Long weekend, new special.

If you’re off work for Labor Day, might as well spend it eating well. 😉

A note from Chef Ray:
“Nasi Goreng is a ridiculously flavorful fried rice dish from Indonesia; you could easily say that it is a national dish. The fried rice is flavored with a chili paste loaded with shallots, garlic, chilies, and shrimp paste. The shrimp paste has a pungent aroma that, once cooked down into the rice, adds an unbelievably rich umami flavor. We sauté it with shrimp and sweet soy sauce, then garnish it with bean sprouts, fresh cucumber, prawn chips, and a fried egg to make this a dish of texture as much as flavor. Also, to top it off, there is a dollop of tomato jam in the style of sambal, which adds a sweet and spicy complement to this dish.”

On the menu for exactly seven days. Miss it, and you’ll be thinking about it for the other 358.

See you tonight! 💛

“This week, our specials will be a fan favorite: Bang Bang Chicken, a cold Sichuan chicken dish made with tender shredded chicken breast tossed in a tangy, sweet sesame sauce that has flavors of Sichuan peppercorns, black vinegar, and toban. The salad is on top of a bed of shredded cucumbers and egg noodles. Then it is garnished with roasted peanuts and scallions.

West Avl, this one’s for you. 🍤

𝗛𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝗯𝗶 𝗞𝗮𝘁𝘀𝘂 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗵.

A note from Chef Ray:
“This week, I have a couple of exciting new specials, including a Japanese tomato salad that features the beautiful and tasty heirloom tomatoes of the last days of summer. These tomatoes are dressed with a citrusy ponzu, marinated wakame, pickled ginger, crushed sesame seeds, and a touch of sesame oil. If you love tomatoes, this is the dish for you!

The other special is a Japanese-inspired shrimp burger. The shrimp burger is coated in panko, then fried until golden brown and crispy, then glazed in our katsu sauce, topped with shredded cabbage and a Japanese tartar sauce made with fresh dill, pickled ginger, and minced boiled eggs to give it a rich and zesty flavor. All of this is sandwiched between soft Martin’s potato buns and served with prawn chips.”

Available starting tonight through next Thursday.
Let’s eat. 💛
