ELITE

MY FIRST POST!!!!

So this is the 'famous' chinese restaurant in the east of the city of angels. went out with my new cg- PROMENADE with two other WILSHIRE cg members haha and we ordered a whole bunch of food but i didnt take much pictures..

Chicken tenders:
i must admit this is REALLY flavorful.. it has VERY crispy texture and the inside is marinated too. if one comes to ELITE they definitely HAVE to try this tenders because i don't think there is another tender quite like this.

Custard tart:
well this is rather mediocre... the custard is soupy.. yes SOUPY and the crust is a little bit off but as usual americans consider them GOOD..

fried bread stick (yes you tiao is called fried bread stick) wrapped in rice paper :
this is what we call THE BOMB!! its is let's just say.. SHINGZ!!! crispy in the inside, soft on the outside and with a dip of its sauce, its truly a flavor explosion!! SWEET, SALTY, a hint of spice, its all there! i wouldnt mind ordering it to go.

all in all it was a pleasant restaurant.. service wise is moderate.. the ambience was pretty decent i guess ..

HOWEVER even though the meal is considered one of the best chinese restaurant in LA, it is FAR... REAL FAR!!! is located in the East of los angeles and i had to drive for 40 minutes just to reach that place...

my rating would be 7/10 im sure there are BETTER restaurants that i have yet to dine in which are closer to LA.

i think indonesians LOVE to hunt for food i spent the WHOLE DAY driving around because we all wanted to go different places..we shouldve just used one car...=.= anyway we wanted to try PINK BOBA but it was late... everyone else reached the place but my stupid GPS was giving me the wrong direction so i headed home :'( so look foward to LOS ANGELES' INFAMOUS PINK BOBA!!!! yes the boba is really PINK !!! i post it once i try

fyi. after tasting all the bobas in los angeles... i find singapore's and indonesia's boba... BAD..as in REALLY BAD =.= i should francise LA's boba
