“Bye-bye” NOM NOM PORK! You’re reign of nom-nom-liciousness comes to an end (at least for lunch!)

Pssst- you can get it for Din-Dins tonight and/or Din-Dins next week too, just no more NOM NOM PORK lunchie-munchies next week, thas all! ^_^

Hope we see ya for lunch and/or Din-Dins tonight (you can try out the new starry shaped PANDAN DONUT HOLES too.. ain’t they the cutest LOL)

And in the mean time while you’re waiting to… “BRING IN DA WEEKEND” why not watch this cute video clip about some of my friends back in my “historic” indie film days (well, at least I think it’s kinda funny.. I wanna be part of the National Film Society!! haha)

Xoxo,

TEAM SK

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)

Xoxo,

TEAM SK

Happy #MotownMonday world + NOM NOM PORK + people of Los Angeles (and for our friends in LA we hope you FINALLY got your power back POST-“Windpocalypse” craziness… YOWZERS!)

Well, if you didn’t figure it out, ‘ze NOM NOM PORK is back on (in Vietnamese it’s “technically” known as Nem Nuong if you were wondering what this spam-like-liciousness is all about! ;D)  If your taste buds haven’t had the opportunity to have been graced by it’s deliciousness yet, just know that one fan (*cough* KIRBY *cough*) has given me one of my FAVORITEST quotes about our food and specifically this dish,

“…it speaks to my soul”

When someone says that, how can you NOT be curious.. salivate.. and CONSUME one of these suckas (it is TASTAY!)

(btw, Kirby’s a cool cat w/ an even cooler girlfriend and ain’t some creepy single silent type that ain’t got anything better to do than eat our food and read my blog… hey wait a min, OTHER people read my blog too… I HOPE!)

And before I get to the BYE-BYE dish (why don’t I just make it easy, it’s the MALAYSIAN COCONUT PINEAPPLE CHICKEN chockos!), on the topic of people that admittedly read my blog (I’m sure they’re careful on who they tell so they don’t get ridiculed in the streets.. I know, I WRITE the blog haha): please meet the Stanley family! HOORAY!  And meet their 5-month old ADORABLE new born as well… Double HOORAY!

Miss Mommy Sara here has NEVER been to SK, but just hosted a private party/catering at SK yesterday for her daughter’s Red Egg & Ginger Party (and for those militant Chinese people, YES, we/she knows it’s supposed to be a 1-month old party.. she just got busy and threw it now, m’kay! ;D). Ya know why she came when I asked her,

“I read the blog.”

Whaaaaaaaaat?!?! How CRAAAAZY is that (and how CRAAAAZY is that ANYONE reads my blog). So to Sara and the Stanley fam I say:

THANKS for bringing+hosting the Red Egg & Ginger Party to SK (did I mention they’re all the way from OC too), and thanks for being one of 3-4 people with the patience enough to sift through all my A.D.D. ridiculousness I post on this blog. We salute you, and would like to offer you an “honorary” GOLD STAR (FYI- a “GOLD STAR” has no value YET at SK at the time of this blog post ^_^)

…

And I think I’ll end with that.  I was gonna post more, but I think I’ll save what I have to say for another day (i.e. tomorrah!)

And if you happened to have skimmed to the bottom (for more “pertinent” info of course) and didn’t read the informal BYE-BYE notice above, here’s the FORMAL BYE-BYE notice then:

BYE-BYE = MALAYSIAN COCONUT PINEAPPLE CHICKEN!

Alright? ALLLLLLRIGHT! :)

Xoxo,

TEAM SK

Ya know a really good way to say “F’ YOU week.. I’m through with you!” (Both literally & figuratively speaking of course)..

Get some of that NOM NOM PORK in yo’ mouth, that’s how!!

(Or you can just go karaoke/noraebang like we are in this picture, get really plastered and throw up the universal sign for the end of the work week- the middle finger of course!!)

And there ya have it chockos- Happy Middle Finger Friday! Haha

Xoxo,

TEAM SK

PS- for those not paying attention “YUP, the CRISPY TOFU BALLS are back!!!” ^_^

“HELLO.. is it Din-Dins / NOM NOM PORK / or our @dine_LA menu you were LOOKING FOOOOOOOR!?!”

