First time at King’s Hawaiian Bakery, thanks to everyone here who has posted info about it.
Lilikoi Crunch and Pineapple Matcha mochi donuts, nice flavor and texture, would try again.
Coconut Pineapple and Paradise cheesecakes, not bad, worth trying at least once. The Coconut Pineapple is probably the better of the two, reminds me of eating Thrifty ice cream in the 90s. Kinda curious about their regular paradise cake version though.

I like the paradise cake better than the paradise cheesecake… my favorite is the paradise Angelfood cake. It’s great to fancy up for partities with fresh fruit and homemade creme anglaise.

PRD
Hainan Chicken
Still slaps. So happy that they’re doing a ton of business and still able to maintain a high quality, perfectly cooked product.
Bar Ama
Chicken Tamales
This was just a weekend special for Halloween, but it’s something that I’d wish they’d offer more regularly. Not that I don’t like the enchiladas (they’re great!) but I do miss the variety of Bar Ama’s beforetimes menu.
Laroolou
Salted Cookies and Cream Thiccie
Steps from PRD, I decided to check out Laroolou having seen some interesting things on the gram. Of course, the cookie was calling to me, and after just hearing Ted Lasso distill down “cookies and cream” so eloquently (“two great tastes that go great together”) I saw it as a sign. This 7 ounce (!!!) cookie fully lives up to its name, this thing is thicc. Digging in though, its crisp edges, big chunks of oreo cream, and barely cooked center reveal it to be equally delicious. It does taste like a giant oreo that’s got way more cream than should be legal. Heads up: I placed my order around 12:30 on Saturday and they only had a couple left with other items already being shown as sold out, so be sure to order ahead! The folks behind the stall were also so super friendly and I’m looking forward to trying some of their other items.

Best bite watch: snow crab tofu takes it this time.

how was it?
Was really good. I would order again if the location was more convenient for me. I would say it’s the best version I’ve had in Socal, but not as good as the ones I had in Hanoi.
I don’t think charcoal was used to cook the pork.

@rlw i missed out on those tamales they looked delicious. I too miss the full Bar Ama menu.
This weekend I picked up the Crab Cake Sando from Orsa & Winston. My favorite so far of the three Sandos he’s done. And of course the Rice Pudding. Hot damn

Went to Connie and Ted’s last night for dinner, they have converted their parking lot into a dining area. They were pretty busy, most tables seemed to be filled most of the night. Had a great meal there and didn’t notice any lack of consistency in the food. The mussels and clams dish is a great deal, they give you so much!
No valet parking so you have to find parking in the area

Jim’s Bakery - still the reigning dan tat and po tat champ in LA! So luscious and the crust is the perfect amount of delicate.
La Espanola - house bocadillo, excellent ingredients, so simply yet so complex.
Orleans and York - shrimp po’boy, always hits the spot.
Fat n Flour - Japanese sweet potato pie and peanut butter cookie sandwich
Church’s - spicy fried chicken sandwich, Popeyes has nothing to worry about.

You prefer cookie crust to puff pastry crust for your Dan taats?
I like both but prefer the most crumbly cookie style crust.
