Jade Noodles. Great bowl. Noodles cooked perfect. BBQ Pork on par with non-Canto places…sad. BUT that roast pork! Would make any Michoacán natives happy. Duck was juicy. Portions and price are higher than other Thai Town places. Damn good bowl.
Hokkien Mee. Every bit of squid, fish ball, and fish cake was tasty. The gravy and noodles mixed well together and with the fried and carmelized shallots to give you a delicious savory taste. Big bowl!
Fish Curry. Wanted to try the signature dish. My taste buds must be amateur. Not for me personally tbh.
Edit: Why are my pics sideways when posted but normal on my poverty iPhone 5?
The coconut to me overpowers everything. I want to taste the fish/crab, lime, shallots, garlic, etc. but my tastebuds only get one note. I want to be open minded. Maybe over time I can appreciate and enjoy curry.
Fixed the problem with small portions at Luv2eat last night by just ordering extra noodles with my jade noodle order for $2 more. Turned it into a massive portion. Issue solved.
Also, L.A. may have spoiled me forever on thai food. Vancouver, a city with a tremendous asian immigrant population, has almost nothing beyond the standard pad thai / drunken noodles / satay fare…
the roti at night market song was quite richer and crispier for me… maybe it was just a bad one at luv 2 eat… it was like a bleh scallion pancake without scallions… best one for me is at Simpang so far… unless you go bangla at Swadesh or something.
it may just be a case of different regional styles and expectations but i would not want a paratha (which is what indians would call that roti) that was crispy. the kind of paratha i am talking about is also what is called roti in malay food, by the way. it always bugs me that malaysian restaurants in the u.s can all make such good parathas while so few of the thousands more indian restaurants can make one worth a damn.
i have no idea what this style of roti should be like but for the sake of furthering confusion: a good indian paratha is never greasy and should not be crispy /flaky either. it can have crispy bits on the top but it should be soft/pliable but still composed of many layers.
