For our monthly lunch with friends, Karin and George, we met them at
JJ Thai Cuisine, 2028 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103 (215-568-7058). We had a wonderful time, and enjoyed a 3+ hour lunch! You can't go wrong with any the dishes offered here! Beautiful presentations!
Tippy and Mind were very attentive and pleasant:
We shared appetizers (normally 3 come per order, but they made exceptions)...
Curry puff - puff pastry, minced chicken, onion, potato and curry powder. Very flavorful. The cucumber sauce was a nice accompaniment.
Money Pouch - crispy pastry filled with minced pork and shrimp. So tasty!
Duck Ravioli - mushroom, duck and veal demi glace, truffle oil, red wine reduction. Yum!
Shrimp and Crab Roll - addictive!
Flavorful Pureed Tomato Soup - So good that Jay neglected to take a picture!
and entrees...
Pan Seared Scallops - with spinach, asparagus and garlic sauce. Scallops were cooked to perfection, and the vegetables were amazing!
Massaman Short Ribs - Angus short rib, gold potato, pear onion, cashew nut, brussel sprouts and massaman curry. Nice, hearty dish.
The creme brulee was excellent! Warm custard and crunchy topping. Perfection!
Wines enjoyed:
Nice people, delicious food, and good times!
The decor was inviting. Bathrooms were clean.
Even the sugar/substitute container was classy...
