Christmas has come early for westside ice cream lovers now that a second location of the ultra popular Scoops is open in the Palms area. It’s called Scoops Westside (natch), and in addition to serving 7 flavors of ice cream delivered directly from the original location on Heliotrope (brown brown bread FTW!), they also have Intelligentsia coffee, and you can follow them on Twitter. For this weeks Tuesday Profile we asked owner Matt Kang to give us his recommendations for lunch around his brand new baby (on Overland just south of the 10.)
Name: Matthew
Age: 26
Occupation: Ice cream shop proprietor
Where in L.A. do you Work?: Scoops Westside, Palms
Favorite Kind of Food: Kimchi fried rice, Korean BBQ, durian, tacos al pastor, steak florentine, roast chicken, hakata style ramen, pastrami sandwich, ice cream (naturally), pappardelle bolognese, saffron risotto, Thai boat noodles, banh mi, pozole, goat birria tacos, margherita pizza, burgers
Least Favorite Kind of Food: bread and butter pickles
Favorite Place(s) to Eat Lunch: Simpang Asia (10433 National Boulevard, Palms). The nasi bunkus is great. I honestly want to try everything on the menu because I love Indonesian food. The beef brisket sandwich at Western Smoke House (10640 Woodbine St) is terrific and it’s super convenient because it’s just one door down from my shop. I’ve also had fairly decent pizza at Kristina’s Italian Kitchen across the street but it’s nowhere near a great pizza. Victor’s Deli (10002 National Blvd) has good BBQ beef and BBQ chicken sandwiches at a good price.
