Which one restaurant are you most happy that it's close to you?

I’m not sure there’s anything else. Maybe some oil if the pork isn’t fatty enough to fry by itself.

i suspect that no one from the SGV has commented so as not to make everyone else feel bad about it, but there is no one place when you live near the s. pas/alhambra border and you have options like the sun nong dan breakfast special at $6.99, the pork chop rice at old country cafe until midnight, the beef roll at zui xiang yuan (the old flavor garden), the noodles at liang’s, banh mi from banh mi my tho. golden deli, embassy kitchen, etc. all within a 10 minute drive. bulgarini’s is about 12 minutes. fosselmann’s half of that. i haven’t even mentioned dim sum yet. went back to carnitas el momo last friday. less than 15 minutes just taking huntington to soto.

for the heck of it i tried their pork chop rice which wasn’t up to OCC standards but it did include kimchi and they mixed their pickled veggies in with the rice, if that’s your kind of thing.

i get sandwiches there so often i don’t always document them. here’s a pic from late last year (and probably the only pic that wasn’t taken in 2018)
