Mouthful Basil and I have had a falling out...
Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Fri, May 22, 2009 at 11:17 AM
I paid $10.95 for this plate of Pad Woon Sen from Basil.* (The $5 bill was placed in the photo for scale.)
I've got a bone to pick.
1.) This is from their lunch menu, which should feature lunch prices. $10.95 is too expensive for lunch, in my humble opinion. Especially for a lunch consisting of noodles -- the cheapest ingredient ever.
2.) The amount of food was surprisingly tiny. I would be OK with paying $10.95 if the dish contained a bit more food. And/or included additional items such as a spring roll and a drink. Ahem, as they do at Thai Taste for less than $10.
3.) When I asked if I could get the dinner-sized portion and pay the dinner price, I was denied. They said their computers were unable to calculate the dinner price. Uh, what?
So that's it. What was once a happy relationship, is now over. I left the restaurant feeling ripped off and, as they say, it "left a bad taste in my mouth."
(*The food tasted good though. But not $10.95 good.)

Mouthful Central Coffee Co. opens in Plaza Midwood
Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 11:23 AM
The latest (caffeine) buzz is that Plaza-Midwood just got a new coffee shop. Offering coffees and sweets, Central Coffee Co. opened six days ago on the corner of Central Avenue and Louise Avenue, across from Grand Central.
Kid-friendly, the shop includes a little easel chalk board for drawing and a game set for a impromptu chess match.
Kleto's specialty drink is the Central Shorty, a 6 ounce latte served in a ceramic cup made with 2 ounces of espresso, a shot of vanilla, topped with steamed milk and decorated with a little "latte art." Their coffee beans come locally from Dilworth Coffee.
If you are looking for something sweet to accompany your coffee, Central Coffee Co. offers homemade treats such as authentic Baklava made by Kleto's Greek mother, biscotti, scones, muffins, and more.
Their hours are 6 a.m. - 8 p.m. on weekdays/Saturdays and 6 a.m. - 6 p.m. on Sundays. There has been some talk about adding a TV, live music, and later hours in the future.
Head over to Central Coffee Co.'s grand opening on Saturday, May 30. They will be offering buy-one-get-one-free coffees all day, all drinks included.
