Spoonhouse: Pasta, Japanese Style

The crusty and very chewy french bread
This salad is a buck!
My favorite little friendo
Carbonara Pasta

I had the opportunity to spend the day with Joni, Evan, and Chiyo today. We all went to Spoonhouse for lunch and then off to the Lakeshore Store in Carson for their annual sale and outlet center. Since Chiyo lives in Hawthorne, we decided to go to the Torrance/Gardena area of some lunch. I hadn't been to Spoonhouse for awhile so I am so glad to have gone back. It was just as I had remembered....perfectly cooked al dente pasta, crusty chewy french bread, and the dollar salad. I love Italian food, but hate those places like Macaroni Grill, Olive Garden etc. If you want some great tasting pasta, check this place out. They have some different, Japanese style pastas, like Tarako pasta, Natto pasta, Curry pasta, etc. I still never venture too far from either the Vongole Bianco (clams in wine sauce) or the Carbonara (cream, egg, and bacon sauce).

We also went to the Lakeshore Outlet Center and Store. It was so awesome! They had some great things on sale in the outlet center, but you did have to dig through some stuff. If you need toys or kids furniture for discount definitely check it out. I got some great things. Thanks Joni for taking me there and spending oodles of time browsing through everything.
