Wondrous Azian Kitchen

I have been away for awhile due to poverty conditions but I am back with new info.

Last night went to Thom Pham's new establishment called the Wondrous Azian Kitchen...wonder what the wondrous means!

We (PHM and myself) arrived about 5 not really sure if we were just going to have a drink or stay for dinner too. Once there was mention of happy hour the decision was made. The place is huge, the decor is from Azia and Temple with a few additions, the noise level is not good, it can get extremely noisy at times.

The happy hour drinks are OK would be much better if they added some alcohol, but sadly to say they did not. We had to move from where we were originally sitting, which was next to a window because it was so cold. I will give kudos to the wait staff they are friendly, they answer your questions and are overall pleasant.

The next move is into the main dinning room, where we decide to have dinner. The menu is huge and somethings can be quit spendy. We decide to share the Grand Rooster Egg Roll(very good), followed by the Spanker, a delicious coconut milk based soup(yummy),followed by the sesame chicken (OK). I think that the sesame chicken could have a bit more flavor or else maybe my taste-buds have been tarnished by take out food.

The best is yet to come...going to see Billy Elliot. I did not know much about the play itself except to say it was about a boy who loved ballet. It was fantastic! The boy who played Billy is more then talented and at such a young age, he is going to have quite the career in front of him.

Well the holidays are here with many new restaurants opening and I can't wait to try each one of them.

Happy Holidays!
