Boba 7 - Downtown, L.A.

downtown LA  

New hidden boba place in Downtown! It's located inside Soi 7. Just walk in, keep going straight back.
They have yelp check-in special, it's $1 off. Sweet.

I like this place because they have some unique boba drinks such as alcoholic boba drink, horchata with honey boba, and green apple green tea.Yogurt soju and boba? I never thought about it. I've gotta try that.

menu

Horchata with honey boba $4 and taro mochi bun $1.50. I used $1 off so the total was $4.50.

Taro mochi bun is from flour + tea in Pasadena. Flour + Tea is one of the place I've been wanting to go since their opening day, but I never got a chance to go but now, I can get in DTLA!

Coolhaus fried chicken and waffles ice cream sandwich

Coolhaus fried chicken and waffles ice cream sandwich

food truck  

Well, it's been really hot in L.A. and I saw Coolhaus truck! How can I say "no" to it!? I haven't had their sammies for so long. I saw the menu, I saw something I want, so I waited in line about 5 minutes, and I got my sammie! I couldn't decide between vegan carrot cake cookie and hotcake. I got hotcake but why didn't I get both? Damn.. And for the ice cream, I also couldn't make my mind between "chicken and waffles" and "beer and pretzel". I sampled both. Still wasn't sure because I liked both. Well, I got chicken and waffles because I thought that's more interesting.

Caffe Bene - Koreatown

koreatown  

Yay! Another new cafe in Koreatown. I like the ambiance of the cafe. I was hoping they had more desserts but all they have is overpriced waffles, thick toast, and some cakes.Although I do wanna try Fig jam & almond waffle next time.

I was looking at the menu and I really wanted to try Misugaru frappe because it look so yummy in the picture, so I ordered Cranberry Almond frappe. In the picture of the frappes, there are almonds and cranberries on top of the frappe but I guess that was just for the advertisement, since my frappe didn't have it. I was fooled by the picture.

Also I know it's so hard to find the parking in Koreatown.Yeah, it's almost impossible to find street parking or free parking. Well, just don't tell anyone, (whispering) just park at the CGV cinema. It's free.

Cranberry Almond Misugaru frappe (S) $4.95 and smoothie and ice cream

Strawberry & cream waffle $5.95

Caramel banana waffle $5.95

Banana pastry $1.60 from Paris Baguette
I didn't see anything I wanted at the moment, so I went to Paris Baguette next door, and I got this pastry. It was delicious and cheap.

Ice Up Shaved Ice - Koreatown

Ice Up Shaved Ice - Koreatown

koreatown  

New shaved ice place opened in Koreatown. Although I don't come here for shaved ice. I come here for their "Valencia". It's yummy and cheap ice cream sammy.

For Harmony Ice, Valencia, and Ice puff, you pick the flavor, then you pick ice cream, then choose up to 3 toppings. You make your own combination so you can always try somethings new. I was here again today, I was gonna try Harmony Ice or Ice Puff because I wanted to try, but I ended up eating Valencia.. again.

menu

These are for Harmony Ice.

And they are for Valencia. It look like cookie but it's more like spongy meringue or something. It's sticky and soft. Some of you may not like it.

Blueberry Valencia with green tea ice cream + 3 toppings: mochi, red bean, cheesecake $2.50

Green tea Valencia with coffee ice cream + 3 toppings: red bean, mochi, mango $2.50

Ink Sack - West Hollywood

west hollywood  

Aug 9,2012, Ink Sack had their 1 year anniversary and they were giving away free cold fried chicken sandwich with purchase. When I got here, there were only one other customer. Lucky me, I didn't have to wait in line at all.

menu.

Cold fried chicken (left) $4 and The Jose Andres, aka " The Spanish godfather" $6

Cold fried chicken sandwich with no cheese. I really loved this tasty sandwich. It was basically like chicken katsu (cutlet) sandwich.

The Jose Andres, aka " The Spanish godfather"

The sandwich was different from what I thought. I thought it's gonna be chorizo sausage (like sausage, not sliced deli meat) and serrano ham. Well, the sandwich was good, but not really what I wanted. I wish I got tuna sandwich instead..

Well, I had to do this because I've read many people talking how their sandwiches are small.
