Wonton/Dumpling wrappers?

What type do you use the square or the round? The round ones are mostly for making pot stickers/ Gyoza and are a little thicker. The square ones are thinner depending on the company like Dynasty.
A single wrapper is all that's needed to wrap a teaspoon of the pork/ shrimp mixture and sealing the sides with water making sure there is no air in them.

This help whether you simmer them in soup or fry in oil.

As for using 2 wrappers like ravioli that's ok too. Just make sure no air is in side when sealing the edges. The air tends to unravel the wrapper.

Here's a tough one -- Any decent Vietnamese, aside from pho, in or near the South Bay?

You're talking about PHO Consomme on Redondo Bch Blvd next ot Firestone. It's pretty good . Better than PHO SO 1 in Tozai Plaza on the corner of Redondo and Western.

They don't know where to shop or eat ! ! !

No, complainng that people go to ethnic restaurants and instead of tasting that culture's food they try to make it Haole by putting ketchup on what they order. I had friends that did that, disgusting.
By the way I like shoyu on my rice and even with gravy on it.
Nuuanu YMCA in the 60's, 5 cents for one scoop rice with gravy.

I don't think you would see Caan and Handler dining anywhere south of Santa Monica,. Like Hawaii the South Bay area has a wide variety of World foods available...Hawaiian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Iindian, Thai, Mexican, Cuban., Italian, etc..

You know it's tough when you order teriyaki chicken and the restaurant doesn't have ketchup...

Paying for food at Memorial Service

Never heard of this in all of the gatherings after the funerals I've attended for just about every religion or ethnic group. Usually it 's a pot luck or the family picks a restaurant to gather at and pays for it. Usually donations help defray the cost.

Moderately priced interesting food in the South Bay.

How about Gina Lee's Bistro in Redondo Beach or Restaurant Christine in Torrance. Christine's maybe a little high priced but still great food.

Roy's or other Hawaiian food in the L.A. area?

Bruddahs for the kalua pork. Last time I went it wasn't dry. Most places make it dry. It should be moist.
Both Bruddahs and Bob's have laulau with the trimmings..lomi rice and poke.
Bob's on sundays have hawaiian music for the lunch crowd and gets crowded.
Kings, Loft and Back Home on Sepulveda serve about the same kalua pork and Laulau. Most serve with rice and lomi and with mac or cabbage salad. Choices for laulua are pork, chicken or beef and should have butter fish in it.
I only like Kings for their bakery, but if desparate would go.

I would recommend ordering laulau and kalua pork dishes so they can taste both. As far as the rest of what people consider hawaiian food are Hawaiian fried (karaage) and teriyaki chicken, oxtail soup, kalbi, Hawaiian royal,. portuguese sausage.

Loco moco, spam musubi and saimin were originally from hawaii.
As for as Loco moco, I prefer mine with portuguese sausage patties instead of the hamburger, grilled onions on 2 scoops of rice covered with gravy and 2 fried eggs. I go to Gardena Bowl for their version.

There Bob's Hawaiian Style on Western Ave and Bruddah's on Gardena Blvd. Both in Gardena.
Now when you say Hawaiian Food is it the Laulau, poi, lomi salmon, Kalua pork or the other asian food that people may deem Hawaiian?

Looking for good quality supermarket sushi? Go to Tozai Market (SGV)

Would Sushi Boy be included in this as they are mostly located in Super Markets like Marukai?

Your whole roast pig options in L.A. (fresh and pre-roasted included)

Kings Hawaiian Bakery and Restaurant must have changed their policy, as I had one done about 6 yeqars ago. Maybe it was not cost effective for them so the policy was changed.
Oh well.

Rice - How did you experience it today?

wash 2 cups Calrose Shirakiku Brand white rice mixed with 1 cup Nishiki brown rice in a Zojirushi rice cooker. Let soak for 1 hour to soften grains. Cook.

Put 2 scoops of rice on a plate, top with grilled onions, 2 patties of hamburger or portugese sausage. Cover with brown gravy and top with fried egg.

Plastic Grocery Bag Ban - what do you do about meat?

If they get wet they thicken everything into gravy.
They still have them. I use them in a mini pail for vegetables and egg shells for composting.
