Paiche@Marina del Rey ★★★

Impressive Peruvian Fusion with a Blend of Japanese. Same owner as Picca and Mo-Chia. Unusual foods that tasted fantastic. Tapas style. 3-4 dishes per person recommended, one from each category. Uni dishes were excellent. Uni Shrimp Toast & Uni Risotto (with crispy surprise) are must-try. Definitely try their signature Amazonian fish Paiche, which looked and tasted like Short Rib. Aioli looked like Baked Cheese. Reminded me of Molecular Gastronomy. Lobster Fried Rice was a bit salty. Great friendly service.

The Bazaar@Beverly Hills ★★★

Service is Really Slow for dineLA! Yes, making reservation for dineLA@The Bazaar is overwhelming. Have to reserve weeks or months ahead, but the food is fantastic. The "Magic Mojito" is fun. It came in a glass with cotton candy that "disappeared" after the waiter poured mojito in it. It's expensive, but good that the alcohol is on the stronger side. Everything was super great, except for the Sautéed Shrimp. The shrimp was mediocre. The dishes were a bit of a wait. dineLA is $45 per person, and you will leave hungry.

Great Tapas Place to Hang Out, but Chef Zadi is now gone... The brik (Alegerian/ Tunisian turnover) were wonderful. I have got a Thrillist Rewards coupon: $32 for Endless Sangria & 3 Tapas of your choice. Interesting collaboration: the chef is French, the waiter is Spanish, and the owner is Korean. The waiter, Gustavo, was really fun and friendly. You can speak Spanish with him.
