Hey you (yeah, all 3 of you’z),
Please feel free to make some silky sweet LOVE to your mouth c/o the dineLA CITRUS SESAME SILKY TOFU cause YOU deserve it! (at least most of you do.. but we’re not judging LOL ;D)
Avail at both lunchie-munchies and (Thurs+Fri night) Din-Dins til Feb 3rd- just in case you needed that additional plug and were wondering, “hmmmm SK, but WHEN can I eat it?!?!” See, we’re thoughtful.. well at least some of the time.
Xoxo,

dineLA.. @dine_LA ..DINE LA!! (actually begins next week, Jan 23rd to Feb 3rd… but why not get excited now, right??)
(Pssssst- we WILL be serving this menu at Dinner too during dineLA, and please don’t be alarmed if you see dinner listed somewhere else online @ $28 since our food is not THAT expensive. Our Din-Dins dineLA menu will remain at $16+tax! ^_^)
So while you’re enjoying your Japanese Garlic Noodles, VIET MINCED BEEF-LICIOUSNESS & the now eternally served (aka FOREVER) CRISPY TOFU BALLS for a lil lunchie-munchies this week, why not consider SK’s 4th run at dineLA Restaurant week conveniently startin’ next week folks (with all sorts of seemingly clever verbosity and pretty pictures below ;D).
And if you don’t know, the way it works is:
Voila.. you gots a MEAL! (ok, enough jibba-jabba, onto more pictures “foo!” haha)
APPETIZERS!
Have you ever yearned for that delectably delicate dish you just wanna share with someone special while listening to some smooooooth love songs (you know which station I’m talkin’ about y’all!), well look no further because this just might be that one for you. OH YES! It’s so silky smooth with a lil citrus zest “here,” a lil sesame leaf puree “there” to satiate your appetite before the possibility of “you making love.. outta nothing at all” (we’re just sayin’ ;D)
A classically delicious Chinese dish w/ hand-wrapped wontons (oh yeah, we do that) filled w/ sake+sesame marinated ground pork in cute lil wonton morsels pleasantly swimming in a lightly sweet+spicy+f’ing SAVORY (but simply) delicious chili oil mixture. It’s a classic for a reason (i.e. it’s frickin’ GOOD.. and like wonton-CRACK!)
Unlike the (kinda crappy) cabbage eggrolls most of America has gotten used to from the “A,B, and/or C “variety of take-out Chinese across the US, Vietnamese Eggrolls pack a LOT of punch and FLAVA! Inside each lil roll we have: ground pork, ground shrimp, taro, carrots, vermicelli, cilantro, mushrooms and then marinated+seasoned. (now it sounds like an SNL commercial) Then it’s served w/ fresh BUTTER lettuce (thems the “good stuff”), mint & pickled carrots+daikon to wrap with, and the obligatory housemade Vietnamese fish/dipping sauce FTW (aka “for the win”)
ENTREES (O’LE!)
OK, it’s not an actual traditional Burmese dish (and let’s also forget that “technically” Burma is now Myanmar, but who cares ‘cause it’s still another home of Asian deliciousness!) The Kitchen Ninja decided to take the Burmese flavors she’s super in love with (galangal/young ginger, kaffir leaves, coco milk) and combine them into a flavor super power w/ her ultimate culinary love+obsession: CHICKEN WAAAAANGS! And whatchu get you ask: frickin’ “finger lickin” flavor. (which is all we really want from our food, right?? ^_^)
You want flavor? We GOTS yo’ flavor right here in a minced Angus (yup, I said Angus) beef chuck smothered in all sorts of “secret” ingredients *cough* lemongrass, Thai chilis, Viet Nuoc Mam/fish sauce & curry *cough* topped w/ cucumbers, chopped mint, crispy ass fried shallots and then finally topped w/… BAM an ooze-licious FRIED EGG FTMFW (you know what’s up y’all!)
We take our favorite unusual, green & un-sweet exotic fruit and braise that mo’fo in a super savory combo of soy sauce, rice vinegar and Coca Cola to make a “meaty” Vegan dish unlike any other (and yes, it’s VEGAN+tasty!)
DESSERTSIES
One of more well known Asian fruits out there enjoyed by all.. or at least most (but did you know eating 9 Lychees would meet an adult’s daily recommended Vitamin C requirement.. it’s on Wikipedia and it’s true we tell ya!) We take the strong sacchrine sweetness of the Lychee, make a nifty Panna Cotta w/ that sucka and then top it w/ a little salty-sweetness to CUT (“hiYA”) that powerful lychee for some tantalizing tastebud bliss (because all our tastebuds deserve tantalizing bliss from time-to-time ;D)
If coconuts could consumate their perfectly delicious relationship w/ the aromatic+green pandan leaf (definition below if you dunno what pandan is ^_^) while on holiday in let’s say…ITALY, we’d like to think THIS twist on the classic italian cream dessert could happen (with a lil bit of South-east Asian fruit on top for good measure too of course)… and now with (Meyer’s) RUM Banana Jam.. “HUZZAH!”
Pandan is like the South East Asian version of vanilla, and we take the extract of the leaf to make our very own flan that we make creamier (i.e. less “egg-y”) and slightly more aromatic resulting in complete green deliciousness (that’s o’ so SMOOTH!)
And there you have it. For the lone person that has actually read this far… HOORAY! You get a gold star (or at least a breath mint if we have any left by the time you stop by).
See ya in soon.
Xoxo,

Last week for @dine_LA -liciousness (get some Silky Tofu and Chicken WANGS “SON!”)..
Last week for the SK KARA-GE (btw, dun forget to dip/pour/shoot that housemade ginger ponzu sauce too.. I read a review of someone thinking it was dry… so remember “dip that sucka in that sauce foos!” haha ^_^)..
so that also means it’s the last week you can TRY to make the CRISP TOFU BALLS smiley face on a bed of tasty SK KARA-GE too (it’s FUN and all the kids that have no internet/FB/twitter/cell phones and live in a cave are doing it! ^_^)..
AND the LAST Roxette video for the week, I PROMISE! I can’t explain why I’m on a Roxette bender right now (outside of them being AWESOME and from Sweden LOL), but just remember to…
“hold on tight / you know she’s just a little bit DANGEROUS!”
^_________________________^
(pssst- btw, what better way to get your dineLA grub ON than w/ some Roxette, right?!?! I happen to think that’s one of the best “winning life strategies” if you ask me!)
Xoxo (especially to you the Swedish duo known only as…Roxette!),

Have you ever had a Silky Smooth “Slow Jammin” Tofu that just made you think…
“Oooooh man I really feel like taking it down a couple of notches and listenin’ to some smooth soft rock, and continually making sweet love to my… mouth right now with this tofu.”
You have??? WOW, I think I was the only one (see, I’m not a COMPLETE weirdo… am I?!?!)
Well then, the dineLA CITRUS SESAME SILKY TOFU is JUST for you smooth tofu lovers out there (and for the masses too. you don’t HAVE to feel like that to enjoy it’s bright+zesty silky smooth-liciousness! ;D)
So “dive in” and join us for dineLA, and please be prepared to be… “Lost in Love” with all it’s deliciousness (and be prepared for this song below too… LOL it’s so hilariously AWESOME!! And btw, I DO love Air Supply.. don’t hate me cause I’m beautiful and their songs are too!!! GWAAAAAAAA ^_^)
Dudes, watch this video.. especially when for the scene when we’re whisked away to a far off space cloud (w/ appropriate sound effect!) AWWWWESOME!
Happy dineLA ”diving” and/or eatin’ y’all!
Xoxo,
TEAM SK
