VILLAGE EATS March 3 2010
Back in college, I had a side bartending gig. There was one professor who would hire me to serve drinks at his house parties. He would pay in cash, and as a bonus, he’d add gift certificates to his restaurant, House of Chandara, in Larchmont Village. It was an upscale, Zagat rated, Yelp loved, Thai joint (though their sign says Siamese), nothing compared to the usual hole-in-the-walls I frequented then. It quickly became one of my favorite places. But when I moved out of the LA area and back into the valley, I stopped going there. Then we met again this weekend.
Everything is exactly how I left it. The food, the good looking staff, and the hip, young crowd. But let’s get back to the food. I tried something new, and Chris and Christine tried something I hadn’t had either (I usually stick to the seafood rad-na, spicy catfish, and thai toast). It was all very good. I mean, sticky rice inside a coconut?? See for yourself.
