When my friends told me Los Angeles, California was the land for foodies, I really didn't believe them. My first trip to LA was back in May, where I finally got to visit a close friend after
almost
10 years! We ate
4-5 meals
each day— Sushi Gen, Pa Ord Thai, and Mexican street food stands were my top favorites. I still close my eyes occasionally just to remember the flavorful first bite I tasted at each place. The second I heard the workers speak their own native language, I knew the food was legit. I had trouble communicating with taco stand workers because they spoke Spanish mainly, but my friend used his high school Spanish skills to keep us afloat. We also hiked the famous Hollywood sign trail and visited downtown Hollywood and Venice Beach, but those were just tourist activities to make space for more food! Next time I visit LA, it has to be for a whole week just so I can try more local restaurants in different suburbs as well! Feel free to follow my Google Maps for more photos & locations
here. Time to re-drool from these photos :)
