I don't know exactly, what is the lethal correlation of Sunday afternoons and the crazy desire to eat out! Especially when one is dog tired of running errands all day long and feels devoid of the energy and imagination of cooking something from scratch at home! Not that I consider myself a Nigella-reincarnated blessed with the talent of dishing out something exotic in matter of minutes! So I do the next best thing. I try out different restaurants and jot down my experience. Pls note, readers! The opinions expressed in this blog are strictly my own and adhere to my own gastronomical sensitivity.
So on another such expeditions, me and my roomie ventured out today and ended up in Lewisville which is around 20 miles from Plano. We were famished and ended up in a place which had quite a few restaurants. We decided to take a break from our incessant tussle of selecting Mediterranean or desi fare, So flipped a coin and zeroed in on "Pei Wei."
I chose a dish called as "Dan Dan" which was a soupy broth kind of a thing with shredded chicken, sliced cucumber, bean Sprouts, garlic and scallions. The soup had soy sauce as its base. I added some chili paste to enhance the spiciness. It turned out to be lip-smacking! Full of Asian fusion flavors, it transported me to China town!!! Ha ha!! Another dish that we ordered was fried rice with chicken, red bell peppers, broccoli and some other vegetables. It was yummilicious too! And the quantity served was enough for two people, we couldn't finish even half of each dish.
Service was super-fast. Interesting part, since we were first time visitors to Pei Wei, the drinks were on the house!
Ambience was peaceful and serene. This has reserved its rightful place in top 3 of my favorite non-desi places to eat.
