I love Odessa! I keep imploring my Ukrainian neighbor to go there with me and explain everything.
yup!
Shabu shabu for the past two days. It’s easy, comforting and perfect for this rainy weather

I made “clay pot” rice with shitaake mushrooms, chicken, and Chinese sausage yesterday for a rainy vday. “Clay pot” because I used a metal pot but still great for a cold wet day.

Great! I know what the fish are but this dazzling display of charcuterie is a new world…
I didn’t take any pictures of the pastry case.

Yes! Also, beef nabe. Which I get at the shabu place, but has a tastier broth (don’t know what they put in there, miso?), which infuses the meat and veggies. So much so that you don’t really even need much of the dipping sauces.

FWIW, I find the pastries better at Tashkent down the street (on Laurel Cyn just before Chandler)

the rain was incidental. i tried recently opened jiang nan spring in alhambra. turns out that they’re related (sister?/) to chang’s garden. the menus look extremely familiar. service was unusually attentive. my tea cup was refilled about 5-6 times.
