Went back to Jong Ro Shul Lung Tang and got the large sized pork neck stew. I think I prefer this version over the one at Gam Ja Tang.
It’s more flavorful with a barley undertone. Super meaty pork neck/pork back. Also got the kalbi tang which is decent but the pork neck stew is where it’s at. Panchan is meager which is a shame.
Where the what the???
Pozole. La Cabinita, Montrose.
Tantanmen. Anzutei, DTLA

+1. That looks and sounds divine!
From where, P?

Home cooked
Oxtail pho at Feu in Studio City.
Broth has the requisite star anise, etc. in the background, but is quite light in comparison to other pho broths. There is a lot of meat (and fat) on the oxtail bone in the soup. But as you work your way through it, the pho is truly one of the best I’ve tasted. Very rich once you consider the oxtail.
Kotoya, black garlic ramen. Broth isn’t super heavy, chashu is wonderful tender (but doesn’t have a crust). Egg (not pictured) is quite liquid-y inside and, curiously, isn’t halved (served whole). Really good neighborhood joint. 
Crab Omelet Ramen at eboshi in Lomita.
It wasn’t as good as I was hoping for. The eggs just dominated the crab in all but texture. Nice old Japanese family-run vibe though - I wonder if anything there is outstanding.
Will stick to Oumi Sasaya in that area.
Sapp Boat Noodles with Beef, liver and Tripe…
Combination Tofu with beef, oyster, clams and of course tofu. Raw egg was added as it was served and made it more creamy and delightfully rich. Very fresh and tasty banchan too.

Yoma. Samosa soup.
This was okay, but I remember the samosa salad being more enjoyable. Basically, this was a legume soup with little samosas inside.
Centro Basco in Chino serves the soup of the day with beans and bread for $6.95. Today it was a Manhattan-style clam chowder. You get a large tureen of soup, and after filling my bowl four times, I gave up. I think there was enough for six bowls of soup.
Was it any good? If good, that’s insane value. 
It can’t have been bad if he ate four bowls. :o)
Only about a month late…had the best split pea soup I have ever tasted at John O’Groats today. I don’t hang out there, but happened to be nearby The split pea soup was the soup of the day; today being Wednesday. A generous cup of that delicious soup and a half of a great roast turkey sandwich was quite wonderful and $9.95. There were other 1/2 sandwich choices, including BLT, tuna melt, tuna, etc. This was just great home cooked food.
