Papaya King Hollywood is scheduled to open in mid 2011 to one of Hollywood’s world-famous intersections at Hollywood Blvd. and Wilcox Ave. To learn more about Papaya King visit www.PapayaKing.com.
Widely considered New York’s best hot dog for nearly 80 years, Papaya King is known for inventing the magical combination of tropical drinks and freshly grilled franks using only the highest quality natural ingredients. From ‘the Original’ combo of two franks and a papaya drink to specialty franks like the ‘Side on Top,’ Papaya King’s menu has developed a loyal following from food critics and celebrities to every day New Yorkers and visitors from around the globe.
About a month ago, Bosco bakery opened inside Koreatown Plaza. Freshly baked pastries everyday with some free samples. They have good varieties of pastries, cakes, chocolate, sandwiches, ice pops, coffee drinks and shaved ice. Also there is a sitting area.
I tried tiramisu cake at Kickboxing class (because I took a class on Randy Kim's birthday), and it was very good.
chocolate
Salad bread $2.50
The bun was a little too greasy, because it's deep fried, but it tastes good.
French Toast $1
Yummy french toast
Chestnut tart $4
I think this is croissant with sweet potato inside $2, flaky and delicious. One of my favorite.
Melon spinach castella with butter cream $4
drink menu
strawberry lemonade $3.75, Iced green tea $3, vanilla and coffee ice pops
Ice pops are very good. You can see real vanilla beans in vanilla ice pop.
One of the signature drink here. They use real strawberries. Yum.

After I had a dinner at Yuchun restaurant in the same mall, I saw this hidden coffee place. I never knew there is a coffee shop. This place is not on yelp or urbanspoon, and nobody mentioned before.
Little sitting area, warm atmosphere, I like that. The workers were very nice. There were two young Korean guys were sitting on the sofa, but after I placed my latte, they encouraged me to sit down while I was waiting for my latte. That was sweet.
The drinks menu are very common, but the prices are lower compared to other Koreatown cafes.
Green tea latte $4.25
Unfortunately, this green tea latte wasn't the best I've had, but still good.

I've been to all you can eat Brazilian BBQ only once before, and I had such a bad experience. Since then, I avoided Brazilian buffet. Well, M Grill was my second time Brazilian BBQ and I am very happy that I was invited. The service was great, the workers and the owner were very nice and friendly, also the food was tasty. All their pineapple were juicy and sweet. I liked my cocktail, grilled pineapple, and pineapple from salad bar. I really enjoyed dining here. Don't think Koreatown is only for Korean food.
