food break in Los Angeles

Another break from routine beauty blogginess..I flew down to Los Angeles to surprise someone and sort of failed at it. This person was not surprised *sigh* Oh well, it's the thought that counts, yes?
On saturday, 2/13 I managed wake up early enough to trek it to the LA Street Food Fest. Basically, it's all the food trucks you have to chase on Twitter all rolled up in to one big area.
There was an entrance fee of $5. Upon entering, I was given a drink ticket to redeem a full sized non-alcoholic beverage. The sun was beaming so I didn't even want to bother with alcoholic drinks.

 

  

  

the 1st truck I headed to: FrySmith for some foie gras fries

ankimo (monk fish liver) @ Hama Sushi , Little Tokyo Los Angeles

uni (sea urchin) @ Hama Sushi, Little Tokyo Los Angeles

I ate a bunch of other things like various nigiri, a spicy tuna handroll and salmon skin roll but those aren't worth mentioning or taking pictures of. Well let me rephrase that, the nigiri was good because the fish is extremely fresh at Sushi Hama but I was too hungry to take pictures! Hahaha 

GUNG HAY FOT CHOY!
