Dinner Entrees

VEGETARIANS WELCOME

Most of our entrees can be served as vegetarian dishes and we can, if you wish, add tofu.  Some especially popular vegetarian dishes are the Curried Chinese Eggplant (#12), the fresh rice noodles, Cha Kway Teow (#3), Poh Pia (#5), Nasi Goreng (#15) and if you eat seafood, Udang Goreng Berempah (#8) or the same sauce served with tofu (#10).

1.     SCALLOPS NANAS ASSAM     $17.95
“Pineapple contributed a juicy acidity to a stir fry delicately cooked scallops….The flavor of pineapple played off the taste of tender onions and green peppers.  The light sauce had the tingle of tamarind, the pod-shaped tropical fruit filled with a sticky sourish pulp.”  (The InTowner 2004)

2.     STRAITS CHICKEN CURRY     $13.95
Curry is one of the classic dishes of Malaysia and Singapore.  Our curry spice has galanga (a tropical type of ginger) and lemon grass and is made with coconut milk.

3.     CHA KWAY TEOW     $13.95
Our chef's favorite dish.  Broad fresh rice noodles are stir-fried with chili paste, mushroom sauce, bean sprouts, and chicken.  Also excellent as a vegetarian dish.

4.     CHICKEN WITH BASIL     $13.95
Chicken and vegetables are stir fried with fresh basil to create a delicious dish that is often picked by the Washingtonian as one of his favorites.

5.     POH PIA     $13.95
“Poh pia, resembles Chinese moo shu and involves some assembly at the table.   Four folded pancakes rest atop a bowl heaped with crunchy jicama, bean sprouts, dried shrimp, cilantro and chicken slivers; you spread some hoisin sauce on a pancake, add some chicken mix, then wrap it all up.  Diners tend to eat the dish like a taco, with the pancake doubled over the filling.”  (Washington Post 2004)  Also excellent as a vegetarian dish.

6.     CURRY FRIED BEE HOON     $10.95
A standard and popular rice noodle dish in Singapore and Malaysia made with bean sprouts, eggs, green bell pepper and chicken and the chef's own mixed  curry powder.

This is the chef's favorite shrimp dish.  Shrimp is served in a hot and spicy sauce that includes coconut milk, onions and vegetables.

9.     TAMARIND CHICKEN     $13.95
