Since my first visit in 2009, I've been enamored with Rock Sugar. (For those of you who missed my previous posts, here are #1, #2, and #3) I wrote my first back to back posts on Rock Sugar because I just couldn't wait to go back to eat more and share the beautiful space and excellent food.
It's always comforting to go back to a favorite and find that it is still a favorite; as I found with A Food Affair recently :) Even though the Westfield Century City Mall was literally torn to the ground and rebuilt into a completely modern chic mecca of food and shopping (Eataly is now here), some of the older restaurants and stores remain in the same place and still draw their loyal clientele.
This water wall on the patio was a soothing sight on a busy week-end.
The most soothing of all is eating comfort food like Singaporean noodles with shrimp, done so perfectly that you have no desire to even attempt to recreate it at home. The balance of spices, textures, and seasoning was so completely satisfying that somehow we finished the plate even though we said we were full halfway through it.
The short rib banh mi was a nice counterpoint to the noodles, with slightly sweet beef, crunchy pickled vegetables, and a side salad with crispy taro strips.
Even the bathrooms are every bit as delightful as the food :)
The saddest part is leaving, but we must leave in order to return again :)
