First, LQ@SK is BACK ON SUCKAS (that’s the Scallop Two-Ways above.. which I realize only ONE of the ways is displayed above in a fuckin’ FANTASTIC Vermouth Demi-Glaze)
Secondly, “NooooOOOOoooOOO” the Kitchen Ninja (aka @StarryKN ‘s) sick. We gotta wait ‘til tomorrow before we rotate. Since she’s out, let’s go ahead and bring back the SPICY KOREAN BLACK PORK BELLY! When they (who are “they” anyway, huh?!?!) say “once you go black… you never go back” does that kinda apply here, or doesn’t it since.. we went BACK! ^_^
Ok, enough non-sense jibba-jabba for a Monday AM. The menu changes starting tomorrow.
Last piece of info: LAST WEEK for CRISPY KIMCHI RICE CAKES, Basil Fried Rice AND Singaporean Curry Noodles. It’s a triple whammy y’all!!
Alrighty, I gots to drive my special lady home now. Come get yo’ PORK BELLY chockos ^_^
Happy week…???.. OMG, do I TRULY not remember what week we are? Is that a good or bad sign, huh?!?! I think it’s 16, or possibly 17… but I’m not sure. But WTH, time to revel in not counting the days (or…ummm.. WEEKS) and just trying to grow this mamma jamma. ^_^
SO the CRISPY TOFU BALLS are gone, and why do I bring this up?? Well, I think after 2 weeks of dinner services, we’re going to instate a new and fairly consistent rule: Whatever we rotate out of for lunch, we will continue for one more week at Din Dins ONLY!
What does all that jibberish mean exactly? EXPECT CRISPY TOFU BALLS for Din Dins this wk, and it’s your last chance before we take ‘em away for a lil bit. M’kay?! ^_^
WHAT ABOUT THE DINE LA ROUNDTABLE TIX!?!?!?
Oh yeah, as of this post you also have about 2.5 more hours to submit for the DINE LA ROUNDTABLE event tix. In the last day, I’ve gotten some REALLY good submissions too. I’ll share ‘em tomorrow. Good stuff :)
Okay, enough of this jibba jabba, and let’s get to the menu for this week.
First, read the menu if you want a nice lil ol’ description on the tofu (don’t be deterred cause its Vegan… it’s still delish). Secondly,the DAN-DAN NOODLES aren’t veggie friendly only because we do use chicken stock to flavor ‘em. SO, if you can eat that, GREAT! If you can’t, you can at least say we didn’t lie to ya. ^_^
So much to talk about, and so little time… but why don’t you start off your week by watching this fun little romp of a YouTube video. It’s quite entertaining, and it stars… ADRIEN BRODY! LOL (thx to friend Justin Mandel for posting this on his Facebook page.. I just saw it this morning, “stole” it and felt like posting it here… and it’s HILARIOUS)
Welcome back from your hopefully Labor-less… Labor Day weekend pardners!
(we worked a LIL bit [and ate a WHOLE lot], but we’ll keep that secret safe between me, you and the internetS ^_^)
So, as usual… no time to jibba-jabba since it seems this business seems to be working (which is FRICKIN’ AWESOME), so here’s what you needs to know:
BYE-BYE:
The first dish to be THREE-PEATED in SK’s long history (long if you imagine it from the perspective of a fly who lives like a couple of days.. so YEAH 6+ months IS many eternities!), the ethnically confused… and lip-smackingly delicious
NEBRASKA ANGUS JAPANESE MEATBALL CURRY
You’re a comforting friend in times of need, and when we don’t need ya you’re still a great (and scrumptious) companion. You will be missed… well, after you leave that is. :D
HI-HI:
Something we found out early on when we tested it is that… you like PORK BELLY, and thus we’ve brought these tasty morsels back to the rotation
SPICY KOREAN PORK BELLY
Inevitably I will get some more comments on how I may not have noticed, “that it’s kinda fatty!” But O’ how I love those comments because… that’s WHY you eat it suckas! LOL
PSSST- don’t forget this is also one of the TASTIEST of pork bellies… it’s BLACK PORK BELLY (aka Kurobuta)… YEAAAAAAAAAAH!
ALSO back
SK Asian Sesame Slaw (btw, you either love slaw.. or you don’t.. which we know ^_^)
Pineapple Fried Rice
Alrighty… it’s time for me to get on my horse (aka my VW Rabbit) and get going with my day. Until then (*CHEAP and ENTERTAINING PLUG ALERT!*)..
Do you like the… motion pictures? Do you like.. to laugh?
(*and in a whisper*)
Do you like… foreign languages/Vietnamese??
Then check out this trailer!! FOOL FOR LOVE opens this Friday in major Vietnamese (and American’s that love Vietnamese culture) communities!
(ok, I’m kinda involved in this film since I DID work in film in my “previous” life, but it’s one that makes me proud to say… “I’m VIETNAMESE..[and stuff].. YA’LL!”)
Dear SK n00bs + fans + people that so obsessed with us that they are “discusted” (<- yeah, that’s an IN joke but come and ask about it.. I’ll tell ya more TEE HEE HEE) with us,
HOLY CRAAAAAAP! We can’t believe we’ve made it this far, but WTH! We gonna F’ SH-T up some mo’ (and by “F’ SH-T up” I obviously mean serve some deliciously mouthwatering Pan-Asian comfort dishes for public *NOM*sumption LOL ^_^) and serve some din dins…
SK DINNER (aka Dins Dins)… starts TONIGHT! (Thurs+Fri ONLY/6-9p)
OH, if I haven’t mentioned… we’ve brought back MALAYSIAN CHICKEN CURRY just for DIN DINS ONLY!
I’m sure some of you that are new are like, “WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL ANYWAY?” To that I’ll say, “I DUNNO!” We’re just trying to have fun doing what we’re doing- no more, no less. As long as we enjoy the food and we’re having fun, and hopefully enjoying with you and having fun together… that’s ALL that counts (we hope you won’t be a D-bag and agree us here LOL)
your friends can try the SPICY KOREAN BLACK PORK BELLY at Dins Dins too.. o’ boy!
Before we get into any details (if you decided to read THIS far)… PARKING!!!
Here are some tips:
we do VALIDATE for our parking garage (California Plaza garage on Olive between 2nd + 4th) only if you get in by 7pm (EXACTLY). If you do, 2 hrs FREE!
street parking is free on Grand and near after 8pm -I think street parking is free on Olive after 6pm
you can also park at 4th+Hill (or near) for decent prices ($5 I think), and take the Angel’s Flight ($.25 each way) up
or you can METRO to Pershing Square, and take the Angel’s Flight ($.25 each way) up
When in doubt, feel free to call the restaurant: 213.617.3474.
So for those that have been: you can finally share with your spouses, friends and potential Facebook hook-ups you’ve been tantalizing with stories of culinary merriment at Starry Kitchen (hopefully).. our food!
Right now we’re going to keep it simple, it will be the exact menu as lunch. We are going to start offering different dishes, sides, appetizers and premium sides (whenever we feel like).
So spread the word HIGH, LOW and everywhere IN BETWEEN… cause frankly, it’s SCARY and we could totally use your help (and comaraderie) to get the word out.
Thanks guys… oh yeah, if you didn’t know this is the LAST WEEK for the NEBRASKA ANGUS JAPANESE MEATBALL CURRY
2 more days for our ethnically confused and yet delicious compadre!
