Udon with pork, poached egg, fish cake and vegetables

Golden boxes were gone by 1PM. Grabbed a random assortment to share with my sister. In random order: glazed, gauva, lemon, apple fritter, bumbleberry, pumpkin spice.
The guava glaze comes third to my all-time favorites: lemon and pistachio.

Arturo’s Puff Tacos (Whittier)
Pro-tip: salsa on the side if getting them to go. They held up well on the 5 minute drive home before we dug in and sauced them up. For heat-loving folks, the green salsa packs quite the punch. I mixed both red and green for the perfect balance.

Damn how was the apple fritter?! That’s my jam

The apple fritter was quite good and amazing fresh from the fryer. I do wish that the apple pieces were bigger, though.

Pizza Wagon. Looks good!

But, I can tell Anthony (the owner) wasn’t working today. Because as @lapizzamaven has mentioned, it can be too thick.

Thick…

… and thick…

Ugh.

I had Pizza Wagon yesterday. Anthony was working and my pie was still on the thicker side. Still delicious.

looks like a reminder to “keep it thin crust” when ordering is a wise move!

It was a stupid postmates order.

I did put in the notes :: “ PLEASE MAKE THIS THIN — EXTRA THIN IF POSSIBLE”

The best Peruvian in North OC. Higo Chicken. Everything is flavorful and on point.

Must order these monster home made fries. Crispy and creamy inside. Better than In N Out by a country mile.


Juicy well seasoned rotisserie chicken.

Sweet caramelized plantains to offset the aji sauce.

Forgot to take a pic of the lomo saltado but it’s also a must order. Great wok hei. My kids turned around when they were cooking the dish to see the flame 2-3 feet into the air. I told them wok hei means dragons breathe and they immediately understood. The sauce on top of the rice with a piece of onion, meat and aji is one of those wonderful bites.

Lots of take out orders. Lots of locals and regulars. Always good, nice people and one of those local restaurants you love to support.
