In honor of #nationalpastaday - tagliatelle bolognese @pasta_sisters in Culver City. Love their fresh pasta! I always mean to try other dishes on the menu, but this one calls out to me every time! . . . . . #pastasisters #pasta #noodles #noods #foodporn #food #foodpics #foodie #lafoodie ##laeats #foodstagram #instagood #culvercity #nationalpastamonth

Now that opening hype is over, I finally checked out the cheese tarts @bakecheesetart_usa @westfieldcenturycity where there was no line at 10:15am. Got an original tart for $3.50 and devoured it immediately. Love the creamy not-too-sweet filling in the cookie tart crust! As I glanced at the crumbs on my shirt, I regretted not ordering the Early Bird Special - two tarts and a 10 oz. organic coffee for $6! The special is available Mon-Fri 9am to 11am. Makes a perfect breakfast or mid-morning snack! . . . . . #bakecheesetart #westfieldcenturycity #dessert #sweet #breakfast #desserts #food #foodblogger #foodpics #foodie #lafoodie #laeats #foodstagram #instafood #yelpla

On weekends, we usually ramen, but today we had udon, soba and ramen @mitsuwa_marketplace - curry udon and chicken soba from Sanuki Sandou and salt ramen from Santouka. Our cheap $5.95 bowls of udon and ramen were almost the same price as my daughter’s one bowl from @ramensantoukausmawa (though Santouka’s totally worth it)! . . . . . #santouka #santoukaramen #ramen #noodles #udon #sobanoodles #soba #food #foodpics #foodie #lafoodie #laeats #foodblogger #instafood #foodstagram #yelpla

The air in LA is terrible today because of the fires. I’ll be hiding indoors, reading and tackling a cooking project or two. If watching Netflix is more your speed, you should check out “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat” with Samin Nosrat. She’s going to be @ucla tomorrow night (Oct. 13th), along with fellow contributor to The New York Times Lindy West. Not only do they both have best-selling books, but they both have TV series (Netflix and Hulu, respectively). Tix are still available at Link: http://bit.ly/2Q5vGr9 Use promo code SNLW15 for 15% off tickets. Thanks @cap_ucla for organizing such a great event! . . . . . #ucla #saminnosrat #lindywest #saltfatacidheat #food #foodblogger #lafoodie

#tbt to yesterday’s trip to the OC to break fast on Yom Kippur at my sister-in-law’s. Since we were in the neighborhood, I thought it was a good opportunity to check out the dim sum @timhowanusa - especially the baked bbq pork buns! Yes, I know it’s kind of twisted to be eating pork buns (of all things) during the fast, but I’m not Jewish, so it’s OK. I’m glad I finally got to try Tim Ho Wan’s famed buns. They were crunchy, rather than sticky, with just a touch of char siu inside. Each order has 3 buns for $6. You can join the waitlist on Yelp or go to the takeout counter so you can avoid the wait! . . . . . #timhowan #timhowanusa #dimsum #bbqpork #bbqporkbuns #irvine #food #foodblogger #foodpics #foodie #lafoodie #laeats #oceats #ocfoodie #foodstagram #instafood #yelpla #yelpoc

I was too busy stuffing my face with bbq pork buns to get an ah boong @somisomiicecream which is why you see this cup of their soft serve that bears a resemblance to a certain emoji. My daughter just wanted the ice cream and passed on getting any toppings - so yeah, it may look like 💩 but still tasted good! . . . . . #somisomi #icecream #dessert #food #foodporn #foodpics #instafood #foodstagram #foodie #lafoodie #laeats #foodpics #foodblogger #yelpla
