tonight jon & i took a vacation down south.. to apple valley.
we started in eagan at red square deli & ring mtn.. but were uninspired.
alas, we ended up at a much better place. satay2go.
what was NOT to love about this place. the owner and his explanation of the menu? no, we loved him! his children with the bouncyball watching doromon cartoons? no, equally excellent. the fact that we got this mornings butterfly bun for half price=killer.
the food we ordered? yeah, that'd be phenomenal.

jon: Nasi Lamak. simple looking, excellent tasting. reminded me of singapore, but also kinda aribel's.. which i totally wimped out on today w.timo & ryan (oh so glad). big juicy chunks of chicken & potatoes served with rice spiked with coconut and hard boiled egg ! it was nice. too curry for me, but good for jon since i'd never make it for him :-0.
i: mee rebus, vegetarian style. oh my gosh.. nothing but good words. beautiful dish that tasted better than it looked. big fat noodles (fat, not wide), in a tasty 'potato gravy', that is actually.. SWEET POTATOES. hello beautiful. it was a bit spicy, but mostly tasty. probably had some cabbage and whatnot inside of the broth. a *little* coconut milk (maybe even a little more than i'd want, but it tasted so nice).. lots of onions, and an egg! oh yeah, crispy garlic, too. yeah, it was nice. looking forward to the rest for lunch someday soon.
must take my parents here sometime.. or everyone.
