soft, it’s mushy, it’s sweet, and it’s very banana-ey. Banana lovers with a sweet tooth have to try this! 8389 W 3rd St Los Angeles, CA 90048 Neighborhood: [...]

I’ve been wanting to make a visit to Katsu-ya for a while now but haven’t had the chance. Fortunately, my coworkers introduced me to The Izaka-ya by Katsu-ya, which  is still part of the Katsu-ya group, but a lower-end version and at a fraction of the price. The rave is all on their creamy rock [...]

Black Squid Ink Tagliolini Pasta at La Piazza at the Grove

December 19th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Italian, Los Angeles County, Travels / Leave A Comment

I had dinner at the La Piazza at the Grove. I have to say, their outdoor seating has one of the best views of the Grove, especially during Christmas with all the decorations. The food was okay. Their prosciutto pizza would have been better if the crust was crispy, and their risotto was not bad [...]
