I took a friend's daughter there for dinner recently and she remarked that her dish had the perfect amount of spicy heat. Contrariwise, my ladyfriend ordered Pad Woon Sen there at medium heat and it burned her mouth up real good. "Well, I can't complain about it as I knew the place is called Hot 'n Spicy when I walked in," she admitted.
That place has quickly become a favorite.
When I couldn't indulge in pho, I went with wonton soup. This is a generous helping of the stuff from a Chinese joint at Global Market's food hall the name of which I cannot recall. Tasty but I wouldn't have minded more - much more - baby bok choy.
While it hasn't been 90 degrees out, I have nonetheless been trying to avoid cooking inside which means grilling outside. Here's chicken with Thai cucumber salad that I made.
Pork chops seasoned with that Cherry Bomb seasoning that I've mentioned previously.
My ladyfriend assembled chicken kabobs one evening and I cooked them up fine.
Walleye with green beans. I would like to get one of those tray hoolies so I don't have to wrap fishes up in foil for grilling.
I finally busted out the BBQ rub I bought in Albuquerque.
The chops turned out well. A little heat but nothing deadly. Instead just good red chili flavor.
Tangent: I was in a store recently and saw Hatch chili something or other and I immediately had a flashback to Albuquerque.
Spring rolls from Hot & Spicy. Mmm...
Lastly, the pollo soup from La Pollera Colombiana on East Wash. Simple yet delicious. Plenty of chicken along with potatoes and carrots. Good basic food. The staff there that night were quite friendly and our server was happy to let my ladyfriend ply her limited Spanish on her. Also of note was the football game on the TVs. When Brazil scored, the announcer yelled "GOOOOOAL!!" for about 15 seconds. Twice. Great food, great people, great atmosphere.
