(flyer above from “back in the illegal+underground days!”)
Dear Baby-makers of America,
We hope your reign of love (and/or possibly terror) on Vday has ended! (and hope you have cute babies at the end of the year too LOL) But let’s get back to reality:
#NEWWAVEWEDS
Btw, we retired the ORIGINAL illegal+underground SK as of last night (but who says we can’t still do some mo’ illegal+underground shenanigans, huh?!?!). And I’ll admit, I did shed a tear. Who woulda thought such a simple apartment would have been the start of what we are now… in all seriousness, that’s pretty FUCKING AMAZING and we’re VERY appreciative of all that’s happened thus far!! ^_^
Well, I’ll reminisce more when I have more time, but I’d like to dedicate one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE Depeche Mode songs in honor of the ORIGINAL SKHQ…
Ok, it’s NORMALLY #NewWaveWeds ,but can you think of a better way to enjoy yer BURMESE GALANGAL CHICKEN WINGS than with… NEW WAVE!! I can’t (ok, maybe I could but it’s ANOTHER pleasant way to enjoy ‘em)
If you haven’t had these yet, there are INCREDIBLY savory and so FUCKING excellent over rice… OMFG (“think not sexy Burmese chicken wing thoughts.. think not sexy Burmese chicken wing thoughts!”)
(deep breath)
Ok, I’m alright now. Now all we needs is some Pet Shop Boys “Suburbia” with these WAAAAANGS to make it all better. Enjoy!
Ok, I’m definitely better now… CHICKEN WAAAAAAAANGS! (maybe not ^_^)
Happy #NewWaveWeds and happy @dine_LA dessert sneak preview: LYCHEE PANNA COTTA w/ SALTED PLUM SAUCE (it’s soooooooooOOOOO goooooood!)
So if you didn’t know… dineLA restaurant week is coming up Jan 23-Feb 4! (we haven’t posted our meny yet either, hopefully in the next day or two) WOO HOO
But that’s enough about that (while we still finalize the menu), why not enjoy some “PUTTING ON THE RITZ” w/ some Japanese Garlic Noodle-liciousness (btw, we ran out yesterday too.. some and get it y’all!)
Ya know what’s REALLY great w/ #NewWaveWeds …TAIWANESE FRIED PORK CHOPS!! (Yeah, we STILL have some more for today=the REAL last day. I’m starting to think my kitchen staff may love it more than THEY even know because THEY’RE the ones that made some more… WOW!)
And while you’re enjoying your TAIWANESE FRIED PORK CHOP, some Pineapple Fried Rice and THE CLASH… don’t forget while the NOM NOM PORK + CRISPY TOFU BALLS are still on the menu you can always request the bastard child of the two dishes that I literally created in my mind on the Angel’s Flight one day (for lil bit extra $$) : the CRISPY NOM NOM BALLS banh mi sammie (btw, it’s MIIIIIGHTY tasty too ^_^)
And on a different note, you should watch this. It’s FUUUUNNY! If you’ve ever been to Austin (did I mention we’re from TX and we <3 Austin!!), chances are you have heard of or been to the Alamo Draft House movie theaters (thems our friends too y’all ^_^). I guess they had to kick out an annoying texter in the middle of a movie (btw, texting in a movie is SUPER annoying y’all), they received a funny+hilarious+angry+long voicemail from that annoying texter and here’s the Alamo Draft House’s response with a lil Patton Oswalt and Jason Reitman thrown into the mix to help “deliver the message!” ENJOY!
I was thinking “Who from the New Wave era would enjoy a #NewWaveWeds CRISPY TOFU BALL… in their mouth? Who? WHO?”
And then it came to me… BILLY IDOL! (ok, I knew the answer before I came up with the question, but it’s KINDA an interesting question if you’re bored… RIGHT?!?!)
So enjoy some BILLY IDOL with your CRISPY TOFU BALLS y’all! (and yeah, I know, this post is a LIL bit later than usual today, but hey… better late than never foo’s!)
