Social luncheon with a bestie - I fetched them at their flat and they sat in the back seat; masked. I drove us masked. I’m fully vax and my friend is only partly vax.

ohgane, Oakland ca - ive been coming here for a few years with my friend.
bbq box luncheon:
spicy pork belly
white rice; japchae noodles; broccoli; bean sprouts; Mandu; green salad with red spicy dressing
assd bancha (!!)

the restaurant gave us more bancha and my friend didn’t want it so I have fun leftovers.
my first korean restaurant meal in over 15 months - I didn’t go to any Korean restaurant in 2020!

I still haven’t had pho since January 28 2020! That last pho was at Turtle Tower, which was nicely featured in the pho issue of the now/defunct Lucky Peach magazine!

Obviously pork and olives. Do I see scallions and basil or is that something else?
Looks delicious.

There's a little cheese shop near me that on the side does cheese toasties. I just had one for lunch. The cheese blend was six different cheeses some local artisan and some imported. Oh my. I need a lie down.

Saffron ice cream is sold at the local ethnic market (Super King Market) albeit pricy!

The only decision needed is which to have first.

I believe it is $15 per gallon - haven't tried it yet but will get a tub on the next shopping trip and will let you know! :)

Leleh Saffron Pistachio is the best ice cream on earth!!
Very creamy, not too sweet, hints of rose and cardamom. Unfortunately I'm legitimately addicted now and have been to the market 3 times in the past week to get this! I would like to know where else I can find this, it's a bit expensive where I buy it. I'm not saying it's not worth it.

my only weekday luncheon at home this week…
Tofu / broccoli / Leftover rib eye steak ala mapo tofu inspiration (albeit zero peppercorn)
purple rice
leftover bancha from Tuesday luncheon

due to my child’s baseball schedule, I couldn’t grill steak last night nor tomorrow so tonight it’ll be grilled rib eye steaks.
