What's for Dinner, Sat., April 20, 2019

[NJCher]

We went to an unusual restaurant for an early dinner. It was a Thai organic chicken restaurant.

Items ordered:

Chicken satay
Pork satay
1/2 rotisserie chicken. The chickens are marinated with herbal rub which includes garlic, lemongrass, black peppercorn, palm sugar and coriander root.
The chicken comes with side dishes of papaya salad with peanuts, and sticky rice. Also 2 grilled kabobs of your choice.

The RG ordered "larb kai," which is minced chicken, red onion, cilantro , scallion and lime dressing. These came with bibb lettuce so they could be rolled up like a taco.

He also ordered another chicken dish which I can't remember the name of. It was very strongly flavored. I liked it but not as an entire dish. It would be best as an accent side dish.

For dessert I had fried banana and vanilla ice cream. The RG had tea ice cream.

We both had their Thai tea which was so unusual and interesting. They pour half 'n half in it and serve it over ice. Very distinctive taste. In fact almost every dish except for the jasmine rice had a distinctive taste.

3. Your Thai food all sounds delicious!

We were also eating light tonight in anticipation of a big meal tomorrow. So we had lentil tacos, with avocado, tomato, lettuce and all the fixings. The guys groaned about it before supper but they were pretty good.
