Kuma Inn



Uriel, GM of Kuma Inn came in last week to try our haus bao, chairman bao and bao fries. Hung out for a while and invited us over to Kuma Inn. I'd been trying to go for a while but just never made it for various reasons. Its BYOB which is dope so I swung by September Wines which is a good spot if you're in the LES. They were actually our first delivery customers ever so we try to support!

The food at Kuma was full of 3rd world flavor. I loved it. Anyone who knows me knows, this is the highest compliment I'll pay a restaurant. They really pull it off. Clean, fun, smartly laid out restaurant that feeds 100 people a night using a 20 sq ft kitchen. I love that there are people like Kuma Inn offering an atmosphere that's fun to hang out at while not serving compromise asian fusion crap. The items not to miss are the Lechon Kawalli (fried pork belly), steamed and fried rice crepes with kumabolognese (reminded me of the taiwanese dish ants on a tree), Adobong Pal Chicken wings. Tell Uriel we sent you! And big up to another restaurant giving young people a cool place to see Asian food evolve while paying respecting traditional palettes.

Pork Fat is Forever



We got them slabs. Whatchu need? bbbrrrrrrrrr (*bird call*)

NY Times Photoshoot



DOPE! A photographer for the NY Times came by last Monday to check out the bao fry epidemic we're starting. Pork Crack is definitely taking its toll on the neighborhood as well. Once the peanuts of mass destruction catch on, this will look like the LES 80s all over again, BONG.



The homies Tyler, Dustin, Johan, and Cheetarah came through as well.



I was dressed for the occasion. What up Brooklyn! "T-bone steak, cheese eggs, and welch's grape..." Foodie shirts are wack, but big poppa is STILL what's hot in the streets. BONG.

Oxtail Beef Noodle Soup @ Baohaus!!!




Tomorrow and Thursday (both days soup will be made fresh) come and try our Oxtail Noodle Soup! If there's other stuff you wanna see at the restaurant from the blog, let a brotha know! I do the noodle soup using oxtails for the base and chunks of Prime Shoulder. It stews for hours with peppers, ginger, and green onions until the meat falls apart. Definitely food porn level shit.
