The General's Grub

After having a few Belgian beers at Lucky Baldwins we headed off to Thai Town, in the east edge of Hollywood boulevard, to a swarm of late night clubbers out for a quick grub at Sanamluang.  We got seated in under 5 mins.  The place was full and spilled out into the seats outside.  It is a very popular place, maybe because it is open very late until 4 am, or maybe because of it's close proximity to the clubs and bars in Sunset Blvd.  I would like to think it is because of their food.



The General's Noodle Soup  $ 6.50, is rumored to have been named after a Thai general who used to direct traffic in the parking lot on weekends.   The soup base is a clear , light amber, thin in density and rich in flavor.  Loaded with thin egg noodles cooked just the right amount, slices of charsiu pork, ground pork, roasted duck slices, and whole shrimps.  Topped with chopped scallions and wonderfully smokey roasted garlic bits.  Simply delicious.

Thanks H.C., just a heads-up, parking can be difficult at times, the place shares spaces with a few other stores and a Thai grocery.
