Borneo Kalimantan Cuisine: Every dish here is a flavor explosion. And then you get to dip roti in it?? The restaurant's a tiny bit hard to find, but ever so worth it.

House of Mandi: The bread, pictured above, is just heavenly and big enough to work as a wide-brimmed hat. Order a lamb dish and the mushakal okra (comes with ground beef and potatoes).

Omar's Halal: If you're not in a rush, get the big-plate chicken. I love this strange little restaurant that seems to have once been a house. The food is hearty, with a lot of noodles: perfect for this weather.

Izakaya Osen: This place clearly has a ton of funding, as it has about a million sister restaurants in Silver Lake alone. There's also an "investment" tab on the website. But the food is great, luckily enough. I'm a huge fan of all the vegetable dishes.

AJ's Tex-Mex & Barbeque: Get the chicken, brisket, collard greens, bbq beans, Mexican rice, and mac and cheese, and eat outside or in the bar next door. I've been here twice in two weeks.
