We had a delicious evening at Little Saigon. The poor service didn’t bother me as much as it bothered the Perlows. I was happy to have three hours to try the mulitude of dishes that we ordered. My one complaint besides having to ask for water etc. was that the napkins were pitifully thin. If you are going to have cloth tablecloths then have cloth napkins. This is a partial list of the items we had and I starred my favorites: Summer rolls Spring rolls *Crispy fried crepe *Fried sticky rice balls with roasted chicken Crab and young asparagus soup (didn’t taste this) Pho Tai (sliced rare beef noodle soup) *Saigon Shrimp and pork rice noodle soup *Stir fried egg noodles with seafood Fried rice with ? (chicken, beef or pork) Sauteed chicken with satay sauce *Sauteed beef lemongrass with clear vermicelli in curry sauce *Grilled lemongrass ginger beef *Crispy salted shrimp Buttered frogs (menu description not mine) *Sautéed mustard greens *Seaweed and tofu salad Durian (awful smelling not bad tasting but I never need to go near this drink again) Vietnamese hot and iced coffee with condensed milk Homemade flan And a tremendous THANK-YOU to Jason and Rachel who so expertly ordered for us.

Thanks for the posting FatFrankNJ and welcome to eGullet.

Happy New Year to all. How was your evening? We stayed home and watched two movies.

There will be info on Table Hopping 1/12 about the new dinner menu at Raymond's. They wanted a quiet "opening" of their new dinner menu.

HMMM! This would be a fun place to have an impromtu dinner.

Welcome to eGullet hollydebra. Let us know where you do like to dine.

What are you doing? Going out for dinner? Staying home?

Call Jack Coopers in Tano Mall, Edison and see if they have challah.

I had so many wonderful foods cross my mouth that I can't even start to list them. However, the cheese and bread from Bobolink as well as Fink's roasted pig were memorable.

Dr. Lowell says that you need a Federal Stamp to get 100% grain alcohol. Chemistry supply places sell it. Also, 95% grain alcohol which is available usually has some chemicals in it making it undrinkable. Your best bet is to buy the "drinkable alcohol" in a liquor store.
