thus, count down chicken fusilli
the opposite of a fun space mountain adventure
a load of crazy bland undercooked pasta

ok get ready for some crappy photos
sorries :(

shin-sen-gumi hakata ramen in gardena
my brother and dad raved about this place
but i thought the ramen was whatever!
to be fair tho
i'm not a big fan of ramen in general
it's almost always too salty for me
also they all seem to taste the same to me
the best part of this bowl was the tea egg
which was bomb lol

california vegan on santa monica blvd
VEGAN THAI!!
however :(
golden tofu was bland and bleh
not hot either

spring rolls are called "fresh rolls"
not bad but not very flavorful at all

banana spring rolls!!
w/ shredded coconut and soy ice cream
best part of this meal for sure
no photos but we had yellow curry w/ soy chicken
curry was kind of weak
and texture of the "chicken" was icky
time before this i had the spicy eggplant lunch special
which was WAY better
i say stick w/ the veggies
and avoid the soy "meats"

chabuya tokyo noodle bar
now one of my favorite lunch places
mini rice bowl w/ shrimp

again, shitty photo sorries :(
steak, strawberries, fried onions, mascarpone, avocado
SO DELICIOUS

father's office in culver city
cheese plate w/ quince honey & walnuts
the bartender recommended it
and said it would be amazing
it was a bit intense for me tho
i expected more variety in terms of mild - strong
or at least in terms of flavor? saltiness? aroma?
probably would not order it again
the woodchuck cider did help tho
THAT was delicious
