It's Friday! What does that mean? Well, a paycheck, the start of the weekend, and a lunch not brought from home. Today I thought I would try the Pad Thai with Tofu from the Asia Cafe'. First let me be honest. I am scared of tofu. I have a problem with the texture if it isn't made into something creamy. I normally order the spring rolls and plain lo mein, but today I wanted to be brave and mix it up with something new. Their description of the dish sounded wonderful. Pad Thai: Stir fried narrow noodles wtih bean sprouts, carrots, crushed peanuts, and egg with tofu. It had the little spicy warning label next to it, heck yeah! I got it to go and once back at my desk I opened up my wondeful smelling dish. It looked great. I tasted it, expecting a heat explosion in my mouth and .....nothing. Hmmmm....maybe the heat was at the bottom. I tried again.....still nothing. This was not bad tasting at all but there was a general lack of any flavor. I gave some to my friend at work and she agreed that it was bland. Not bad, just bland. And as for the tofu...it was as I feared. Mushy. The outside was browned a little but the texture left much to be desired. Meh, I will be sticking to my lo mein and spring rolls. Those are lovely choices if you should trek there. You also must try their mango iced tea; it is made in house and absolutely delicious!
