Since the Mrs fortuitously was able to get Monday off - it wasn't a holiday for her, just a day off - we could enjoy our dinner at Hiroshi on Sunday and also grab some lunch on Monday... at Lucky Belly. I was jonesing for some Cuban faire or Brasserie du Vin but I let her choose since I was actually on holiday status. Our only visit to Lucky Belly was almost a year ago so we were eager to see if the menu had some changes or if they let good enough alone. We started with the Lamb Lumpia which wasn't on the menu on our initial visit. Flavorful shredded meat though I couldn't tell you it was lamb. I would have guessed pork maybe because their house made kim chi rounded out the filling but it was very good none the less. Especially with the ko cho jung based dippin' sauce.
I also ordered a glass of St Michael-Eppan Lagrein from Alto Adige
For my special, a Sweet and Sour Pork Sandwich with Pea Soup. Never mind run of the mill pork, this was tender pork belly! Cha-Ching! With a sweet and sour slaw to balance the flavors on a soft roll. Ten out of ten!
The Mrs selected the Kim Chi Bowl with the spicy stuff on the side and she kept that ko cho jung sauce from the lumpia to dunk her shrimp in to...
A great lunch though you will have to wait for tables unless you get there at 11:00am as they don't take lunch reservations and it was obvious that a lot of diners didn't have the day off. Of course, a clip of the reason for the holiday...
