For the record, we did NOT mistake meat for our JACK FRUIT service. We know it’s really hard to believe, but young green jack fruit has “magical” properties from the heavens and beyond (ooooOOoooH!) that give it a mysterious texture similar to… well, pulled pork! (but you muggles just couldn’t understand ^^)
Our friend that is a vegetarian was about to chew our heads off (I mean, how DARE we!) when he thought it was meat… but when we clarified and showed him the difference, the world had just become a better place for him! (as it should be) It’s funny, deceving and VEEEEEERY tricky vegetarian dish that emulates meat unlike any other, but we promise that it’s not meat… We promise-womise!!! Even in pictures it looks like meat! Check out this pic from our first jack fruit service below. Shouldn’t this be a Ripleys Believe It or NOT subject, right??? Well… BELIEVE IT veggie chockos. It’s JACK FRUUUUIIIT! We love ya, which is why we made something ooooh SOOO good. Damn us for loving our veggie friends! ^_^

Above, we’re back in rare form with tons of new pics and a lot of… N00BS (which we use lovingly cause we totally pwn’ed it with the service tonite.. OH YES!). With that said, we’d like to thank newcomers: Quentin, Justin, Karin (first time PHYSICALLY here…HOORAY), Marco (who I quote in a non-comic book standoff way “This won’t be my last time here”) and a non-friend or film connection newcomer… Johnny (who just found us on Yelp and guess what… yup, he wrote a SWEET Yelp review too, check it out HERE and feel free to contribute too!)
LOCATION…LOCATION…What, you can find the address on YELP???
On this topic, everyone has an opinion on this so I’ll just dispel some of it now. First, we intentionally leave it off the blog. Why??? Well… why not? People should work for it and have a little fun right? (plus it’s right here on Yelp anyway). Secondly, we’re actually selling out right now. Don’t you want to know that if you lost out on this wonderful flavor enlightenment that you lost out to someone that REALLY wanted to try us? (I know, I wouldn’t care if I’m hungry too in all honesty ^_^). Thirdly, I like to interact with people that are interested. All you have to do is ASK. Whether it’s via commenting, twitter, facebook, email or telepathy. If I get it, I’ll reply with the address and even phone number (oooooOOOooH!) So are we cool now? You can also forward it too. Cuz we coo’ like that. And by WE I mean me and you (the reader…s).
Service back on Sunday (like it always is) from 12-3p. Btw, if you have a large group coming, let us know. We’ll prep for it so that you and all your new/old SK friends can share in the tummy rubbing goodness together! Btw, we do cater too. You don’t want to wait for Sunday or Wednesday… then pay us some moolah and we do it up REAL good.
What are we serving Sunday? Good question. Maybe we’ll go back to the old ways and tell you day off. Let’s make a deal: if it’s old, we tell you ahead of time… if it’s new, find out day of or just show up. Do you trust our ability to satiate your desire for delectable delights that can only be quenched by inexpensive yet savory & tasty morsels of meaty (or veggie) SK lunchie munchies? If we lost you in that lengthy and wordy question meant to entertain and not put you to sleep… we’ll assume your answer to be a resounding, “OF COURSE SK. You’re preaching to the Pan-Asian Mexi-Mix Choir and we rejoice every Sun & Wed for your service.” Awww, you’re too nice mom.
Let’s end this post with some indie-licious like rock. I say “like” because I don’t know if they’ve crossed the line of mainstream or not… but you know what: I don’t F’ING CARE ‘cause this song’s so AWESOME. Makes me want to go make some mo’ tacos right now and hand them to random neighbors (can you still believe people refuse to know we exist here… WEIRD!). Btw, this album F’ING rocks too. Go buy it, and then drive to the liquor store in Silverlake (in Los Angeles) that they are named after. While you’re there, buy me some Captain Morgans, go to 7-11 and buy some slurpees, pour it over the slurpee and bring it on over and we’ll watch some Simspons re-runs together and laugh our asses off (that’s what my roomate Ted and I used to do every day). Enjoy!
