Not in Jersey, but worth a mention...
We met friends, Karin and George, for lunch Sunday, October 21, 2012, at
Circles, 821 North 2nd Street, in Northern Liberties, in Philadelphia, PA. It was worth the trip across the bridge...
We shared the following appetizers:
Crispy Calamari, cooked to perfection, served with a sweet and spicy chili sauce.
Crab Rangoon, lump crab and curried cream cheese with a sweet-plum sauce. The filling was so creamy and delicious!
Cheesesteak Rolls, rib-eye steak and sauteed onions with American and Provolone cheese. The name doesn't do it justice! The meat was tender and juicy and the spicy ketchup was wonderful.
Entrees:
You can choose spiciness - mild, medium, hot and Thai hot
Karin - Shrimp Pad Thai (medium)
Very tasty and not too spicy
She couldn't finish and took a portion home for dinner
George - Massaman Curry (medium)
Stewed tenderized pork (you can choose your meat) with potatoes, onions, peanuts and aromatic herbs. Jay finished his gravy, it was so good
Ken - Crab Fried Rice (medium) with lump crab, tomatoes, onions, peas, and carrots. He devoured the entire plate.
Jay - Thai Burrito (hot)
Grilled seitan, curry rice and edamame puree, served with seasonal greens. Delicious!
It was not so hot that you couldn't taste the food. She may try Thai hot next time...
Decor was beautiful and welcoming...
The Restroom was clean.
Wines enjoyed...
