"The vacation to Cabo ate up more of your bank account than you expected, so now it’s time to pinch some pennies. Head to Mutiara, a family-run Burmese restaurant and one of the most affordable spots in Inglewood. Whether it’s a giant plate of mee goreng (spicy fried noodles), lamb kebabs, or some of the best beef rendang we’ve eaten in LA, almost everything on Mutiara’s menu falls roughly between $5-10. That definitely softens the blow of six days’ worth of $23 pina coladas." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, nikko duren
