Before we start, here’s the equation for the week: KOREAN PORK BELLY+Pineapple Fried Rice=*ka-BOOM* in yo’ mouth!

(seriously, I’ve had it ALL wrong.. until now!)

but…

HELLOOOO,

And WHOA! Can you believe we started the experiment middle o’ May last year, and then operated legitimately in February?!?! Madness I say… MADNESS!!!

(I mean, it still does blow us away… which is COOOOOOL!)

Alright, enough of that ‘cause we gots some important BIDNESS to get into.

Let’s start w/ the F’ING bad news first:

BYE-BYE:

The recently uncovered & discovered flava-combo-supa-dupa-power (Why Jebus…WHYYYYY)

• SPICY KOREAN BLACK PORK BELLY

&

• Pineapple Fried Rice

YEAH, these two combined… Holy MACKEREL Batman is that shiz’nit GOOOOOD! So if you haven’t had it, or were a fool to follow my previous suggestions of the Banh Mi being the best… now’s the time to make up for lost time ‘cause man o’ man, I almost “busted a NUT” when I ate it like this. “FOR REAL!” ^_^

HI-HI:

We got some notable dishes coming in today like the

• SAVORY SAKE TOFU (aka “not yo’ mamma’s tofu!” ^_^)

And a LIL bit of a fave for patrons and fans, and just because the KN felt like bringing it back sooner rather than later…

• Japanese Garlic Noodles

(And the village rejoiced w/ breath mints in hand! YAY!)

Note: just a warning that this next paragraph is ALMOST link-CRAZY!

And on a nostalgic and slightly off-beaten musical note, check my buddy Randy George and his MAD Theremin skills. This guy lived 3 houses down from me back in the hood of… CARROLLTON (Texas!) If you don’t know what it is (I didn’t either ya’ll) and/or didn’t check out the previous video (posted OVER year ago so of course you saw it! ;D), click the word ‘Theremin’ above for the Wikipedia link and/or… just watch this video for the nostalgic part (ZELDA!!!) of this paragraph

And yeah, I still go on wild-tangents for nearly-useless information… but hey, that ALSO makes Pan-Asian Comfort food taste better!:

Xoxo,

TEAM SK

F’ING A! Let me tell you guys something. Yesterday’s THIT KHO TACOS mutha frackin’ delicious! Out of the 10 dishes we’ve served you suckas (you know we LOVE you suckas!), this has to be my (Nguyen Tran) FAVORITE!!! (I just noticed out of four sentences, I’ve used exclamation marks in 75% of them… oh well ^^). While it’s not only a super-duper familiar dish to me and EVERY Vietnamese kid in the world (and also Gene Lee, the consumate Korean kid who hung out in the Vietnamese hood of ummm… Houston ^^), I’ll go out on an “internet limb” (and that’s a BIG and LONG limb too with how many readers do we have again?? ummm… let’s re-visit that answer later LOL) and say the KITCHEN NINJA has perfected this dish in all it’s delightfully delectible and juicy-licious glory.

I mean, as a foodie, if you didn’t make it… I wish you owned a time machine ‘cause it was THAT good. You could be like that girl in one of my recent favorite Japanese-anime films, THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME. She gains the power to time travel, but instead of doing anything important she time travels to eat her favorite yogurt, or to sing karaoke for 10 hrs in a row (it’s cheaper that way when they charge per hour!) and other fun stuff. Yeah, you should be like her and try these out. They were divine! (pssst) I embedded the trailer for your YouTube watching glory below, but don’t be fooled… this film is SOOOOO charming.

WHY ALL THE JIBBA JABBA… WHAT ARE YOU SERVING ON WED???

I’m glad you asked mid-80’s era Mr. T. Well, with another Sunday done, our minds are already racing for what we’re serving this Wednesday. For all the n00bs, here’s the deal. If it’s a NEW dish, we don’t tell ya until the day of (or a little earlier if we feel so kind or drunk) to whet your appetites and your curiosity to get you to come back out and visit us (because we MISS you!) If it’s an OLD classic (because in three months of service ALL of ‘em are “classics”), we tell ya straight up ‘cause we cool like that. ^^

Alrighty. Enjoy the pix, and “You stay classy“… ummm… North Hollywood, the Valley and all of greater Los Angeles including the parts that no one pays attention to. Until then, enjoy the smooth stylin’s of my friend, Randy George, and his incredible ability to re-create a song (in this case Gnarls Barkley’s CRAZY) on what looks like an antennae… but is actually an INSTRUMENT called a Theremin! Simply…yup… AMAZING! What does this have to do with food and STARRY KITCHEN? “Nada.” It’s just us and who we are. :p Enjoy!
