November Weekend Run-down (2015)

Btw, after a couple of those fuckers who needs dinner ???

It’s quite the meal in and of itself.

True, but I can’t pass up that monkfish tikka or the pork shank or the sticky toffee pudding…

shank was extremely delicious

interesting. does it taste like mochi or??

Excellent birthday meal at The Arthur J in Manhattan Beach. Gorgeous space… very mid-century modern/Mad Men-esque. So happy to finally have a great steakhouse over here in the South Bay.

Emmental popovers with butter and strawberry preserves:

Hamachi tartare with avocado, Thai chili, peaches, cucumber, peanuts, and puffed black rice chips:

Roasted carrots with orange, harissa yoghurt, and mint:

Butter laden mashed potatoes (the description on the menu for this dish said “Yes, you should.”, and I wholeheartedly agree with that):

34oz. 28 day dry aged prime tomahawk ribeye for two:

What is that ???

A fucking dessert ???

Where ???

It tasted like a flavorless jello. It was more a carrying vehicle for the sugar syrup that came with it.

Three great meals for me this weekend.

Friday night at Raku. Service was s…l…o…w but the Ken2 salad and the various robata items were outstanding.

Best meal of the weekend was lunch today at Rice Bar. Wow that sausage. The bowl is almost the platonic ideal lunch. Wish I could have this all the time.

Then blew my head off with 3 cochinita pibil (spice level 7) tacos at Guisados.

A nice break from West side food monotony.

Have been wanting to check out Seoul Sausage’s new location and finally did so tonight.

Kalbi sausage with kimchi relish, garlic jalapeño aioli, and fried shallots:

Lamb sausage with yogurt sauce, Chinese spice, cucumber salad, and mint:

Both hot dogs were good, but I liked my lamb one a lot more than my SO’s galbi one. I thought the galbi one was a little too sweet for my liking (I’m not the biggest fan of galbi to begin with). I also wish the kimchi relish had more of a kick. I liked the crunch from the onions, though.

Da KFC (twice fried wings, gochujang honey, and pickled daikon):

The wings were really nice and crunchy, and I liked the sauce a lot, but, I wish it were spicier. I feel like since the sauce was so sweet, it needed more heat to balance it out. If that even makes any sense… The pickled daikon was like crack, by the way.

Da Rappoki (roasted pork belly, ramen, egg):

This was my favorite. I think having a giant bowl of this on a cold night would be perfect. The dish had a nice bit of heat to it, but since I’m a spice fiend, I would have loved for it to be a lot hotter.

That looks luscious. How was it Porthos? :smile:

Gone in 60 seconds good. Really moist and not too sweet.
