Verona Ristorante Italiano (Italian)

Our monthly lunch with Karin and George brought us to Verona Ristorante Italiano, 141 Kings Highway East, Haddonfield, NJ 08033 (856-446-2126). We enjoyed a leisurely 3 1/2 hour lunch on Saturday, September 21, 2019, from the dinner menu, because that's what we do.  It was such a beautiful day!

We shared everything! Andrew was a fantastic server!

Bread with Balsamic Vinegar and Olive Oil. The bread was crunchy outside, and tender inside. Warm and very good.


Calamari Frite - fried to perfection! The marinara sauce was very flavorful.


Gorgonzola Gnocchi - a little more dense than we're used to, but the gorgonzola sauce was addictive!


Penne Gamberi, penne pasta sautéed with peans and pancetta finished a vodka rose cream sauce - the dinner portion came with 4 large shrimp. Definitely worth ordering again.


Hot Italian Sausage Appetizer, with mixed mushrooms, shallots and lemon zest finished in a white wine sauce. Yum!


Veal Saltimbocca, veal sautéed with Prosciutto di Parma and sage finished in a red wine reduction - very good, but not sure we would order again, as we prefer either the Allora or Il Villaggio version. We selected roasted potatoes as a side.


Dessert was a nice ending to the meal. Cannoli with pistachio and creme brûlée, which was amazing!


Ken enjoyed a cup of coffee

Ginger Asian Cuisine

Thursday, September 12, 2019, brought Jay and Ken to Ginger Asian Cuisine, 7 Wilkins Station Road, Medford, NJ 08055, AGAIN. Still one of our favorites! We are always warmly greeted - feels like home!


Ken was hungry, so he enjoyed an order of ribs for an appetizer.



He selected the Rock and Roll Pork Special for an entree, which came with a spring roll. He was quite happy, especially with the fish sauce that he poured over the noodles and pork. A large salad and vegetables were included.



Jay enjoyed the Fish Katsu Dinner Box, which came with choice of soup (hot & sour, of course!), rice (brown was chosen), fried fish (crispy goodness), vegetables, spring roll, salad, and gyoza. Of course, she couldn't finish, and took the spring roll, salad, veggies, and rice home for next day's lunch.
