Formerly Underground+Illegal Restaurant/Kitchen gone legit?!? ;p
Happy New Wave Weds! (aka three more days for the NOM NOM PORK too.. booooOOOoooOO)
This song my be less New Wave, but it’s from the same era and hey…who doesn’t love The Final Countdown… J’YEEEEEAH
And that’s about it y’all. Gotta go serve up some grub.
Lates,
TEAM SK
First, here are some pics from our LEMONGRASS CHICKEN + SPICY TOFU service from Wed night. Good stuff.
Secondly, service is ON this Sunday from 12-3p, BUT with a catch: it’s going to be our last service for a couple of weeks. In short, the realities of family beckons- Thi’s father in Dallas is going through major heart surgery next week and we’ll be flying back to the city of our roots to be with our family. We expect to be back, and will continue to blog and keep everyone updated via email, Twitter and Facebook.
Trust when we say it’s a hard for us (emotionally) to stop for a little while because frankly… we are LOVING doing this, we LOVE your reactions, we are very SERIOUS about growing this (did you see one of the previous posts… we ACTUALLY did go look at the taco trucks today!) and truthfully we’re SCARED of losing momentum. We’re not afraid to admit that either.
One of the things that we set out to do was be consistent. After hearing a couple of not-so-nice stories of businesses flaking, not communicating or similar we were committed to continually serve. That and we knew it was an uphill battle for people to take seriously a couple that serves tacos outta the back of their apartment… well, we’ve been doing it for about 3 months now. What do you think? ^_^ Well, I guess the LA Weekly Blog - Squid Ink thinks it’s interesting. LOL
SO, if you really want you some STARRY KITCHEN, come git it this weekend ‘cause it’s the last you’ll have… until we comeback! What are we serving…hmmm…what ARE we serving?
GROUND GARLIC CHICKEN (aka “nem nuong” made w/ chicken) - click the link for pics from the last time this was served (ummm, last week I think ^^)

Veggie: SWEET POTATO KIMCHI PANCAKE
There you have it. Want to know more… click the link. I’ll upload a great pic of the SWEET POTATO KIMCHI PANCAKE tomorrow. It’s REALLY a good stand alone dish, and will be a great taco too.
So, please come out like gangbusters ‘cause we’ll be (voluntarily) shut down in NoHo for the next couple of weeks. And please continue to help us spread the word. I just realized today that we have SEVEN Yelp Reviews now. I’m not even going to link it because we have a nice lil Yelp button on the left banner now. Take a look!
And for the video choice of the day that’s appropriate for our last service (it’s not entirely appropriate since we ARE we coming back) …. let me present to you one of the guiltiest pleasures from the 80’s… “THE FINAL COUNTDOWN” by Europe (it’s so good!):
Much love,
TEAM STARRY KITCHEN
