Cube at Divine Pasta Co. (La Brea)

By in 09: Weho

Cube is a restaurant inside a gourmet store that sells fresh made pasta, ravioli sauce, sauce, cheese, olive oil and much more. I’ve always want to try it ever since reading the review on Triplecreme. A big part of the restaurant is the “Cheese bar” (as I call it) in which the bar is filled […]

Polka (Eagle Rock)

By in 03: Eagle Rock

Finally try the Polish restaurant Polka at Eagle Rock. I’ve heard about their kitschy interior and oh boy~ it’s so full of wonders. There’s no kitschy interior complete without a ‘moving waterfall lightbox.’ There’re so many random things hanged on the wall: parachuted Santa Claus fan, vintage tennis racket, etc. When the owner served me […]
