✨ LA’s Pretty Meal｜Bone Kettle

Weekend dinner at Bone Kettle in Pasadena with friends! 🍽️✨ Tried some popular dishes—here’s my real take. 🎤💬 🥢 Garlic Prawn First bite = mind-blown 🤯💥! Super fragrant with basil, garlic, shallots, and a hint of chili 🌿🧄🌶️—flavor layered like a boss 👑💯. But the shrimp is fried shell-on 🦐🔥. While crispy, it’s kinda tough to chew 😅. Not for texture-haters! ⚠️🍤💔 🥢 Noodles and Broth with Oxtail Meh. 😐🍜 The noodles clumped together like glue 🎭💢, and the broth had celery (my mortal enemy 🌿🚫). Oxtail tasted like vacuum-sealed braised beef 🥩📦—a bit tough. Friend liked it; I was underwhelmed. 🙅‍♀️ 🥢 Nasi Goreng Indonesian fried rice 🇮🇩🍚. We added garlic wagyu ribeye cap 🥩💫, but the beef had a funky aftertaste 🦨🤔 (thawing issue?). Rice itself was… fine. Not bad, not wow. Skip unless desperate. 🚶‍♀️ 💡 Heads-up: Service was slow 🐢⏳. If you’re in a rush, pack patience! Verdict: Cute vibe, some unique dishes, but hits and misses. 🎯❌✨ Garlic Prawn FTW—if you’re cool with shells! 🦐 📌 Bone Kettle 💰 Price: $$$ #LAfoodfinds #LAeats #vibedining #BoneKettle #SoutheastAsianEats #foodiereview #PasadenaEats #honestreview #foodadventures
