Lunch Special. You’ve got to appreciate this offering that in Asian restaurants can include a starter like this light soup with tofu, cabbage, and green onions.
And a spring roll stuffed with cabbage and carrots, to be dipped in fish sauce. Two items that were a bit uninspired, yes, so it’s a good thing I had more of my lunch special coming to me.
I don’t know about you, but the sight of spicy things like this chili paste sometimes makes me salivate just a little bit.
I didn’t actually use either of these condiments at the Vietnamese restaurant I ate at over the weekend. But they were sitting on the table and I wanted to photograph them and I’m a tease and… You can probably guess that I like all kinds of cuisines. But I’ve got to say, Indian is near the top of my favorite-cuisines list because it has some of my most-loved things to drink and eat ever, ever, ever.
Starting with fresh Mango Juice. I think the juice was from a red-skinned mango.
Garlic Naan garnished with fresh garlic and brushed with butter. I could eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And maybe dessert. I eat out maybe once a week. And it’s always something I look forward to, whether it’s a new-to-me dining establishment or one I’ve already visited dozens of times. Because, hello!, I don’t have to eat my own cooking. So yeah, I get a little excited about dining at restaurants. Or sometimes a lot excited, like when I go to Korean eateries.
The reason? The complimentary small dishes they give you before your entrée.
They make me wanna bounce in my seat. I haven’t been able to take nearly as many photos in the past several weeks as I normally have, because of poor lighting during the day and evening. So please indulge me as I supplement my usual mostly Asian-groceries posts with Asian meals-out ones. Because I’d rather give you some posts than no posts. Like a post with photos taken at a Japanese buffet restaurant to celebrate a friend’s birthday. There are few better ways to mark such an occasion than by eating lots and lots of food, right?
Korean Pancakes with julienned vegetables.
I thought they needed a few streaks of Sriracha, but sadly, the restaurant didn’t have any bottles of the red-hot goodness. |
