Blocks of Food at KTown Night Market - October 2014



The Last Night Market of the Season!

The KTown Night Market 
organizers presents the
Halloween Food Fest

October 25 & 26, 2014


My post of the first KTown Night Market in April 2014
HERE

6th Street was closed to traffic in KTown.

 Over 70 vendors lined the street
between Mariposa Ave and Berendo St.

 The Ultra-Popular Original Ramen Burger was in attendance.
They're so popular, they even had a line before
the event opened!
OK, so it was the Original Ramen Burger crew
in their new red shirts...

See What Jay Eats...
Just a few things I had

 I stopped by the Chilly Ribbons' ski chalet
to try their latest flavor,
Red Bean.

You can see the red bean pieces...

Now ready to go
with red beans, mochi, and almonds.

It was sweet without being sweet
and had a nice flavor. 

Now that the night market season
is over, I guess I'll have to get out to
their store in Westwood.

I tried the Sweet Mixed Grain Smoothie

It's made from different grains, tasted like
barley tea.  It then hit me, barley is a grain...Duh!
I enjoyed it very much, without being too sweet.

Besides grilled chicken skewers,
they introduced Niku Maki

from Shin-Sen-Gumi

Pork wrapped around a rice ball.

It was good, but the rice
was a bit too wet with sauce.
IMO needed more of a char on the outside.
Otherwise something new.
Yes, had to stop at the Lobsta Truck
for a crab roll with butter.

Nuff said...

Jinya Ramen
brought their Spicy Ramen.

I thought it needed a bit more heat if you're
going to call it spicy.
It wasn't a bad first time dish tho. 


I seem to attract new products...

Met the Toki Hot Sauce guys
at the night market.
They gave me some samples of their new hot sauce.

The sauce is a bit sweet
with a kick at the end.



It was a nice end to the 2014 Night Market Season.

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...

Coco Bread Sandwich with Jerk Chicken

Image
Who Doesn't Like Jerk Chicken??? OK, I'm Sure There Are Some, A Few, One, Maybe Two... This is Maybe My  Favorite  Sandwich! At least the one I think about when wanting  a great 'Sandwich'  comes to mind. Chef Yonette serves this sandwich as an every so often special at her restaurant, Caribbean Gourmet in San Gabriel, CA. The sandwich consists of Jerk Chicken and a Slaw for texture and balance on a house-made Coco Bread, a buttery soft circular flat bread (aka "Butter Flap" in Guyana) Like most awesome sandwiches, it's the bread that makes it great. As I pick-up my sandwich on Sandwich Saturday. Whenever I pick up pastries or patties from Caribbean Gourmet, it's very hard to make it home. Smelling the Jerk Chicken... See What Jay Eats... Yup, I caved and it didn't make it home... Follow Caribbean Gourmet's IG account and Stories for the next Jerk Chicken Sandwich Special Saturday. @caribbeangourmet On sandwich day, be sure to be there at Noon,...

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...
