These are what I have my eye on: sea urchin tostada from La Guerrerense in Ensenada (one of my favorite stops in Baja), shoyu tonkotsu ramen from Ramen Jinya, whatever Javier Plascencia and Benito Molina (two of the finest Baja chefs) are serving, cocktails from Julian Cox, and more new things from the preview:
Okonimiyaki from Glowfish Truck filled with bacon and cheese.
The last time I had okonomiyaki was at Gaja in Lomita, so I'm glad to find out there will soon be an option (hopefully) closer! The Glowfish Truck, specializing in "Japanese Festival cuisine" is making their debut at the Food Fest.
Buttermilk Popcorn Chicken from The Mighty Boba truck. Very crispy and full of flavor!
There will also be Fried Squid Balls at the fest, which I heard were equally great (of course, they'll have boba).
The owner of Iota Coffee (which roasts their own coffee), Moo Dae Po, and Moo Dae Po II will be hosting a K-town section with korean sweets, hand drip coffee, and Korean green tea.
The interior of Iota. Spacious and sleek. |
I tried the first flush of the Jaksul green tea. It was lightly grassy and delightful, the taste is closest to the Long Ching/Dragon Well tea from China.
The Ice Cream Social will feature many delicious goodies, including ice cream sandwiches born from a partnership between Batch from Scratch and Scoops Westside.