Doesn’t #NewWaveWeds get you in the mood for some STARRY KITCHEN (ok, maybe not, but for some people it MIGHT… “LONG LIVE NEW WAVE w/ STARRY KITCHEN GRUUUUUUB!” ;D)
And if you don’t mind me suggesting (if you do mind, please skip down to my picture of when we got invited to last year’s Gold Standard event - new picture to be taken SOON!): maybe the TAIWANESE FRIED PORK CHOP (always a fave and ALWAYS FUCkin’ FANTASTIQUE in a banh mi sammie y’all), THE VIETNAMESE MINCED BEEF-TACULAR w/ optional (in this world, mandatory in my personal microcosm of a world :D) FRIED-EGG-LICIOUSNESS and/or whatever soup we gots today (what, we’re moving and I got a little distracted, m’kay?!?!) since this is the last week ^_^
That’s it for today.. hope to see you (at lunch and/or the Gold Standard 2012!)
Happy #NewWaveWeds AND #SOPASucksAss day too! (SEE.. #SOPASucksAss so much it gives me and one of my many pervy ‘staches a sad face like above!!)
If you don’t know what SOPA is and why it “sucks ass,” why not check out this convenient Google link HERE for more info (and maybe even sign the petition so my blog of 3-4 readers are never deprived of me embedding cool New Wave videos like “In a Big Country” by.. umm… BIG COUNTRY!)
“In a BIG country.. they don’t deprive you of your internet TOMFOOOOOLEEEERY!”
(that’s at least how I’m singing it in my head today)
Aside from that, it’s a lil nippy outside so why not come to SK to get some.. BEER! PINEAPPLE BEER CHICKEN WING SOUP that is. ^_^ Plus that’ll show ‘em in Congress what you really think… well after you get a lil hammered and tell ‘em what you REALLY think about SOPA and it’s bastard cousin PIPA!
And if none of that matters to you and all you want is some FLAVA in yo’ mouth (that’s alright, I get where you coming from) do not deny yourself the opportunity to try THE VIETNAMESE MINCED BEEF-TACULAR!! OMG, it’s SOOOOOO good (and glad to hear that many that have tried it think the same too.. *phew*)
Btw, don’t forget start’s next week too (and THE VIETNAMESE MINCED BEEF-TACULAR gets a FRIED EGG version JUST for dineLA too! ^_^)
Ok, that’s it for today. And for any new readers that made it here (mainly because you couldn’t onto WikiPedia because of the #SOPABlackOut I’m sure LOL), WELCOME CHOCKOS! :D
Happy #NewWaveWeds !!! (ok, this may not TECHNICALLY be a “New Wave” song but it came out at the time, it’s TOTO and I really like this song because remember “Love isn’t ALWAYS on TIIIIME!”)
I gots to go right now so remember.. we’re OPEN TODAY (and we have the SK KARA-GE/Japanese Popcorn Chicken on the menu too!!!) WOO HOO ^_^
Ya know #NewWaveWeds “Promises, PROMISES” to be more delicious with Asian food…
How’s THAT for a cheesy (and pretty HORRIBLE unless you can hear the song in your head) tie-in for the day! haha (but I do love this song and YOU do too… I HOPE!!!)
Otherwise, we hope you’re enjoying your NOM NOM PORK, CRISPY TOFU BALLS or the tasty bastard child of the two that I like to call… CRISPY NOM NOM BALLS this week! (I will have to create one today and take a picture for tomorrah)
Btw, it’s COLD again (what’s with this weather) so get yo’ asses on over and get some CILANTRO SCALLION MEATBALL SOUP to warm your soul (and/or ASSES) before we change that out suckas! :)
And with that said, I’d like to leave you with this spicy+endearing message from Team SK
Ain’t that thoughtful??? (and I guess pretty painful too haha)
