Ginger Asian Cuisines (Becoming a Favorite!)

Before her mom and daughter went back home, Jay and Ken visited Ginger Asian Cuisines, Medford, NJ, on Friday, December 27, 2013. Once again, we were pleased with our meal.

We love the fried noodles with hot mustard and sweet and sour sauce:



Appetizers:


Coconut shrimp with honey wasabi sauce - HUGE shrimp, lightly breaded. Very tasty.



Veggie spring rolls - Mom and Ken enjoyed their spring rolls.



Vietnamese Beef with Grape Leaves -still the BEST ever!



Vietnamese Grilled Shrimp with Sugar Cane - we munched on the sugar cane afterwards. So good!


Chanelle enjoyed the Egg Drop Soup.

Entrees:

Ken had the Korean BBQ beef - he devoured it. Although it was spicy, he kept munching on the hot peppers!


Jay had the Korean Stir Fried Pork in Hot Sizzling Plate - flavorful and delicious!


Chanelle enjoyed the half duck - she made Chinese burritos!



Mom had the Pad Thai. There was so much, she took half home.


Mom enjoyed the tiramisu for dessert:



Refreshing honeydew and fortune cookies:

We will return. It's very convenient and there's so much more on the menu to try.
The tempura looks tasty and there's Hawaiian chicken, which comes in a half pineapple.

Vientiane Cafe and Vietnam Cafe (2 for 1!) - Not Jersey, but who cares? So GOOOOOD!

In spite of the forecast for snow, Jay and Ken ventured to Philadelphia to lunch with friends, Karin and George. We had a most wonderful time!

We started at Vientiane Cafe for appetizers, which we enjoyed with our white wines.

Duck spring rolls and Vietnamese Naam Salad - so flavorful and addictive!


Shrimp spring rolls with two different sauces - yum!


Tom Yum soup with shrimp - spicily delicious!


Beef jerky - yes, we said it! Awesome!


Shrimp skewers - not on the menu. Ask for it. Very tasty.


Sticky rice and mango. Refreshing end to a meal!



We then ventured to Vietnam Cafe, 816 South 47th Street, Philadelphia, PA,  for the rest of our meal, which we enjoyed with our red wines at Karin and George's. What a wonderful way to spend time with friends!

 Charbroiled pork with broken rice. The best that we have tasted! Love broken rice. You must try it!


The crunchiest, spring rolls ever! So tasty!


Grape leaves - very good, but not as good as Ginger's! Sorry Vietnam Cafe.

No need for dinner. LOL

We will do this again! Looking forward to next month's adventure!
