All Hail Black Rice
Friday, August 26, 2005
I passed by this place many times. Wanting to check it out. The decor is wonderfully warm and inviting.
Dinner for two. We shared some appetizers. Pretty good stuff. But more than anything we couldn't wait to try the drunken chicken. It sounded divine. And our server gushed about it.
SALTY! Oh man was it ever salty! I loved the way they prepared the chicken by frying it 1st. To keep it crispy, and then smothered it in sauce. But it was oh so salty! I think it was MSG city, cause I got a bad headache later.
The black rice she suggested to accompany our meal was the best thing we had. So good, that I went out, bought some at Uwajimaya's and attempted to recreate it. I think I've finally got it down.
My curiosity has been quelled.
