Cafe Brazil (Palms)

By in 11: West LA

I took Joan to Cafe Brazil, (west LA is unfamiliar territory to her, she’s a Hollywood area person ^^;;). She had the dark chicken, a bit dry this time. I had the special Clam Pasta, very tasty and greasy, but the dark tiny canned clams are a bit off putting (which I avoided ^^;;). I […]

We found this new Japanese pub right next to […]

Though last time I was there, there was a very loud Japanphile American guy sitting in the next table, preaching about Natto […]

Le Saigon (West LA)

By in 11: West LA

Went to lunch with the nice Bl:nd gang! There’s little choice for non-Japanese Asian food on the West side. This is the other alternative to Hanoi Cafe for those of us who crave Vietnamese food. Both are same quality and similar priced…just generic American-friendly Vietnamese noodles. Bun (vermicelli) and coconut drink (taste canned). I forgot […]
