My first trip to Sawtelle

Last night was my first experience with the Sawtelle area on the west side and I loved it. It was a really nice little area with cute and inexpensive food. We had dinner at Asahi Ramen complete with cold noodle ramen and curry ramen as recommended by la.foodblogging. After dinner we walked along Sawtelle street and went into some of the boutiques and the Japanese markets. In one of the stores we saw this bag.

For those of you who know me well, this bag is soo appropriate and ironic in many different ways. Unfortunately it was $25 and I couldn’t justify a splurge for a fabric tote at the time. To see more check out their website.

Overall it was a great time and evening at a very low cost. Street parking is free after 6 pm and the food came out to $22 with tax and tip for 3.

Next time we’re going to try out either Sawtelle Kitchen or Hide Sushi.

Food blogs

I love to read about food and restaurants. One of the things I loved to do when I lived in the Bay Area is try new restaurants. Since moving to Los Angeles, I’ve missed those comfort food spots.

I’ve found a few blogs out there by locals who have been great in guiding me to new restaurants. However what I’ve found is that a lot of those restaurants are on the west side.

Today I’m going to start adding restaurant reviews to my dieting blog since food and diet go together. I’ll let you know what options I see on the menus that might be better for dieters or if it’s just a a go and enjoy type of restaurant.
