Food diary is back — and packed with delicious finds! ✨ 🇹🇭 Otus Thai Kitchen & Coffee (WeHo) Loved their brunch vibe — but dinner’s just as good! 🥩 Happy Tiger Steak – tender and flavorful 🥗 Papaya Salad – fresh and zesty 🍲 Tom Yum Soup – tangy and appetizing 🍜 Pad Thai – solid and satisfying 🌿 Cozy, aesthetic interior — great for photos! 🥘 Taste of Chaoshan Finally, a legit Chaoshan beef hot pot! 🐂✨ Better than Chao Xiang (imo 😉) Cuts like吊龙 (dragon cut) and (shank) are freshly sliced, tender after a quick boil. 🥔 Potato Cake – tasty but a bit oily. 🇮🇹 Maccheroni Republic (DTLA) A humble but authentic pasta spot — don’t miss this! 🖤🤍 Black & White Cream Shrimp Pasta – WOK HEI ALERT! So fragrant, each strand coated in rich sauce… life-changing 😭🍝 🧀 Jincook Comfort food heaven! 🧀🍠 Pulled Cheese & Sweet Potato Pork Cutlet + Curry Rice – sizzling hot stone pot = pure joy ⚠️ Sun Nong Dan-style rib pot was just okay — too sweet, and the rice cakes stuck to the pot. 🍲 Hanbat Shul Lung Tang Perfect for a rainy day — warm, comforting beef soup ❤️ Simple spot, limited menu. We chose beef brisket — rich, milky, soul-warming broth. #LAEats #FoodDiaryIsBack #ThaiInWeHo #ChaoshanHotpot #PastaLover #KoreanComfort
