7 ICONIC FOOD OF LOS ANGELES #GerzAdventureInAhMeiLiKa
Hello Readers!
So today I will be sharing about the Food I Tried and Tasted and find it ICONIC in Los Angeles, California, United States of America.
I think I am not a foodie per say but I have a working taste buds, I don’t really enjoy eating so it’s really hard to get me to eat unless the food is really interesting or cool. But the food I introduced below are introduced to me by my Tinkerbell friends when I ask them to suggest FOOD I should have when I am in LA!
I trust their recommendation and so here I am to share it with you.
Anyway, they are ranked based on Taste & Novelty which is judged by me. But I will add a side note by Casper whereby he will tell you guys whether if he thinks it’s “WORTH IT” based on Value.
For me, if it’s nice, I don’t mind paying because I am not the one paying, Casper (Husband) is the one footing the bill so he will decide whether is it worth the PRICE TAG!! CHA-CHING CHA-CHING!! LOLS!!!
Number 7: Cupcake ATM
Yes, you read it correctly it’s an ATM which dispense CUPCAKES! So basically you can get cupcake 24/7! I am not sure if the cupcake is fresh a not because we can’t see when they prepare it but I think it should be replenished daily.
It’s an innovation by Sprinkles Cupcake a very famous cake shop in America and well, I ordered the Birthday Cake Cupcake and I think it’s too sweet for my liking. I wouldn’t complain about the price as it’s America and Beverly Hills and then it’s in an ATM which is pretty cool but I won’t take another bite again. Maybe not this flavour but other flavours.

Gerlyn: 6/10 | Casper: ★★☆☆☆ (Not Worth)
Taste is abit too sweet but novelty is cool!!!
Number 6: In & Out Burger
I was told that I definitely must try In & Out Burger “Animal Style” Burger. I was told it’s a Secret Menu Item. But I think the mustard is a little too much and the burger is quite sourish, not my liking because I prefer a more sweeter and juicy patty.
But actually, I was more in love with their Strawberry Shake than the Burger. I will definitely go back for more Secret Menu Items and to try their Vanilla Shake in future.

Gerlyn: 7/10 | Casper: ★★★☆☆ (Average)
Number 5: Mrs. Knotts Chicken Dinner Restaurant
Honestly speaking, THE PORTION IS WAYYYYY TOOO BIGGGGG!! Worthwhile, and worth every single pennies but we gotta take them away and finish them in Day 2.
My favourite is the dessert! Boysenberry pie & boysenberry sherbet! The chicken is tender, fresh, juicy and delicious. Definitely will visit Knotts Berry Farm Theme Park for this again!
Address: 8039 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90620, USA
FYI, the restaurant is outside the park hence you do not need an ticket. But the park itself is worth a visit and I will share about the park another day. It’s pretty awesome if you are a snoppy lover!!!!
Gerlyn: 8/10 | Casper: ★★★★★ (Worth it)
Number 4: Pink’s Hot Dogs
I think it’s recommended by Nicole Fox (Tinkerbell friends). I was told to order their Chili dog Bun.
We didn’t especially try to look for a store because we are not a hot dog fan. But when we visited Universal Studios Hollywood, we saw “Ehhhh, this signboard seems familiar…” Upon checking we realised it’s the famous Pink’s Hot Dog!!!
Frequented by many celebrities! I heard of the long queues but lucky for us, there is no queue when we visited.
It’s not too expensive in my opinion but trust me…..
IT’S SUPERRR YUMMYYY!!! If I am going back to LA, Pink’s Hot Dog, I will definitely come back for you!!!! I am craving for it right now…. NOOOOOOOOO~~

Number 3: Cheesecake Factory
As the name CHEESECAKE FACTORY suggest, I swear that they are not even stingy about cheese.
As a crazy cheese lover, very often I will find myself emptying the bottle of parmesan cheese. But Cheesecake Factory won’t give me that opportunity!!!
We also had Oreo Cheesecake for dessert to celebrate our Anniversary.
The chocolate is very rich and the cheese is nothing but delicious…
Love everything on the Menu but it’s pretty pricey so we shared a pasta together but very filling even though we order 1 portion!
Address: 364 N Beverly Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, USA
Gerlyn: 10/10 | Casper: ★★★★★ (Worth it)
Number 2: Zia Valentina
This is my favourite and trust me, we came all the way to the Farmers Market just for this….
It’s actually a coffee in a cone or biscuit cup, waffle cup / waffleshots.
We ordered Hot Milk because of my condition can’t have any caffeine and the doting husband decided to get something I could drink.
It’s super yummy and filling super innovative and it’s actually environmental friendly because we can eat our cups!!!
Gerlyn: 11/10 | Casper: ★★★★☆ (Worth it)
Number 1: Amorino Gelato
We came especially for this Rose Petal gelato which is going crazy all over Social Media.
It’s very exciting to see how the staff put in every little effort to craft every single gelato into a pretty rose.
I choose mango, butterscotch, and raspberry. So it’s a little sour but I really like the gelato so much.
Pretty isn’t it??? It’s so beautiful to even be eaten!!!
Let’s take more selfie before we devour this beauty!
