We demolished the holy basil seafood night dinner. Best thing of the night was the curry crab although every thing was very good we had all the seafood dishes plus pad see ew and roast pork. Chef deau said the curry is Indian/Thai inspired since he great up in India. It was not very busy so hopefully word of mouth picks it up more because the food and the pricing are so reasonable and this is drinking food so everything pairs well with some wines or beers. Def worth checking out and he mentioned they are expanding into Atwater and west side so keep a lookout for those places.
Bang bang with Kato bar, best drink program in LA this plus outstanding snacks. Saw caviar influencer @Clayfu enjoying Kato dinner hope it was delicious.
Tried to do a triple bang but Bianco closes kinda early.
Wow. Fried whole belly clams were an inexpensive treat when I was a kid in Rhode Island (although I personally couldn’t stomach them [pun intended] - I was a clam strips only kid). Out of curiosity I looked up the current prices at a few seafood restaurants there and they all say MP.
They are no longer inexpensive even in ipswitch. It’s all Mkt price there too and when we went last year it was around $30 for a large box. We have had Connie and Teds recently… they aren’t as sweet or plump… but what they charge we feel is fair and does come very very close to the experience…
BBQ mix with sticky rice - delicious mix of Lao sausage, chicken thighs and ribeye steak. Would order this again, great variety and the dipping sauce they provide is delicious.
Nam khao (crispy rice salad) - definitely one of the better versions I have had throughout SoCal. Those fried dried chilis were pretty fuckin spicy yet not unpleasant.
Mango with pandan sticky rice - wow, this was fuckin amazing. Nice soft and sweet mango coupled with the warm pandan sticky rice. Incredible pandan dessert!
Had some good ass mini-kabob. Armen joked that I was late and was gonna charge me double. They were out of eggplant caviar which made me sad.
We had the beef shish, chicken thighs, and chicken koobideh. Juicy and well seasoned as always. No photos ate it too quickly.
Holbox is running out of a food truck as someone mentioned and with a limited menu had some tacos and ceviche. Can’t wait for the expansion hopefully it means more menu offerings too. Also had some very tasty menudo from the stall next to chichen itza great for a rainy day. The garifuna belizian ex food truck Saraba opened in the old mo chica space has a very interesting menu.
I dunno, I went last night and had clear view of the entire shaved iced work station and they were loading them up with syrup. Using nearly half of the liquid of each squeezy bottle. I did not order as shaved ice is not my jam, but it was impressive.
it doesn’t soak past the middle. They also don’t layer any ingredients inside.
You can see in @PorkyBelly photo and other photos on yelp that the syrup doesn’t make its way to the bottom of the ice and if it does it’s pretty minimal.
I remember eating it and thinking… hm… i could use more of the actual ingredients once I got past the 30% of the ice.
They called it the Rampart lol it used to be a special and I think they made it weekend special. But I’ve been during the middle of the week and they still had it on the menu. Delicious!
