Sweet Butter Toast

Hmm…food, travel, books, and just random stuff that I like.

We had a girls day outing today in the South Bay where it was nice and cool. It was great to leave the hot and humid 90 degree weather of the San Gabriel Valley and hang out near (not on) the beach. Dana, Grace, Lena and I watched an afternoon showing of Moonrise Kingdom, which was very good and then had dinner at MB Post. I’ve only had brunch here once so I was excited to finally try their dinner menu.

bacon cheddar buttermilk biscuit (w/maple butter) & fleur de sel pretzel

fee fi fo fum fries

soft shell blue crab lettuce wrap

roasted brussels sprouts (w/emmental, hazelnuts, sage)

asparagus and poached jidori egg

skirt steak w/ grilled broccolini & red chimichurri

vietnamese caramel pork jowl on papaya salad

steamed mussels w/ green curry, Chinese sausage, and rice

I just oh so love the bacon cheddar biscuit. The only thing that I didn’t like was the sausage in the green curry and the papaya salad (too much fish sauce). Actually I’m a little offended that there was Chinese sausage in the green curry. It’s just…wrong.

Last night I had a delicious dinner at Green Street Tavern with Alina, Nahae and Lena. We learned from our last dining experience at the Hungry Cat and ordered just enough to share. We cleared out all the food. Had our parents been with us, they would have patted us on the backs and said “we raised you girls right”. Oh wait…I think there may have been some couscous left on one of the plates.

Lobster Ravioli

Lamb Tagine

Saturday I had brunch with Mag, Phyllis, Tina and little Cadence (my favorite 4 year old) at Manhattan Beach Post. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was casual trendy which is my favorite restaurant combo (and should be yours too). Now I’m totally love in with the bacon cheddar biscuit and the truffle honey laced fried chicken. Note to self – must come back for dinner in the near future.

The Hungry Cat. Mint lemonade. Three tier seafood platter. Inappropriate food discussions. Lots of laughter.

Where is the uni? I don’t know.

Nothing like a little Sunday afternoon BBQ followed by a cup of super unhealthy boba drink. Thanks Peian!

I love onion rings! Do you love onion rings?
