For our last meal in LA, we went to The Apple Pan. They have one of the best (if not the best) traditional burgers that I’ve ever had. It was a patty with lettuce, onions and ketchup with melted natural Tillamook Cheddar cheese – simple! It reminded me o an In-N-Out burger, but smokier since [...]

It seems like I’ve been coming to Izakaya Haru Ulala a lot lately. They close at 2 a.m. in the weekends so it’s always a good spot to check out when hungry. Considering how much we’ve been eating all day, we ordered a lot of food here. My favorites were the radish in the braised [...]

We went into Susina Bakery & Cafe to take a break from eating and just sip on some tea and digest. I had their apricot tea, which was good, and caffeine-free. I was tempted to get a slice of a cake or tart, but I stopped myself since we were going to move on to [...]

I love the way Milk looks, inside and out. In terms of food, it’s just okay. Everything looks pretty, but I’ve had better, especially after having just visited Patisserie Chantilly in the morning for cakes and Scoops in the afternoon for ice cream. I did, however, like their chocolate macaroon and their banana ice cream. [...]

Our next meal in LA was at Orris on Sawtelle where we had some Japanese-French fusion tapas. This was my second time here, and I’m still digging their tempura anchovies and salmon croquettes, two of my favorite items there. I also really liked their burrata bruschetta, which I got to try for the first time [...]

I’m glad we got to visit my favorite ice cream shop in LA: Scoops. (I even have their addressed memorized!) This time I went with a scoop of strawberry verbena ice cream and a scoop of Guinness caramel ice cream. I have to say though that even though I didn’t get it this time, brown [...]

Wurstkuche looks like a warehouse from the outside but it’s actually the home of the wildest sausages out there. I was able to try some crazy sausages such as the Rattlesnake & Rabbit with Jalapeño Peppers sausage, the Rabbit, Veal & Pork Seasoned with White Wine sausage, and the Duck & Bacon with Jalapeño Peppers [...]

We dropped by Fugetsu-Do in Little Tokyo real quick since it was closeby. The strawberry manju wasn’t as good as the last time I had it, but the strawberry mochi was still really good. Overall, this is still my favorite place for mochi in LA.

We went to Bottega Louie after lunch. We mainly went for their bakery side. It was nice and huge inside, but it all felt so superficial, including the food. The pastries were pretty but were just dry and loaded with sugar. Maybe their hot food is better?

We had lunch at A-Won Japanese Restaurant in Koreatown. This is Linda and my favorite place to eat hoedeopbap (회덮밥) because it’s big and really cheap (~$14) unlike in SF. What I also had here that was different this time and was really good was their albap (알밥), a fish egg rice dish, as pictured [...]
