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.

Hello Mosaic Cuisine,

You are tasty and unique. Definitely worth trying at least once. I can't wait to come back and try the breakfast menu. We ordered 2 appetizers and 2 entrees (side of sweet potato fries). I ranked it below in order of tastiness.

Crab Cheddar Quesadilla

So good. Comes with generous portions of crab.  I will order you again.

Brie and Mango Quesadilla

Delightful. I love brie and I love mangos.  The crab is more flavorful though.

Sweet Potato Fries

Nice and crispy on the outside, soft and potato-y on the inside.

Pecan Grape Chicken Salad

The waffles were very light and airy. Makes me want syrup and eggs.  Interesting on a sandwich, but after a while I really missed good old buns.  The salad was a bit bland with the waffle, but the grapes were a nice touch.

Parmesan Paprika Chicken Picatta

No thanks chicken picatta. The flavor was unbearable to me.
Though this is a "customer favorite" and my friend recommended it too.
