Cream pan yay! Also Hamada-ya does a great rendition too although they use fresh crème instead of custard cream.

Are you sure they are using a coal oven and not a charcoal oven? Coal is fossil fuel, a natural product. Commercial charcoal on the other hand is manufactured by human by killing trees.

Milk farm has some great sandwiches on bub and grandma bread. Also their cheese is spectacular albeit sticker shockingly expensive.

No photos but my table of four went to Luyu Dumplings and ate quite a bit.
My standouts? The spicy noodles; the dumplings with pork and lotus root (really terrific); and something I ordered at my tablemates urging “egg rolls.” I believe we received Shandong Style egg roll - which if anyone out there can help me articulate? It had a visual similarity to a beef roll with the wrapper made of egg. The interior was a swiss roll type, however it had a non-sweet piece of fried bread/fat noodle? It also had greens (similar to lettuce) and probably something between sesame and peanut butter. It was a taste combination that was totally new to me, and something that I would not be able to order in a westernized restaurant.

Added in most of this month’s fun food in one place.
Happy October 
Matsutake is very tasty this month! Not in any order but all happiness & tastiness. Good news: Yasu San at Innaba will be back soon. His daughter has just arrived last Saturday.
What will be on next month’s diet 
Any suggestions?
Sorry for the long scary scroll. Happy Halloween

My short answer: it’s a must stop, even if I can only have one city stop (SF) before Harbor House 
Star worthy 
I’ll give you my food report after getting my Korean snacks at the grocery store 
I had a little adventure from LA to SF during rush hours that Friday, driving off road on a petroleum field… Junsoo shared his private garage parking spot to help me catch the last seating. It was too kind of him in the middle of service hours 
Low-key saying… if anyone wanna eat SSAL, I’ll drive you to SF lol
Chef Simon from Marden’s Chicken Rice and chef Junsoo used to work together. Simon told me about that. What a small and cool world 
I visited 2 days before matsutake hit SSAL tho. I need to come back soon!
