On this particular lovely June day Yarom and I ventured into the SGV to try out some experimental places on our vast list.
First up was Nature Pagoda which specializes in a sort of “herbal” Chinese medicine focused “healthy” food.
The interior is, shall we say, minimalst.
There are a few pictures behind the counter.
And the menu.
Flamed Quails — pretty good, if slightly dry.
Stick Combo — okay satay. Nothing great.
Claypot Ribs with Preserved Sausage — interesting. Kinda mild, but tasty.
The jus.
Brown sauce is dumped over it. Not as sweet as I would expect.
Not exactly expensive, but overall I thought that Nature Pagoda was bland. Maybe Chinese health food is just like American!
