Entrance

I finally got a chance to visit my friend Charles at his downtown LA office, and decided to have

Sam Woo – Van Nuys

Here is a place I usually go to for some bbq chicken or roast duck. Or when you feel like some warm porridge with duck and century egg. Its on the way home and its right next to a 99 Ranch Market so you can do your groceries on your way. This place is another chain, and the closest Sam Woo in the valley. My buddies from work decided to eat here for a Friday Lunch.

BCD Tofu House – Reseda

So it’s dinner time and Jen’s getting hungry. That is like activating a time bomb. We decided to do go somewhere we haven’t eaten in a while. We went to BCD Tofu House, which is a popular chain. Some places are open super late where you can count on getting a nice warm meal after partying.

We went to the one in the Valley by Saticoy and Lindley.

Mercado Buenos Aires – Van Nuys

Finally found a real Argentine place. A friend tipped me off to this place after I mentioned visiting LaLa’s. I always drive by this place twice a day on my way to work and back. The place is called Mercado Buenos Aires, located on Sepulveda and Saticoy. I over look this place because Popeye’s Chicken is right around the corner and I always take advantage of that 2 piece for a dollar deal.
