Pinoy /Pinay - June 29, 2009

At Pinoy/Pinay - I had their dinuguan, with laing, with rice and a coke. A good hearty Filippino meal. Within the south east area of Los Angeles, I'd have to say this is the best Filippino restaurant.

Famous Hamburger - June 28, 2009

Famous Hamburger advertises itself as a halal food preparer. I could discern no difference between halal and non halal food. I had the salmon burger and the hamous. They also have halal bacon cheeseburger. What?!?!? Next time I must try it and they have a hookah lounge too.

South Pacific Thai Food Restaurant - June 2009

I had their lunch buffet. Their was pad thai, and a chicken curry dish. The other entrees I couldn't remember. It was filling. If I had to choose between being filled and being fufilled, I'd have to pass over South Pacific Thai.

Shan - June 2009

The third Indian restuarant I've been to. The first Indian halal restuarant that I've been too. I had their Veggie Samosa and Mutton curry. The mutton curry was very spicy. I would return during their all you can eat lunch buffet. My first time trying the yogurt mango drink lassi. I feel like such a deflowered virgin.


18621 S. Pioneer Blvd., Artesia, CA

Royal Taste Thai - June 2009

I had their seafood soup. The soup was flavored with lemon grass, mussels, tilapia, squid, and crab pincers. It was good. I would pay another visit.


14232 Bellflower Blvd., Bellflower, CA

Pho 2000 - June 27, 2009

At Pho 2000, I had their special combo #2. The soup came with limes, jalapeno chilis, basil and dandelion leaves. Other Pho places don't serve dandelion leaves. I consider the eating experience slightly above average on food and service. For entertainment on the flat screen TV on the wall they had VH1's tribute to Michael Jackson, but they turned the volume down and were playing from the radio KLOVE.

Lee's Sandwiches June 27, 2009

At Lee's Sandwiches I had the Grilled Pork #5. They also have a deli where you can DIY Vietnamese style sandwiches.

Jeepney Asian Grill

11900 South Street, Ste. 101,
Cerritos, CA 90703

Pseudo-Filipino (I thought I would never encounter such a place), but when your competing against Pinoy/Pinay you have to whitey up the menu to survive.

Good all you can eat lunch buffet. Tandori chicken, lamb, beef, good variety.

L & L Hawaiin Barbecue - June 2009

At L & L Hawaiin Barbecue, I had their L & L Hawaiin barbecue mix. Amongst all the other Hawaiin places this one has the greatest variety. It would be worth it to try the other items on the menu. The Loco Moco sounds intriguing, but if you're Mexican you'd avoid it because of the name.


8760 Washington Blvd, Pico Rivera, CA 90660

Renu Nakorn - June 14, 2009

At Renu Nakorn, I had the tod mun plar and the roasted duck curry. Exciting dishes. I'd go back for more.

Ba Le Sandwich Shop - June 2009

First time I went to this place I found it to be so good I came back a second time. The second time I went I got the runs.


1426 S. Atlantic Blvd, Alhambra, CA 91803

This places reminds me of a story where a deli serves slices of its rotting meat until they've sold the entire carcass.

Krazy Kabobs - June 2009

Closest Armenian restuarant/deli in the neighborhood. Next closest is Glendale. I had the beef kabob. Suprisingly tender, but looks like it was slow roasted over a low flame. I picked up the mint flavored yogurt in a gallon and some dry rub barbecue spices.


1418 W. Beverly Blvd., Montebello, CA 90640

Taste of Brazil - June 2009

I had their Feijoada Completa at a Taste of Brazil with Brazilian cabernet cauvignon. Richer than simple black beans.


4838 S. Huntington Dr., Los Angeles, CA

Pho Pioneer - June 2009

I had the beef tripe pho as my post workout recovery meal.


17701 Pioneer Blvd, Artesia, CA

Rachada Thai Cuisine - June 2009

I had the Rachada BBQ combo. A very heavy dish and very sweet.

13416 E. Imperial Highway, Santa Fe Springs, CA

Toko Rame - June 2009

I had me first foodie Indonesian experience at Toko Rame. The sampling of the various dishes from the marinated fried eggs to the curries left me wanting to try more.

17155 Bellflower Blvd., Bell Flower, CA

Ambala Dhaba - June 2009

I had the lunch special at Ambala Dhaba. The dishes came on a tin cafeteria tray. The food was good.
