Yes, yet another Noble Chef post. But man, since our dine in visit last month, She has been wanting the Salted Fish and Chicken with Eggplant sometimes twice a week!
For some reason, the last couple of visits, the dish has been spot on.....compare this with older photos.
Of course, I only get a taste; but the funky-salty tones, along with the buttery eggplant....well that's a match made in heaven. At least for the Missus.
The two guys who work here already know my order as I walk in the front door!
The Noble Chef
6159 Balboa Avenue
San Diego, CA 92111
One quick note - as of August 1st, the Noble Chef will be closing on Tuesdays.
And in case you (might) want a laugh on this Wednesday:
Every once in a while I'll overhear something funny or just see something unfolding. I usually use the self checkout, but on this day I had a bunch of produce and doing that can be a pain in the self check-out so I went to the regular cashier line.
The creepy young man in the front of me kept trying to pick-up the cashier who was obviously not interested.
Finally, after paying he went for the "Hail Mary" and told the young lady: "You know, when I look in the mirror...I see a 10....a ten-point-oh.....a perfect ten!"
Yikes, what a creep. The young lady just ignored him and he went on his way.
After having my stuff ringed up and bagging my groceries...well, I just couldn't help myself and said: "You know that what the dude is seeing in the mirror is actually a reflection of 0.01, right?"
The young lady cracked up.
Hope you're having a great week!
And....just 'cuz I'm interested, have you been craving anything recently?
That looks good

I will be going to Noble Chef next week; I hope they don't run out of this dish before I get there! I did crack up at your comment to the cashier. Too bad that Creepy guy didn't hear you to see how ridiculous his Hail Mary line was.

Ahh yes, people watching has made quite the return for me as well since peak-pandemic/lockdown.
My lady has been craving Sushi Diner, and I’ve been craving Soi 30th, specifically their khao soi! We also live by tacos la chorreada, the truck from a few posts ago, so I’ll give it a try too. I’m always, always craving Mexican food!

Hope they make it to your liking Sandy!
Oooohh, Soi 30th sounds good right now Matthew. Hope you enjoy La Chorreada.

Hot days always make me crave hot foods, Kirk. Bun Bo Hue from Mien Trung, Tasty Pot, or Dave’s Hot Chicken!
