Ruen Pair (Thai Town)

By in 04: Los Feliz

The Crab Cake with Plum sauce is so so, I can only taste/see the pork meat. ^^;; Combination Salad, this so-called salad is a guilty indulgence of all these appertizers with very particularly strong […]

A few entries back we went to this Okonomiyaki (Japanese Pancakes) called Gaja Moc .
