Prana Café — Studio City
Monday, June 2, 2008 20:40 No CommentsA sister restaurant to the one on La Cienega, and situated beneath Romanov Restaurant, Prana Café is a welcome addition to Studio City (even if some of us miss the Albano’s Pizzeria place it supplanted).
Indoor seating is along the west wall, opposite the closed in but windowed kitchen, is reminiscent of the old Out Take [...]
Green Village
Thursday, May 29, 2008 9:51 No CommentsThe family and I went to Green Village for dinner over the weekend. The place was fancy compared to most of the Chinese restaurants we go to and the prices certainly reflect slightly more upscale decor.
We started off with a cold plate of koufu (vegan). It’s a famous Shanghainese dish made out of [...]
Chinese Breakfast Showdown II
Tuesday, May 27, 2008 21:43 4 CommentsIt’s time for Chinese Breakfast Showdown Part 2. Part 2? Where and what is Part 1? It’s Yi Mei vs. Yung Ho. This time, I will compare Yi Mei Monterey Park (review) to Four Sea in Hacienda Heights.
First and foremost is the savory dou jiang (soy milk). There was a bit [...]
Benser - tasty?
Sunday, May 25, 2008 13:49 4 CommentsI’m not really sure what the English name for this restaurant is, but it’s on the corner of Life Plaza. It initially was just a dessert place specializing in Chinese desserts like mango pudding and shaved ice, but now it’s on the hand-shaved (dao xiao) bandwagon.
The BF ordered the house special vegetarian noodle soup. [...]
Musha (Santa Monica)
Wednesday, May 14, 2008 0:23 3 CommentsI had dinner at Musha, an izakaya in Santa Monica, recently and wanted to highlight some or our favorites on the menu. The place is small and gets pretty crowded at night so we made a reservation a day or so beforehand just so we didn’t have to wait thirty to sixty minutes for [...]
Noodles at Kam Hong Garden (MPK)
Thursday, May 1, 2008 19:43 2 CommentsTo passerbyers, Kam Hong Garden isn’t much to look at. It’s in its own little corner of a little strip mall and upon entering it, I thought that it looked a little too clean and sterile to be a delicious noodle-house in the SGV. Luckily, I was proven wrong.
The waiters at Kam Hong [...]
Real Food Daily - Vegan For the Rest of Us
Wednesday, July 18, 2007 7:24 4 CommentsI’m an omnivore. I have had some food weirdness in the past, no dairy, no red meat, no mammals, but never fully vegetarian or anything close to vegan. I like vegetarian food though, sometimes even a raw menu now and then.
I tried Real Food Daily for the first time, and I can confidently say [...]
Artisan Cheese Gallery - outstanding cheeses in Studio City
Friday, July 13, 2007 16:23 19 CommentsI love cheese. No, wait - I adore cheese. I don’t mean that rubbery, bland molten and stringy stuff you generally find on pizzas, nor that weird orange stuff you find melted inside a quesadilla. Don’t offer me a highly processed slice of square, plastic-wrapped plastic ‘cheese’ unless you want to [...]
