Feng Maoed again again!
This dessert is just glorious (not that I had any). Rice stick, grilled, dipped in condensed milk. 1+1=3

Have you tried the pizzle?
Hard pass… uhhuhhhuhuh
The new pastrami sandwich on rye at Gwen, I believe it’s Australian Waygu pastrami $16.00.
This was good and different style of pastrami (compared to a Langers or Greenblatts). It was tasty, but wish I had gotten the meatball after the fact 
. Worth it to get for LA pastrami completists.
Margarita pizza at Cal Mare at the Beverly Center. Only went here because they were selling these pizzas for 53 cents yesterday since the Rams are going to the super bowl. It was actually pretty tasty. Interesting restaurant, but the menu is quite pricey (for a restaurant in a mall). Don’t think I’ll ever go back for a real dinner at their price point unfortunately… rather hit something in the mozza tier for the price.

whoa, hold up! what’s that black sauce korean noodle???!!!
that’s a crazy sounding weekend yo
Who in Ktown has the best Korean JJM?
Dinner at You Kitchen in Alhambra. Tried a few of the baos and dumplings – all very tasty. Loved the green onion pancake – best version I’ve had in some time. I liked how it was crispy on the edge and yet slightly doughy in the middle, and not too greasy. Bottom left: I forget the name but it was basically a plate of fried strips of dough, lightly sweetened. What’s not to love?

Yu Ga Ne (7th & Irolo), followed by Young King (Olympic & Harvard).
Although I don’t think anyone in ktown does it exceptionally well the places I enjoy the most are
Hong Kong banjum on 6th (Korean chain)
And Pao jao dumpling in the food court at ktown plaza on western
They both have the seafood stir fried versions too that add a little bit of wok hei
Wow, those Fundamental LA pics look great. I usually avoid food in Westwood proper like the plague, but that looks worth a visit…

Chef Min Kim (previously the CDC at Spring DTLA) is now helming Fundamental LA Westwood. He brings a great Korean sensibility to the menu. I enjoyed my recent meals there immensely. It’s like Papille: Focus is on deft execution.
How I want that Yuzu Shio Ramen!!!
I feel like I need to have this on a shirt. It’s brilliant.
Does anyone know what it’s called or how common it is? I don’t think I’ve ever seen or eaten that…
Fascinating! I would’ve never considered a zwah bing lightly sweetened, although I guess I can sort of see that. And zwah bings I’ve seen/eaten before usually look more bread-y.
The only pictured almost looks like strips of apples.
Hee, hee.
Forgive me if this is what zwah bing means but I believe at You Kitchen they call it Hand Grasping Cake.
That’s pretty much what zwah (grab) bing means.
