Hello from Hong Kong! Yes, I'm here again. I know... I might as well live here with as often as I'm here instead of back in L.A.. If you couldn't tell, I'm a tad bit behind on blogging so today's post is still going to be from Los Angeles. A good friend recently came from San Francisco to visit. We decided to do a handy yelp search for something different and wound up with Mantee's King's Delight in Studio City. The seating was outdoors very romantic but the food was Eh.... The parking lot is also hard to find. It's kind of hidden.
Pita bread and the crunch crackers that we dipped in humus.
Beef salad. I usually really like salad and veggies. I didn't care for this too much. It was a tad too strong.
A humus-like dish we dipped with pita bread... It was okay. Could have lived my life just fine knowing that I haven't had it.
Mantee's King's Delight. This tasted like the fillet migon slices that is a popular Chinese and Vietnamese dish. This was pretty good. Portions were just too small here.
This was a sort of baked cheese dish we had that was paired with our pita bread. Eh....
Here was the famous dish-mantee baked with yogurt on top. This was the only dish that really did it for me. This was basically like really yummy pasta baked in yogurt. It was delicious. Too bad their portions were super small. I wish I could have returned everything else on the table and just had this!
Overall, I was pretty disappointed with the place. The mantee with yogurt was the only dish I would consider going back for which is a shame since I usually love Mediterranean food. I also wish we ordered something more typical like a kabob. Yelp has failed me this time. They really need to redeem themselves. Hmph!
Happy Eatings! I will be blogging from Hong Kong soon!
