The ultimate comfort food: Homemade Corn Beef Hash.
This is good. Not that greasy too. I emphasized the word “homemade” because on the menu you can order ‘canned’ version, strange…^^;;; The side cottage potatoes with pepper and onion are not oily too, very good. This is a very popular diner nearby the Sony Pictures Studio, you can customized your pancakes, omelettes, etc.
Chicken Makini, and many others I don’t know the names of. The front orange thing (?) taste incredibly sweet, I wonder what it is…
I was looking for another restaurant but the address pointed me to this Indian restaurant. The buffet is $5.99, all you can eat. The food are all very tasty. Bollywood movies were playing on the TV monitor. Cheap and good~
Mayura Restaurant is located at Venice cross Motor
Since I’ve been a bit slow in update, I’ll fill up the page with bigger picture (and deservingly so).
A great Sunday Brunch is the best kind of meal ever. The crowd here at this West Hollywood restaurant (near the Boystown) are all young, fashionable looking people, despite the typical dated Californian (= nondescript) buliding exterior.
Strawberry Chai Spice Pancakes: Strawberry, cardamon, cinnamon and ginger infused pancakes. How can a pancake taste this GOOD!? It smells heavenly, tasty subtle & hard to grasp but deliciously unique, and the texture is very smooth, not pasty and cakery at all.
Joan got the Raspberry Chocolate French Toast. There’re fresh raspberry inbetween the toast. Very fresh and good~ The maple syrup was real maple syrup, so delicious.
Their menu is full of interesting, unique and gourmet sounding items. Now that I’ve read more about this place, seems like their Pasta Papa is very famous (pasta scrambled with eggs, bacon and sausage). Also their Bloody Mary, I can’t wait to go back to try.
Hugo’s Restaurant: 8401 Santa Monica Blvd. West Hollywood
This place buy ads like crazy on Citysearch (shows up whenever you search for Japanese restaurant on the west side) that it imprinted in my brain. So one night two friends and I thought of coming here to try.
Seabass and Roasted Eggplant. Can’t help feeling both of these cooked dishes’s sauce taste a bit too similar.
Uni, Caviar Oyster and Uni Sushi. The Oysters were small, very good. Since it was a small tiny gulp…I couldn’t taste the uni well. When I had the uni sushi…hmm it’s not good uni (refrained from using certain word to describe it).
Very fresh Yellow-Tail and normal Oyster. GOOD!
The Toro alone was $30 alone…
They said it’s a Japanese tapas place (by tapas it really meant small dishes, not izakaya either). We were all kinda ‘meh’ on some of their sushi, especially for the high price. I especially expected good quality of their premium stuffs (Toro, Uni). There’re better sushi elsewhere with fairer price (Ike), but I guess this place is more about the whole package: slick traditional-chic decor, ambient, good wine/sake selection, pretty sake bottle, Rashomon playing on monitor…etc.
My friend’s BF prepared this gorgeous dinner for a party of 8 all by himself! Lucky girl~ 😀 
He cooked the Shrimp Pasta and Chocolate Mousse. Both are delicious…amazing~
