Recently, they even have the curtain down in front of the front door. I'm not sure why--you have to open the door and then brush open the curtain to get inside. It's Pittsburgh--I don't think it's that bright outside. \n\nIt's a pan-Asian restaurant with a variety of curry, fried rice, and meat dishes to choose from. \n\nRecommended:\nPad Thai--very filling and nice spices, though could use more shrimp.\nMalasian Sate Chicken with spicy peanut sauce--pretty nice sauce, though the chicken could have used some more browning. \nIndonesian Festival Fried Rice--fresh cucumber with stir-fried vegetables and some coconut milk. Very filling. \nJava Fried Rice--very nice blend of bell peppers, chicken, shrimp, with sweet soy sauce. It's garnished with egg strips and onion.\n\nOK: my main objection to some of the meat dishes is that there are just meat and coconut rice. It would certainly be nice if there were some more vegetables to accompany these. \nBurmese Fried Rice: there are some shrimp, but overall, a little bland.\nMango Pork--I'd like a little stronger mango flavor. \nCurry Chicken--good chicken, but the dish is mainly just chicken with a variety of spices and herbs\nFive Spiced Chicken--I like the spices on this chicken, but there is just some lettuce as garnish, and could use something on the side\nMalaysian Sate Chicken on skewers: nice browning and marinated chicken with some peanut sauce\n\nThere's a different soup of the day. Tuesday is hot and sour soup. It's been a little off the past couple of weeks. Thursday, they have soto curry, an Indonesian soup with beef and coconut milk. This soup is delicious. \n\nThe hot tea is recommended as well, especially on cold days. \n\nWe frequently take visitors here for lunch."^^ . . "2010-11-05T00:00:00"^^ . . .
