10.6 小菜一碟littledishes vol.6
honored to have had isa join me!! isa is an LA native trained in her mom’s kitchen deseeding chiles charring tomatillos and frying tacos dorados. She tastes costillitas adobadas in a plate of char siu and the comfort of menudo in a bowl of pho. She loves nothing more than a table crowded with salsas fresh fixings and loved ones.
In Shanghai, there was a tex-mex restaurant we frequented in middle school with fried ice cream, bbq pork chimichangas and blue corn tortillas. Later, in high school one of my all time favorite restaurants, Mamacita opened for around three years before closing, with frozen passion fruit margaritas, table-side guac and i’ll never forget having mole for the first time there. I moved to LA from Shanghai for college where Mexican food was quickly cemented alongside Korean and Chinese food in terms of shaping my understanding of flavor, eating, and produce.
this was also extra special because it was vol.6 and 66 / 六六 was the name of my childhood dog :)
also it was mid-autumn festival!!! 中秋节
i had so much fun creating/testing this menu and also prepping and serving everything (:
小菜一碟littledishes is a shanghainese pop-up project
