It’s getting late and after a flurry of visiting old friends and fancy restaurants, I am finally kicked loose with no clear itinerary, hungry, but tired, too early to go to bed, but too late to call old friends, so I stumble into Charlie Hong Kong’s which looks like a love child of Blade Runner and
I had the Gado Gado w/ Hoison Pork. It had lots of peanut sauce and was very filling. The pork was very soft and tasty. Lots of green onions and peanuts too which added to the meal.

Confession: I love junk food. Now this food is anything but junk - fresh, local, high-quality ingredients. At the same time, however, it satisfies my craving for something fast and flavorful. It's plant-based, hyper-local, healthy fare that's satisfying and uniquely Santa Cruz. If you spend any time
My go to spot in Santa Cruz for takeout. A friend showed me this place years ago and I make sure to stop by every time I visit the area. Best rice bowls and Spicy Dan ever! They also carry Boylan's root beer
Sorry, no photos this time, but this place is awesome. Do not come here if you do not like strong 💪🏼 flavors... the food here reminds me of street food (hawker center) in Singapore, with the proper amounts of flavor and heat (FINALLY!). Nothing is held back, which is EXACTLY the way it should be. ❤️

Got spicy dan with chicken so good love getting it everytime we go. Can't wait to go back again
