Ok the picture are finally all uploaded. I took a lot...a lot. If you wanna see them raw (i.e no context) you can check them out
on my Flickr.
I will post the other really important part of my trip though: The food porn. Yes, I'm a huge foodie.
So the first day (Monday 10/14), we had
thai food and In N Out. Day two (Tuesday 10/15)? We step up the eating game. I try sangak for brunch, Blockheads Ice cream for afternon snack, and home style Japanese food for dinner! And? Sheraton snipes the dinner bill with the most baller of moves. Apparently he's got an Originative business credit card? Yeah, truly #legitballin. Check this out:
This incredible oven makes...
This Iranian flat bread called sangak! It's like naan but way chewier and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Me and Ming ate SO MUCH of it.
If you know me, you know I love ice cream. Ming takes me to this place called Blockheads where they do snowcream. So its like shaved Hawaiian ice but instead of ice, they freeze blocks of ice cream. It had this crazy creamy but light texture and the ice cream flavors were so Asian.
My black sesame sundae with Oreos, condensed milk, and rice cakes
My eaten sundae next to Kawa's green tea ice cream sundae that had red beands, condensed milk, and rice cakes
Dinner time!
Lotus root, tastes like a meaty potato
Japanese style fried chicken
Miso soup
Fresh tofu
My soba with a duck and scallion dipping soup
Ming got soba with tempura
Sherry and demik got Oyakodon, which is a rice dish with soft scrambled eggs and chicken and soy sauce
And mother****in' boba! I got matcha green milk tea with boba.
Wednesday (10/16), I find myself alone for a few hours as Ming drives dorkvader from the airport to the car. That's ok! I find
real ramen to eat
. It also had the best condiment dispenser I've ever seen:
LOL. It sprinkled sesame seeds
But dinner was...KOREAN BARBEQUE. I'm a bit tired so the names of the dishes are eluding me at the moment but here we go:
BANCHAN. That spread kid.
The grill. And in the corner, was the salad that Demik couldn't get enough of.
Beef brisket!
Beef short rib and shrimp!
Omelette with leeks and seafood
Sweet potato noodles stir fried with veggies
Spicy tofu soup with rice
Thursday morning we went to a cafe in LA before we start driving. Ming got a cheese pastry and this raspberry pastry thing. I got an apple strudel and a ham on baguette sandwich. Dorkvader got this amazing quiche.
Raspberry pastry
Ham sammich
Next time we eat well was Friday. Jdcarpe took us to this Tex-Mex place and I got Beef Tongue tacos. Holy **** those were good. And we had hibachi for dinner. I had steak and so did tjcaustin. Dorkvader got scallops. Good food, ****ty service.
Last meal we had that was amazing was Saturday (no counting Chick Fil A, my favorite fast food) when we had this feast at mashby's:
I saw fire and ran outside!
This insane pork chop that had loin, pork belly, and rib on it. Roasted asparagus and potato on the side. Vanilla and butterscotch sundaes for dessert.
Guys seriously, we *always* eat this good at meetups. Come for the keyboards, stay for the food.
