Eponymous Golden Duck Plate

Golden Duck Plate
This is the Golden Duck Plate ($9.75) from, well, Golden Duck.  Clockwise from upper right:  Cold Ginger Chicken, Roast Duck, Fried Rice, (Char Siu) Pork Chow Min, Crispy Gau Gee (center).  All on an old school melamine plate.  Curiously, the Fried Rice and Chow Min are under salted, but it's nothing a little shoyu and mustard won't cure.

Silliness

This is the Chicken Cutlet Plate from Anykine Grill :

Silly!
Okay, the extra scoop of mac salad is a gift from Tree-nah, who, inexplicably, does not eat mac salad(!).

Anykine was supposed to be closing at the end of April, but, as of May 1, was still in business.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Super Cha Cha Cha!
Umami and Elle celebrated a Cinco de Mayo last night at Cha Cha Cha Salsaria, or, as Umami likes to call "ChaX3."  Food there is a fun mix of Mexican and Carribbean flavors.  It also has a large tequila and rum menu, which is neat.

Umami went for the Super Cha Cha Cha plate ($14.95), which has two enchiladas, one beef and one chicken, and a soft flour chicken taco.  With refried beans and rice (hiding under the taco), it makes for quite a spread.  The kicker here is that the shredded beef has some real chile flavor . . . nothing mild here!  It would make an excellent beef chili.

With a generous sized House Margarita ($5.50) and nice table by the water, it's a fine evening.
