Just a quick little post on a warm Thanksgiving eve.
Sang Deuan Thai and Lao Kitchen coming to Convoy:
I actually saw the sign lit up when driving home from Nijiya a couple of nights ago. This shop will take the place of the long running Philadelphia Sandwich Company. As much as I love businesses who have been around forever, the food at PSC seemed dated and a bit tired, so maybe it was time. As for Sang Devan, well, I'm interested and time will tell....

Szechuan Taste opens:
I mentioned this place a couple of months ago. I drove by yesterday and the place was open!
And yes, I did stop by. You know how I am. I'll eat here a couple of times before posting.
I will say, the servers are very friendly, there are the usual Sichuan suspects on the menu. The menu is a bit disconcerting....along with the to be expected ABC (American Born Chinese) dishes, usually on the menu as a concession to the lunch crowd; there's the very non-Sichuan Xiao Long Bao and Hongshao Rou....... Not quite what comes to mind with regards to "Szechuan Tastes".....
So we'll see....
Stay tuned!

Happy belated Thanksgiving to you and the Missus!
I recently visited Szechuan Taste. Is that a chicken dish you ordered (in the last pic) - I had something similar at Beijing City but can't remember the name of it.

Hi Faye - I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I did notice your post, but haven't had a chance to read it yet. I hope you had a good meal. That's Chongqing La Zi Ji(重庆辣子鸡) - Often called Chopped Chicken with Dried Chilies or even Firecracker Chicken
