MILK part II

After having a great meal at Loteria Grill we decided to get dessert at MILK. A quick seven minute trip down Beverly Blvd, we were hungry for some sweet action. After debating on what to get, Lieto picked the coffee toffee ice cream sandwich. She liked it a lot, but when I tried it I felt that the coffee flavor was too strong.

Here is Lieto showing us here MUNCHIE FACE!

I chose the caramel banana nut ice cream bar. This was packed with an extreme banana flavor and laced with a stream of caramel down the middle of the bar. I really liked this one and would like to try this as an ice cream sandwich.
Here is my MUNCHE FACE! Looks like I'm super excited, huh?~ Bootsi

Loteria is easily one of my favorite Mexican places. I went here with a friend the other day and this place never seems to disappoint. Of course I got my usual huevos rancheros. It was so good that my damn fork broke and I could push myself to leave the huevos alone and get another one, but my fat ass finally did. For some reason, I still cannot stray away from the huevos. I just have to order it every time. It will be a big heart breaker if I get something else and it didn't satisfy me. OUCH!!! That would hurt. When I was done, I realized that they never gave me my freshly made tortills!

So my friend got the chilaquiles. She and I were just talking about chilaquiles the other day. We were discussing how hard it is to find chilaquiles on menus. BAAAM, biatch, just what the doctor ordered!!!! Right in our faces! This my friends is chilaquiles the way its supposed to be done. Fried chips smothered in home-made red chile guajillo sauce (rojo), sprinkled with queso fresco and topped off with a good helping of crema. It came on a big ass plate and it was so good that she finished every last bite! That's how we roll, playas! ~ BOOTSI

Here I am for a birthday dinner at Ruth Chris. There is something special about sizzling butter that brings a tear to my eye. The Irvine Ruth Chris that we went to on this day is located in a big strip mall, so there is plenty of parking unless you want to boost your ego and valet your car. The service was nothing great. We asked for butter four times and finally received it when the food came out.
I ordered a side of French fried onion rings and boy oh boy, these things were marvelous. This is by far the best onion ring that I have ever had. Everything about these rings were perfect. I hate it when you bite into an onion ring and the whole slice of onion comes out with it. You get a fat slice of onion hanging from your mouth and fried breading in your hand. That's bullshit! That's not how an onion ring should be, damn it. I call these "the ring that dominates all rings!"

For the main course, I ordered the filet and added a bleu cheese crust for a little extra $$$. On the website it says that it's the moist tender cut of corn fed Midwestern beef. I'm gonna have to agree with it. Steaks are seared at 1800 degrees and comes out on a hot ass blistering plate with sizzling butter."Oohhhs" and "ahhhhhs" came from our table. The filet was really tender but lacked that beefy flavor that other steaks have. Thank goodness for the butter because we all know butter makes things happen.

Everybody really enjoyed thier dinner. There was really no complaints as far as the food goes. Service wise, that's another story. ~Bootsi

My friend and I have had Simon LA on our to do list for a while now, ever since we found out that they served cotton candy for dessert. Located right next to the Beverly Center, in the Sofitel Hotel, this place breathes hip and elegance, so we fitted right in. haha

I could not recall what we ordered, but it was like a prefixed lunch. We ordered two different lunches, at $25 each, so we could have a taste of each other's goodies. The lunch came altogether on one big plate with little plates on top. My friend's lunch consisted of roasted tomato gauzpachio soup. I really liked how refreshing the cold soup was, but my friend did not. It tasted like cold tortilla soup. Heirloom tomato and burrata cheese with first pressed olive oil and basil. She said this was really good. The main dish was the surf and turf tacos. The surf was lobster and the turf was beef tenderlion. She really enjoyed them, too. They were really small though. For dessert, it came with a slice of key lime pie. That was really good, but not as good as the lemon gelato pie from Pizza Mozza.

My lunch consisted of a Belgian endive and watercress salad with caramelized walnuts, Fuji apples and point reyes bleu cheese. It came in one of those Chinese togo boxes. This was a refreshing salad. My appetizer was the bluefin tuna tartar with lemongrass oil and ginger rice crisps. The tuna tasted fresh and the lemongrass oil went really well with it. My main dish was the roasted halibut with quinoa, currants and pine nuts. The halibut had a little fishy smell to it, but was still good. The fish had a crunch on the outside and just flaked right up when I stabbed it with my fork. For dessert, it came with peanut butter fudge sundae. This was OK because by the time I was ready to eat the ice cream it was almost half melted! It did pack a mean peanut butter flavor.

This place was cool but next time I would just order off thier regular menu. The waiters were cool, too and I really liked the interior.
