maruhide UNI CLUB

as you know.. i LOVE uni. i have a prOblem..

well.. this place in torrance feeds my addiction. maruhide produces santa barbara uni products, supplies uni, and are based out of long beach. their UNI CLUB restaurant, serves up an amazing sampling of their product. i would say that over 90% of the menu is uni.. so b can’t eat here with me. but i have nO problem coming alone to enjoy.

uni bowl with uni, salmon, tuna, ikura, sea cucumber, marinated uni, squid. the amount of rice is just right in proportion to the fish, and the wasabi is freshly grated.

uni bowl, with uni, salmon, ikura and uni tamago. lOve everything in this bowl!

uni cream croquette. i die.. everything is well proportioned, executed and presented. the sashimi is, of course, very fresh. pricing is fair. i would eat here all the time if it wasn’t for fear of high cholesterol.

lOve.

Manhattan Beach Post

29 Nov

dinner at manhattan beach post.

after all the recommendations to try this place we finally made it. the biscuits brought me in, and the desserts will keep me coming back. the menu changes constantly, and there are always special savories and desserts to try.

decor + theme. simple + well thought out.

the cheddar bacOn biscuits with maple butter. perfection. sOo good. flaky, buttery, served hot. a must order.

pork belly + kimchi. it was well cooked, a little on the sweet in flavoring. as a general rule, i don’t love asian “fusion” flavors for savory dishes, so i’ll prob stay away from these kinds of dishes in the future. but when we see pork belly.. we usually will order.
