Restaurant Review: Satay

Satay is located right up the street from our house, in a nondescript strip mall. Very unassuming. You wouldn’t be able to find it unless you were looking for it. We went there to attend a Slow Food meeting. We ordered some Vietnamese Spring Rolls to snack on during the meeting. They were by far the freshest tasting ingredients I had eaten in a restaurant in a long time. Tofu, rice vermicelli, cucumber, zucchini, leaf lettuce and mint/basil, with a Vietnamese spicy peanut plum sauce. It seems the owner, Foo Swasdee, has been making fresh, healthy ingredients a priority for some time. Her rolls are going down as one of my two food epiphany’s of 2007 (The other was Uchi’s Miso Shiru.)
