Takeout from (the justifiably always packed) Canaan Restaurant in Artesia. This is not your average Chinese takeout. No sirree… You can taste the proverbial love going into the food at this joint. The kung pao chicken (banal as it may sound), is the epitome of its class.
And the signature Canaan fish filet probably has crack in it (but no MSG, strangely)… Just incredibly great tasting food.

Evidently it’s soft shelled crab season - $10/each at Fish King. Their poke is still terrible btw.

I suspect the 2006 Clos de la Roche is drinking scads better than the 1992, yes?
1992 was surprisingly delicious.
The 06 will need another 10-20 years.

Thanks! It was my friend’s bday

Picked up a crispy rice salad from the Melrose Avenue branch of Bulan Thai Vegetarian Kitchen, which was one of my go-tos when I lived in East Hollywood. The salad has an irresistible contrast between the cool, raw veggies and the crispy peanuts, tofu, and fried brown rice, but it’s not recommended for those with severe TMJ. And how do they manage to make the dressing so funky without the aid of fish sauce? All in all, it’s perfectly apt food for a sweltering LA day, although Burmese tea leaf salad is still the winner and champeen in my book.
