626 Night Market - July 22-24, 2016


It's that time again, the 626 Night Market
on home turf at Santa Anita Park!

 WAIT, Weren't we just here?
Yes, July 4th weekend.

But who's counting, right?


July 22-24th Weekend in Arcadia!

See What Jay Eats...

 The "Rainbow Roe~D"
from Cup Town BBQ

With roe, pickled radish, and seaweed salad over rice.
(and it wasn't a poke bowl)

Great on a hot day!


 It's me, so you know I had to have tacos.

The pork belly tacos from Rakken Tacos.


It was Fryday, so had to have some
Okamoto Kitchen's Japanese Fried Chicken
or
"Karaage Chicken" Classic Style.


Needing something to drink now,
what should I have?
THEN, the light bulb went off
and I knew what I wanted to get!

A strawberry slush in a light bulb
from Squidies.


BBQ Chicken Pizza Fries

I love BBQ Chicken Pizza
and then to put it on fries, so good.


BUT Wait, there's more...
Lobster Mac n Cheese
with all of the fixins'

Who doesn't love lobster AND mac-n-cheese???


As Steve Jobs would say, there's one more thing...
The Cinnamalicious!
An ice cream cinnamon bun
with (we opted for vanilla) ice cream.

A cinnamon bun with ice cream inside
and a great finish to this OK Korokkay stop.

BTW, my nieces love their Chicken Pot Pie Croquettes.


 Needed a craft soda from Pop'd Up

Nice new jars too...


A Churro Ice Cream Sundae

If you remember my last 626 Night Market visit 
on July 4th weekend, got to try their 
"Winner Winner" fried chicken churro sandwich.
See HERE


Garlic Crab Fries

Yup, after all of this food,
stick a fork in me, I'm almost done,
ALMOST!


Ice Cream Cake


And while you're at Layers on Layers,
get one of their Gummy Bear drinks,
it comes in a bear bottle too.


A KBBQ Burger from Glee Donuts & Burgers

It was a really good Korean BBQ burger
to end off the night.


It's like an adult size Capri Sun


And this is just Day 1!
Day 2 and I'm hungry!
Thanks to Ken, I was introduced
to Huarache King, Authentic Mexican Food with a Twist.

This was my first time here and wasn't a disappointment.
The Carne Asada Huarache
with beans, steak, queso fresco,
green sauce, and cilantro

Soooo Gooood!!!


The "Pinkolo"
A Pink Pandan with Dragon Fruit, Passion Fruit,
Strawberry, and Apple liquid nitrogen ice cream

If you like Pandan, you'll like this flavor.


When I have ice cream, I need something
salty, and in this case, garlicky.
Garlic Fries from Glee Donuts & Burgers.

Great garlic flavor and who doesn't
like fries???


Just part of Day 2!

 Sorry, no Day 3.
I actually had to work...

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
