Pho Xinh (Vietnamese)

Back to Pho Xinh for lunch today. Love this place!

A1 spring rolls; A6 summer rolls with BBQ pork and A10 beef wrapped in grape leaves - everything tasted especially good today, for some reason.

Ken ordered M3 - crispy egg noodle with beef and vegetables. He enjoyed it thoroughly.

Jay ordered M11 - pad thai with tofu. Delicious! Half went home for dinner tonight.

Jay also ordered the honey dew shake, which she loves. This time it came with the bubbles (gelatin), which were really fun to sip through the straw.

Barnacle Ben's (Seafood) - New Location!

After receiving a gift card to Barnacle Ben's, we visited today for lunch at their new location: 200 Larchmont Boulevard, Mount Laurel, NJ, (856-235-5808). It was smaller than their previous location, but very well decorated.

There were only two servers, but service was still good. Unfortunately, there didn't appear to be anyone else around to bus tables, so many were left unattended.

We ordered the coconut shrimp as an appetizer. The four jumbo shrimp were very good and just enough.

Ken ordered the seafood crepe - shrimp, scallops and lobster in a champagne sauce. He ordered fries and wild rice as his vegetables. He said the crepe was delicious and just the right size.

Jay ordered the seafood newburg - crab, shrimp and scallops in a pink sherry sauce. It was delicious as usual and a nice portion. She took home part of her vegetables - sweet potato fries and cole slaw.

Food was good. We may return for lunch.

No wine, but the raspberry iced tea that Jay had was refreshing. Ken had root beer (his standby).

IndeBlue (Indian)

We're back! IndeBlue has moved across the street in Collingswood to a bigger, better facility (former Blackbird location).

We met our friends Karin and George and had a fantastic lunch!

We love the shrimp kaliwada and got two orders, plus an order of garlic naan.

Three of us ordered from the March special menu:

Jay and Karin and the Lamb Do Pyaza - delicious, tender and flavorful.

George had the crab cakes, but asked for them as an entree portion.

Ken ordered from the regular menu - seafood platter, which he enjoyed immensely.
