Wow...we really tested our culinary flexibility at lunch after church! Our driver had mentioned this restaurant Pagi Sore twice and said it was very good, and since he's very quiet and rarely mentions that sort of thing, we wanted to give it a try. It was packed and every table was covered in food. As soon as we were seated, they began bringing plates of all kinds of food to our table and we had no idea what any of it was or what we were supposed to do. Alex was NOT happy with all the mysterious dished!
Thankfully, there was a family seated next to us who spoke some English and they explained that these are all dishes from Padang on Sumatra and she pointed out several plates we should try. They had two different chicken dishes that were fantastic, beef rendang that has won awards, and my favorite was green curry boiled eggs. It turns out that you're only charged for what you eat, so we didn't touch some of the more mysterious plates...we'll save those for next time. Fresh fruit smoothies are always a safe bet for these boys, too.
We wrapped up our lunch with some sort of green pudding or custard. No idea what was in it but it was sure tasty. I'm happy the kids were willing to eat adventurously today and that we had such an unexpectedly memorable meal.
