Date #73
Tonight is my Chucky's birthday, but because he/we are so dedicated to date night and the rules, it's his turn tonight. We go to a great part of Portland called Sellwood, an old neighborhood with plenty of character like many old neighborhoods in Portland. Jade is his choice tonight, and there is a line up almost out the door. This is a good sign that this place is tasty, but a bad one when it's the type of restaurant that you have to wait until you order before you find a table. Not my favorite type of restaurant, but we did see a few that were ready to open up when we got to the cash register.
We started with salad rolls and peanut sauce for dipping. I love peanut butter, but not with savory food...I thought, but I was brave and dipped my salad roll into this sauce. It was spicy, and peanutty, but didn't taste like peanut butter, I thought this was an amazing combination.
Next I ordered shrimp with garlic, the neat and gross thing was they removed the shell from the shrimp, but it was still attached to the tail. This made the dish very flavorful, but it was kind of weird to have to remove the shell and tail before eating. Anyway, the dish was amazing, garlicy and sweet, it went well with the fluffy jasmine rice.
Chuck ordered yellow curry with chicken, he is becoming quite the fan of curry. The curry was a bit spicy, and very creamy. The veggies were cooked to perfection and the chicken was juicy.
The line never got smaller the entire time we ate, and it was later in the evening. We really enjoyed Chuck's birthday, but not Birthday dinner. Tomorrow starts the weekend of Chuck!
