| - My lord. The barbequed meats are to die for. We stopped in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon, and sadly, they were sold out of the pork ribs. We went for just the pork. So glad we did. Sweet, spicy, smoky -- everyone was there.
We were seated near the pick up counter for bbq, and they were doing brisk business with the local Asian population. Every few minutes, someone would come by and order a duck, or a piece of pork. I am not at all surprised.
To follow, we ordered a medium egg drop soup. It was humungous! The fish bowl sized serving could have easily served four. It was also quite delicious. Good and eggy, without being goopy.
Finally, we enjoyed some beef chow fun with XO sauce. Oh my. It kind of reminded me of my beloved pad kee mao, without the Thai flavors of basil and anise. The dish consisted of broad rice noodles in a spicy brown sauce, with thin, tender slices of beef, and green onions. I wished I had more room in my belly in which to fit it.
In addition to our delicious entrees, the little things were just right too. The rice was perfectly sticky. The tea, warm and toasty. I think it might had been hoji-cha.
The icing on the cake was the bill. For such wonderful food, served in such generous portions, our bill was $31 for two people. Not only that, it's about 2 miles from my house. I am truly on cloud nine.
