DELISH DISH: bento box lunch at Mix Mix

March 24, 2017 Mad Hungry Woman Leave a Comment

Mix Mix Kitchen Bar in Downtown Santa Ana is one of my favorite restaurants right now — read my review here. Chef-owner Ross Pangilinan is one of the most creative chefs around, and this week, he has launched a new pop-up lunch concept — Mix Box Kitchen — featuring a 3-course lunch for $15.

A modern “bento box” featuring favorites from Chef Ross’ globally-inspired menu includes Pork Cheek Adobo — the accompanying garlic rice is amazing — House Made Chitarra “Carbonara” Pasta, and one of my favorites, Korean Marinated Grilled Chicken paired with kimchi fried rice.

Diners may choose an item from three sections to create the “bento box”. 

1. SALAD

Gem Lettuce – tangerine, cheddar, pepitas, pomegranate vinaigrette
Moroccan Carrot Salad – harissa yogurt
Caesar Salad – garlic croutons
Green Salad – grapes, apples, blue cheese, walnuts, green goddess
Farro Salad – lemon-herb dressing

2. SNACK

Tuna Poke “Nachos” – chicharrones, avocado, seaweed
Albacore Tostada – orange, Sriracha mayo, avocado
Roasted Cauliflower – gochujang, citrus, cashews
Roasted Trumpet Mushrooms – gremolata
Chorizo Potato Croquettes – lime jalapeño aioli

3. MAIN

Korean Marinated Grilled Chicken – kimchi fried rice
Miso Salmon – soy-ginger soba noodles
Pork Cheek Adobo – garlic fried rice, chimichurri, crispy shallot
House Made Chitarra “Carbonara” – spaghetti, guanciale, black pepper, parmesan
Stir Fried Tofu – market vegetables, garlic-ginger sauce

Mix Mix’s lunch pop-up is offered Tuesday through Friday from 11.30am to 2pm.

Local working professionals may utilize Downtown Santa Ana’s free Lunch Trolley to Mix Mix Kitchen Bar, which runs from 11.30am to 1.30pm Tuesday through Thursday.

About Me

This blog is a journal of mostly my eating adventures, but also, other things I'm passionate about, including travel, the arts, and also, necessities to complete my life. Centered predominantly in and around Orange County, CA, some will extend to Los Angeles, San Diego and beyond. I am constantly searching for delicious food to eat and fun things to do, nothing is out of bounds. Sometimes it doesn't end well, but I can definitely say, it will always be an interesting journey.
