Sieu Sieu BBQ Revisited

As a sign of how long I've been doing this blog.....do you remember what was in the spot before Sieu Sieu BBQ opened in this spot in 2008? You'd be right if you said Maui Maui Hawaiian BBQ...funny how it went from one reduplicated name to another, eh? And before that; wasn't it something like Yakimono restaurant.....and for bonus points; do you remember when Sieu Sieu BBQ was in Linda Vista? Sheesh.....

Anyway, this one has been sitting around for a while. I took a revisit; it had been a couple of years.

I decided to get Ga Muoi - "salt chicken", something akin to Kwai Fei Chicken and Roast Pork with rice ($8.95).

The chicken came with the minced ginger and scallion "dip" and was on the dry side, but was nicely flavored....the ginger was chopped much too coarsely for my taste, making the flavor too strong.

The skin on the roast pork was too thick and hard and as you can see; the meat was really dry. Can't say it was bland though. Too bad, because on my last visit; the pork was way better than the roast duck.....

The rice, night have been the best I've ever had here, moist, hot, fragrant.

Well, even though the price was right.....it'll be a while before I return again.

Remember the Linda Vista noodle shop where Thai Papaya is now? Before Original SEL. I used to love their fried rice and dumpling egg noodles. I think the owner was the sister of the lady running Sieu Sieu.

You mean Thai by Tara Junichi? They made a nice fried rice. Or Mi Ngoc So? Before that it was Linda Vista Food to Go....if I recall.
