La Tropézienne Bakery - Los Angeles

La Tropézienne Bakery - Los Angeles

los angeles  

This is one of my new favorite place to go for pastries. They use good quality butter and creams. You can actually see them making pastries there. And they were so friendly that makes me wanna go back. They are known for Tropezienne and that's the name of this place. So if you are not sure what to get here, get Tropezienne. They have regular size and small size. They also recommended Paris Brest. Also I personally recommend croissant/danish here.

Chouquettes - It's puff pastry without cream inside. Light and puffy

Berry danish $5 and Pistachio eclair tropeziene $3

There's custard

And there's lots of berry cream inside

Nong La Vietnamese cafe has two locations in Los Angeles. I came here for the first time for tasting event. If you don't know what to get, I'd say get noodles. 

Cafe Sua - Iced Vietnamese coffee $4
Che Ba Mau - Red beans, mung beans, water chestnut flour, simple syrup, coconut cream $4.75
Soda Chanh - Fresh squeezed sparkling lemonade $3.5

Bun bo Hue $12.25 - Lemongrass spicy beef soup with vermicelli noodles, pork patty and beef shank, topped with white onions, green onions, and cilantro.

This is one of the most popular item on the menu

Nem Nuong Cuon (pork rolls) $6.95- Rice paper rolled with grilld pork patty (spam), crispy roll, lettuce and fresh herbs.

Hen Xuc Banh Da Me (clam salad with black sesame cracker) $9.95 - Baby clams with green mangoes, white onions, chili flakes and mint topped with peanuts, shallots, cilantro with a fresh sauce vinaigrette.

This salad was probably our favorite dish

Bo Nuong Banh Mi (Grilled lemongrass & sesame steak Banh mi) $8.50 - Served with house mayo, pickled carrots/daikon, cilantro and jalapenos.

This Banh Mi was little disappointed, because they just used house mayo instead of making pate. Also bread was little tough.

Bo Nuong Com (Grilled lemongrass & sesame steak $11.50 + fried egg $1.50) - Jasmine rice served with a side of cucumber, pickled carrots/daikon and fish sauce

Dac Biet $12.25 - Rare filet mignon, brisket, tripe & beef balls

La Brea Bakery - Los Angeles

la brea  

La Brea bakery just opened up new location, just down the street from old location. Compared with old location, this new location was so much bigger and the workers were so friendly. Cashier was really slow, it seems like they are still learning.
