Green Eggs and Pan

If you want to finish with a sweet, I’d recommend the kalakan (a kind of yogurt cheesecake) or a bar of kulfi from the cooler, either the mango or pistachio. Recently, two young Paki-American friends convinced me to try the fresh pan that’s sold in small aluminum packets by the register. Pan is a kind of postprandial chaw, a leaf folded around seeds and beetlenut that’s at once so bitter, so salty, so sweet and spicy, that even this demure female restaurant critic began spitting like a fool — to the great amusement of her young friends. Takes the sting out of brunch.

Cha Cha Cha, 656 N. Virgil Ave., Los Angeles, (323) 664-7723. Jungle Brunch dishes, $4.25 to $9.50.
