🥥🍹🍻🍛🍖Had the nicest dinner @simpangasia #palms and everything was so good got a few of our favs and tried somethings that quickly became our new favs 😉😍
Started with drinks — the Es Cendol (our favorite, so refreshing) + a beer 🍺
Roti Paratha (flaky, buttery, dipped in curry… sooo good) Martabak Telor new for us and I can’t believe we never had it before (savory, crispy, that sweet chili sauce 👌)
We shared everything (best way to do it): Char Kway Teow — smoky noodles with all the good stuff Nasi Goreng Jawa — a little spicy, super comforting Kalio Chicken Curry + coconut rice — rich, flavorful, honestly could eat this again right now.
And our go to The #8 Nasi Bungkus
Tradition in one wrap. Chicken curry, beef rendang, sambal egg, vegetable curry, and rice wrapped in banana leaves 🤤 a must get !!
Ended with both desserts because we had to: Martabak Manis — sweet pancakes chocolate & nutty & Black Rice Pudding — warm, creamy, and my favorite of the two
Everything was full of flavor — w/ so many good spices. Definitely one of those meals you keep thinking about after ❤️ #lagoodie #piggiegiveaway #simpangasia @piggie_la Less

For oyster lovers, this Thursday is the night.

It’s the next @chefsbrigadenola OysterNight, with 90+ restaurants, bars, and taprooms taking part.

Each will have specialty oyster dishes for the night from an oysters Rockefeller pizza at @reginellispizzeria to many raw on the half shell.

Look for numerous pop-up raw bars, and a number places where you can sample different oysters from multiple off-bottom cultivated producers in Louisiana side by side.

Some are making a party out of it, like @bourbonhousenola (pictured, photo by @cgranger ) and @pascals.manale with a happy hour oyster pricing all night.

Spent shells go to the @crcl1988 recycling program to rebuild reefs and protect the coast.

Link in my bio has the preview and backstory and a link to a map of all the participants so you can chart out your own oyster crawl

@mrshrimp504 built his name by turning up at customers’ doors with orders of fresh seafood.

During the dark days of the pandemic, his deliveries were a bright spot for many. The food was delicious; the bounce of his personality was uplifting.

Now the customers come to his door, and it’s a new one with a restaurant location in Marrero — 5100 Lapalco Blvd.

This counter service restaurant is centered on boiled seafood, and crawfish are the star item right now.

Mr. Shrimp’s own branded boil mix, dubbed “Throw It in the Pot,” brings a robust spice without being spicy hot. The spice accentuates the sweet-savory balance of the shellfish itself.

There’s a lot more on the menu now — here’s th crab claws, salmon bites and redfish royale over crabcakes.

And late hours too, open til midnight Friday and Saturday

Here’s a quick look, link in my bio has the full read

I’m going to keep this short & sweet — @saoha.khaosoi has to be on your list for some of the best Northern Thai food in LA. Their new Studio City spot is worth the drive.
We went for lunch and started with the Butterfly lemonade, Pink milk drink, Thai tea, papaya salad, and chicken satay with the creamiest peanut sauce + refreshing cucumber relish. We also tried their pork jerky with Nam Jim Jaew dipping sauce for the first time ever and immediately understood why people love it — so much flavor and one of our favorite bites of the meal.
Their signature Crispy Chicken Khao Soi is a must with the rich coconut curry broth, egg noodles, and crispy chicken cooked perfectly. And if you want to treat yourself, order the Golden Surf & Turf with torched Japanese A5 Wagyu and seared Hokkaido scallops because WOW.
🥭 Don’t leave without getting the mango sticky rice either. The mango was unbelievably fresh and sweet, and paired with the coconut sauce, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream… perfection. Already planning our next visit 🫶 #lafoodie #saohakhaosoi Less

Razor clams! Prepared two ways at @dolfys_nola — with miso and a jamón XO sauce.

Get them while you can (and also watch @barsukeban for similar appearances, the only other place I see razors on any kind of regular).

More from Dolfy’s, the new Basque-style restaurant on Freret: chips with jamon and Ibérico pork skewers with ramp pesto.

FAMILY DINNER @enzospizzeria_ 🍕🇮🇹
One of our favorite family dinner spots in Westwood is Enzo’s because there truly is something for everyone on the menu. From giant pizzas to classic Italian comfort food, nobody leaves hungry.
The kids are obsessed with their HUGE New York-style pizzas—the bigger, the better! They’re perfect for feeding a crowd, birthday parties, game days, and honestly, the leftovers are just as good the next day.
We started with the Caesar salad and garlic knots, which is always the perfect combo. Then came my favorite: the Baked Ziti. Tender pasta tossed in marinara, layered with mozzarella and ricotta, and baked until bubbly and golden. The sauce clings to every bite of pasta perfectly, making it the ultimate comfort food.
We also had to order their Chicken Parm Sandwich, a fan favorite for good reason, and their Large Sausage Calzone. Stuffed with melty cheese and savory fillings, the crust is one of my favorite parts—soft, flaky, and baked to golden perfection. The ricotta inside makes every bite even better.
And of course, no Italian feast is complete without dessert. Their tiramisu was the perfect ending to the meal, with layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers, rich mascarpone cream, and a dusting of cocoa that melts in your mouth.
A delicious meal, plenty of leftovers, and happy kids = the perfect family dinner night. ❤️🍕 #WestwoodEats #LAFoodie @piggie_la #enzospizzeria Less

Boston, we did it. We got a place that is not only amazing value for money but also incredibly delicious, and has friendly and fast service.

Korean friends have DMed me saying @sanbada.allston tastes like home. Here’s how it works: pick your entrée ($24–30), and everything else comes with it — banchan, soup, rice, and dessert. For that price, it’s one of the best deals in Boston right now.

TRY THE FRIED EGGPLANT 🍆🍆🍆

Yes, there’s a wait. I waited 35 minutes and walked away with a free beer. Wait over an hour? They comp you an entire entrée. A restaurant that respects your time enough to pay you back for it — that’s rare.

The banchan spread is the experience. You keep going back to your favorites, discovering new ones, building the perfect bite. Then free ice cream at the end because why not.

Have you been — does this match your experience? 👇

Boston’s only Michelin-starred restaurant.
A reservation I waited months for.
And one of the highest scores I’ve ever given.

But was it actually worth the hype… and the price tag? 👀🍣

This is Episode 11 of the series where I tested Boston’s top ranked sushi to figure out who has the best considering flavors, quality, technique and price.
