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

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.

Wurstkuche - Downtown

downtown LA  

It was back in October, 2011. I came here with Ching and NuttyNomads. There were line as always. We probably waited about 15 minutes. We shared two hot dogs and fries. The total came to around $18 (plus drinks). Yes, they are overpriced but I like the dogs. Also good selection of beers and non alcohol drinks. Also I wish they had more individual tables. I'm not really comfortable sharing one long table with others.

So many to choose from. They have classic, gormet, and even vegetarian.

Beer

I think we got Mango Jalapeno $6.5 and Rabbit, Veal & Pork $7.5

Papi's Pizzeria - Downtown

Papi's Pizzeria - Downtown

downtown LA  

I had Scoutmob 50% off so I stopped by here. Since I really didn't wanna get a whole pizza (it's too much just for myself),  I came here to just get some slices. Unfortunately, they only had pepperoni and cheese. They said they usually have more to choose from but because it's been very slow, they only had two types of pizzas. Oh well.. Since I don't like cheese, the only choice was pepperoni, and pepperoni is also not my choice at pizza places. But I gave a try anyway since I was there.

Regular price is $3 plus tax $3.26. After 50% off, it was $2. Now I'm not really sure why it was $2 though but whatever,.

I actually enjoyed my pepperoni pizza. It's thin crust, lots of big pepperoni and some basil on top. And yes, it was cheesy so I had to take off some cheese. Yeah.. I know I'm crazy. But I didn't grow up eating cheese, so I really can't eat that smelly cheese.
