LA, Korea and Oaxaca


































Was down in LA this weekend. A friend took us to Kobawoo House, a Korean place specializing in pork. Angelenos have fanatical opinions about their food, which you can read about on Yelp. Search the comments on Kobawoo for "b*itch" and "Fermat" for some enjoyable reading. We also tried various mole dishes at Monte Alban in Santa Monica. I picked up some Oaxacan drinking chocolate and Elotitos Xtreme candy (Elote is Mexican corn on the cob, usually with butter or mayo and chili sauce). The Juquilita drinking chocolate is in crumbly dry cylinders, which is typical of South American chocolate, but I was disappointed to find that this was pre-sweetened with sugar rather being pure cacao.

That candy sure looks spicy!
