LA eating fun (part 2)

Eating day #2 was great. I found another favorite to add to my piqqy collection! Check out Porto's bakery if you're ever by Burbank (also in Glendale and Downey). Thanks nuba for a fun and very full 1.5 days.

Porto's Bakery: Cheese Rolls

my friend brought some back to share after his LA trip, and i had to check it out myself. As expected, it was even better fresh.

Porto's Bakery: potato balls

fried mashed potato balls with seasoned ground beef, fantastic.

Jelly Bean Factory: dark chocolate covered strawberry jelly bellys!

we sampled a bunch of dark chocolate covered jelly beans, and we all liked strawberry the best. i greedily brought me back a few bag fulls. i wonder when they'll start selling it in regular stores.

Santouka: Spicy Miso Ramen combo

my friend used to live by a Mitsuwa in Jersey and i loved going there whenever we visited, so I got rather excited seeing Mitsuwa in LA. If I lived near one I would go all the time.

Ice Pan: imaginary ice cream

natural ice cream made in an ice pan right in front of you? i was SO ready. too bad it shut down. haha.

LA eating fun (part 1)

While I was in cali, I got to swing by and visit a really good friend in LA. we only had 1.5 days, but it was enough time to squeeze in 6 meals. :) horaay for good eating buddies (and husbands who try to keep up).

Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles: #2 SCOE's 1/4 Chix smothered with gravy & onions, and 2 waffles

I ordered the southern style cuz I'm not big on gravy, but my friend gave me a piece of her chicken and I was jealous. I liked how the skin was still crispy even with all that gravy on top. yum.

Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles: #1 SCOE's 1/4 Chix prepared southern style, and 2 waffles

waffles were pretty plain. chicken was a little dry. i'd stick with the gravy chicken.

Moishe's Gyro

my friend loves the gyro here, but i didn't like how i could taste the gameyness in the lamb.
oh but i do love how it's in this market that's tucked away behind the Grove outdoor shopping center.
A very cute place to shop, eat, and play!

King Taco: Carne Asada and Carnitas Taco

I can't remember which one I liked better, but it was really about that green sauce anyway.

Pepe's Tacos: Pepe's Burrito (pork, rice, cheese, salsa, lettuce, onion tomato, guacamole, no beans, no cheese & sour cream on the side please)

this burrito was massive and good. It made me wish I left more room in my stomach so I could eat it all.
