This week's choice for Friday the 13th revolved around an unnecessary airport run. On our way back from Hawaii, we volunteered to get bumped from our flight in exchange for $500 vouchers on a future flight. It turns out that these vouchers: A) Can only be used if you purchase the ticket at the airport, and B) purchasing a ticket at the airport results in an additional $10 fee per ticket. Long story short, we had to go to the airport on Friday night to use our $480 vouchers for two future trips, and thus I decided to check out the LAX culinary scene with my SFR pick.
The look on Jessica's face when we pulled up to this place indicated that it was not the best choice. I'll admit I was surprised by the low key dive-ness of it, but it had an A in the window and the reviews were off the charts. She wasn't just skeptical of the location, as she also reminded me that after a Thai stop in Hawaii she decided she didn't really like Thai food anymore. I assumed it was just from our frequent partaking in it rather than a major revelation.
Anyways, in the end Ayara impressed us both. Great flavor, authentic dishes, and a spice factor that was off the charts. We even had some unintentional comedy from a family at a nearby table. The dad's meal was so spicy he was turning red and sweating as he sucked down beer after beer, while the son and mother practiced a warped form of lemaze breathing to cool off their mouths.
A few days later Jessica was raving about her leftovers, so it seems to be a winner, though probably reserved for our next airport trip.
Appetizer:
-Vegetable Rolls (best ever!)
Dinner:
-Jungle Curry with Beef
-Rice Dish with Tofu and Chilis (can't remember the exact name and no online menu)
Drinks:
-Sing Tao Beer
