My trek through Los Angeles

[chris2269]

Lomita....Lomita Thai cafe. Loved this place. Definitely better than any Thai in San Diego and in my opinion better than Lotus of Siam in LV. I had the Crying Tiger and Moon crab noodles. Delish!

West Covina..got some recs from chowhounds but too busy with work. :(

Hollywood. Pizzeria Mozza .. Squash Blossom, burrata, & tomato Pizza. Great but maybe I expected to much, on the other hand the marinated Tuna and bean app. was a knock out.

back to Torrance. The Kettle. I had two dishes. The Pot roast tacos were insanely good. I also had Carbonara with poached eggs. I'm sure this place gets passed off as a fancy diner but everything I have had there has been delish.

I completely agree with you about Lomita Thai... it's a funky red building that puts out some good Thai food.

I think the Kettle is in Manhattan Beach.

Yeh I also got great service at Lomita Thai ...got the feeling that the cherished my business as much as I cherished thier food. A rare thing now days.

When you say the Kettle in Torrance you probably mean the one in Manhattan Beach? It's the upscale 24/7 coffee shop http://thekettle.net/ and I have always enjoyed their food. If you ever get there again their ouefs pain perdu French toast is great (the F toast is stuffed with cream cheese and orange marmalade and it comes with two eggs, bacon or sausage and breakfast potatoes - not the food for those on a heart healthy diet - lol).

The ouefs pain perdu from the Kettle is my favorite breakfast. Period. :)

I'm glad to see Lomita Thai is getting a little love around here. I've always liked that place.

For some reason it was really hard to link to this place, but I think this is it? (I noticed that your link didn't show - let's see if mine does)

That's it! Thanks!
