Here's what I'm looking forward to this weekend...

Rainbow Tacos
from Oh Thit! 
(F19) 

A lemongrass pork grilled to perfection with fresh cabbage,
onions, cilantro, topped with the special Oh Thit! sauce
on a warm corn tortilla.

I did get to sample the work-in-progress version
and THAT was good OR should I say "Thit!" was good!

I love tacos, this one had a nice kick with the flavorful pork.




20" Satay
(The longest satay at a Night Market)
from Aunty Merry 
(E07)

 Chicken, Angus Beef, and Chicken Curry satay available.

 I've had their satay and Indonesian corn at a previous 626
and was very good.  


 This week has been quite warm and just thought to check
the weather for this weekend in the San Gabriel Valley.
It's Gonna be a Hot One!

Here's some items to cool down 
with at this weekend's 626...



Our friends at Pop'D Up (E37)
have some great drinks and popsicles
to cool down on a warm evening.

You must checkout their Thai popsicle maker,
it's amazing how it works and yet such a simple concept.

A "Must Try" is the Thai tea with boba.  Also, fresh watermelon,
young coconut, and green tea popsicles.



Another product to cool down with this weekend is

My favorite flavor is the Lychee.
It reminds me of the lychee tree in 
my grandparents backyard in Hawaii.
Now you know the background story...

My friends at Fluff Ice always
have something cool and refreshing
and are a 626 favorite.

 My favorite is the peach fluff ice...


(This week was the Apple announcement
and the 3rd year of Steve Jobs' passing.
In his memory)

One more thing...

Ahi Tuna Poke Tacos
with Uni
at Mama Musubi 
(F2)
We added some sea urchin
on the last day of the August 626.
With such a large demand and direct messages,
we decided to do ahi poke tacos again
and offer them with UNI this time!
(See the dream sequence on Instagram HERE)

 It's great on a hot day...

 I guess dreams do come true at 626!
NOTE:  This is my collaboration with Mama Musubi

Sticking to What You Do Best...

Last week, I was invited to celebrate National Hamburger Day at The Counter in Studio City. I had been to The Counter before, but today was special and met a fellow tweeter who was a first timer. The menu is easy to follow and you actually build your own burger, well at least on paper. First you select the protein, then the cheese, other various toppings, a side sauce, and last is the type of bun you want. If you’re having a hard time deciding, don’t worry, they have signature burgers and sandwiches to choose from. Too many choices make me crazy sometimes. I get so confused when I see other restaurants trying to be everything to everyone. The food at these restaurants are usually horrible and thus end up closing. Would you be surprised if the pizza at a seafood restaurant wasn’t good? Doesn’t make sense to me. Attention Restaurant Owners: Pick something and do it really really well. In-n-Out hasn’t added anything to their menu in years and they’re still in business and GROWING! Being i

Hidden Little Tokyo: Cheap Eats

Image
I usually take the Metro Gold Line to Downtown Los Angeles.  Traffic is usually bad and then I have no idea where to park.  Although some of my friends who know I'm downtown a lot, think I know where all the places to park, this is why I take the Metro.  As I was heading into town on this trip, overheard 2 guys talking about only having $5 and wanting to get something to eat. I know there are places in Little Tokyo where you can get something to eat in the $5 range, here's what I've found: See What Jay Eats... Half California Roll and Half Spicy Tuna Roll (includes miso soup) $3.95 Little Tokyo Sushi This is a grab and go kiosk inside the Little Tokyo Market Place.  They have a variety of sushi combinations ranging in price from a $2.50 hand roll to $12+. Little Tokyo Sushi at the Little Tokyo Market Place (former Mitsuwa Marketplace) 333 S. Alameda St #100 Los Angeles, CA 90012 (213) 617-0343 Niku (Beef) Udon  $5.00

Recipe: Ahi Masago Poke - May 2012

Image
Where do you get good poke in Southern California? If there is a place, I haven't found it yet. I'm really picky when it comes to poke, so I make my own. Having competed in the Sam Choy Poke Festival on the Big Island in 2003, I got to try all kinds and some with imitation crab and tofu. But, I prefer the simple kine, like in my Ahi Poke recipe. Ahi Masago Poke This is my version of Alicia's Market "Wasabi Ahi Masago Poke" Alicia's Market is my first stop in Honolulu after I leave the airport. First Stop Honolulu: Alicia's Market Yellowfin Tuna I start with 1.5 lbs of chopped sashimi grade tuna My Ingredients Low Salt Soy Sauce White Sesame Oil I start with 4 TBS of soy sauce and 2 TBS of white sesame oil. As you mix in, the tuna will absorb the liquid, you can add more in later. Add in a sweet white onion and green onions The secret is washing the onions with water a
