Menu Moliere: Maison Akira's Foie Gras Menu of Joy
For the month of April, Chef Akira (of Maison Akira fame) decided to create a themed dinner he endearingly called, "Menu Moliere", assumedly after the satirical French playwright. Each month was to have a theme, like an Iron Chef competition's secret ingredient, only he only competes with himself. The result is that Chef Akira ups his own ante and produces even more divergent and unique combinations of flavor than ever before!And...
Duck House - Stay for the Peking Duck (but Not Much Else)
While most of us only know "Peking Duck" from what we get from those Chinese BBQ places with ducks hanging in the window, apparently most of us haven't gotten the TRUE peking duck experience. According to experts, only a few locations in LA actually make Peking duck the true way, blowing air into the duck between the flesh and the skin, stretching the skin and separating it from the flesh to allow for separate cooking. Tender...
Indigo Grill - San Diego's Gem in Little Italy
For Girls Weekend in San Diego, the girls and I went to Indigo Grill, mostly because one of us knew the owner (always nice when you have a connection). While this place was Mexican-inspired, it also touted inspirations from the entire Pacific Southwest and Pacific shore. What we ended up getting was Mexican-based food, with fresh seafood and some fusion elements to some of the dishes.The starter was one dish, big enough for four...

Sushi Nozawa: Sushi Nazi!!!
This is the best sushi D and I have ever had. EVER. Both of us COMBINED probably wasn't this good.Thank God for Fridays during Lent. Forced to abstain from meat got us thinking about what fishy dishes we'd try each Friday of Lent. We'd come up with some pretty good ideas, between Popeye's shrimp basket to Mario's Peruvian ceviche and grilled fish. This last Friday, I was craving sushi.The truth is, my friends and I used to make...
Gyu-Kaku: Hollywood, LA
Last night D and I went to Gyu-Kaku, which was my first time there. While we went to the Sherman Oaks location, it was still ominously "L.A.", ultra-trendy, crowded, and borderline pretentious crowd. Despite this, we were seated in half an hour (ugh) and we ordered from the happy hour menu, which was heinously cheap. And while there were some really good dishes (try the Bistro Harami), it was hardly...
The Bazaar: Bizarrely Mediocre
The Bazaar wasn't very bizarre. In a sense, it almost seemed... disappointing.D and I were totally excited about our date night, sometimes upscale, sometimes low-key, and yesterday, it was dressed to the nines and wining and dining. Maybe that set our expectations high. Maybe it was because E described this place as Heaven coming down in the form of food. Or maybe it was just because I was so hungry. But all in all, we were wildly...