(shout out to our buddy Hai Tran for allow us to Facebook “stalk” him and find this pretty remarkably edited video.. PRETTY COOL people.. pretty cool! ^_^)

Btw, NOM NOM PORK is Din-Dins tonight+tomorrow night ONLY!

Xoxo,

TEAM SK

PS- don’t forget, like diamonds, CRISPY TOFU BALLS are FOREVER (well, FOREVER on the menu that is ;D)

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!

Xoxo,

TEAM SK

Poooork… POOOORK… NOM NOM POOOORK! (it’s yummers ^_^)

Bye,

TEAM SK

PS-if you’re bored waiting to eat some.. NOM NOM POOOORK.. why not check out this fun interview and coverage of SK shot, edited and produced by USC student Grace Jang who sought us out for her project. Thanks Grace, we’re glad it didn’t come out crappy (aka it came out great and thanks for thinking of us!)

Credit (shot, edited & produced): Grace Jang!

PPS-did I mention that even though I have inadvertently become the “face” of Starry Kitchen, I KINDA hate listening to myself in interviews. haha  Oh well, enjoy and feel free to point and laugh at me when you see me (and I’ll point and laugh at myself with ya ;D)

While not quite New Wave.. damn it, I own the blog (for the time being.. ya never know, maybe Arianna Huffington will want to buy this for like $.50 and some oreos one day!) and I can post stuff whatever I want like music that came out during that era… like Toto’s AFRICA! (this song is AWESOME though, right??)

Btw, if you want to see a strong ‘stache, fast forward to about 2:17 and watch him sing the chorus.. isn’t his mustache SWEET! Chuck Norris would be proud.. if Chuck Norris wasn’t too busy crushing cans on his forehead… GARBAGE CANS that is! haha) … inane reference for possibly minimal comedic value (except for the few of us that do enjoy a good Chuck Norris-ism to start our day) below:

Now that we have both New Wave Weds and Chuck Norris outta the way (is there really anything else to talk about???), just a few more days left for the CHINESE HOISIN HAMBURGER!! (I mean, just in case New Wave and Chuck Norris instantly makes you think… “MAN, I’m craving a CHINESE HOISIN HAMBURGER now after reading all that hilarity. I’m going to call my only other friend that reads this blog to see if he/she is craving the same thing and see if we’re still friends too!”)

Last piece of news: tomorrow (Thurs night) is the ONLY Din-Dins we’re serving up this week. (i.e. I think we’re gonna get DRUNK on Friday since it’s July 4th, and you don’t want us serving you drunk do you??? LOL) So if you want some SK-crack-tasticness (ok, those aren’t necessarily anyone elses words but mine), come get some. Especially the PANDAN DONUT HOLES

and/or the last night we’ll be serving the NOM NOM PORK before we REALLY rotate that sucka out.

And that’s all I have for you’z today. Enjoy, and see you soon (I hope! ;D)

Xoxo,

TEAM SK

PS- no REALLY, watch the video for his ‘stache, it’s pretty frickin’ SWEET!

TWO MORE DAYS of the NOM NOM PORK and it’s tasty reign of deliciousness comes to a lunchtime end

“DAMN you Team SK and your meddling team of more than slightly talented yet extremely charming culinary pirates.. ARRRRRGH!”

If you haven’t had it, it’s tasty AAAAAND delicious (if didn’t I mention that before LOL ^_^)

Otherwise, to help cushion the blow before the NOM NOM PORK skedaddles (dudes, that’s a word in the Merriam-Webster online dictionary… for REALS!), let’s take a hilarious look at making donuts from one of my favorite incomprehensible chef’s (no.. not Gordon Ramsey.. I can understand him quite clearly when he calls someone “a DONKEY” in the kitchen.. which is mighty hilarious if you don’t mind me saying): the SWEDISH CHEF

Enjoy,and please don’t hate us too much for taking away the NOM NOM PORK!! And if you do have to release some aggression towards us, just do what the Swedish Chef shows ya how to do below and take a shotgun and make some donuts! =)

Xoxo,

TEAM SK
