In between classes, library study sessions, and tests, I had 20 minutes to grab dinner last week before my 6:30 Gastronomy test. I was contemplating eating cereal and not bothering to get a meal but I am so glad I didn't do that! Kashi heart to heart would been so sad compared to this fabulous dinner! Unfortunately I had to inhale it in about 10 minutes after waiting in line but it was well worth it.
I started (very quickly) with the summer rolls filled with shrimp, ginger, scallion, and the wonderfly bright spicy chilled dipping sauce you see on the plate. I then moved on to the yellow asian slaw. I couldn't tell you what it was or what vegetable was used, but it was pickeled with sesame seeds and great. The lettuce on the left side had mint and various herbs wraped within the cucumber and I used it to "mop up" (as my dad would say) the rest of the spicy sauce from under the summer rolls. MMMMM.
After the first plate I moved on to a cup of tom yum soup with fragrant lemongrass, chili flakes, shrimp, and a sour hint of lime.
On to the main dish in the second photo. Barbeque baby back ribs that fell off the bone and melted in your mouth. With the spicy hoisin and big pieces of peanuts in the sauce I was in heaven. Ate with my hands and loved every minute of it. (The dish was called "street food" after all so aren't you supposed to use your hands?)
The ribs were followed by a chicken meatball, grilled on a ginger skewer with scallions and finally small beef fried won tons with another spicy dipping sauce. Oh my!
All in all, a fab meal!
