Shrimp Spring Rolls ($7.95 for 4 pieces) - Rice paper stuffed with long rice, onions, mushrooms, and water chestnuts. Served with fresh lettuce, mint leaves, and cucumber. These rolls are fried and you can order Vegetable Spring Rolls instead for $7.25. I don’t like mushrooms, which this is full of, but I had to have another. It’s delicious.
Mema’s Curry with Chicken ($10.95) - Kaffir lime leaves, ground lemongrass, garlic, coconut milk, potatoes, and seasoning. You can specify mild, medium, or hot. Instead of chicken, you can order the curry with tofu, vegetable, pork, beef, shrimp, fish, or the seafood combo. Prices range from $9.95 to $18.95. We ordered it medium and it was just right for us… Spicy enough. It’s full of hearty chicken and large potato pieces. Good curry!
Pineapple Fried Rice with Shrimp ($12.95) - Stir fried rice with eggs, green peas, carrots, and pineapple. Order it with chicken, pork, or beef for $10.95. It was a little disappointing when the dish was delivered and the rice was not in a pineapple… But it was still pretty tasty, not a lot of pineapple though.
I think they’re a little short handed with waitresses. I only saw two, but they’re very nice. I wasn’t sure what kind of noodle pad thai was, so she brought out an example. It was a great meal (not really what I’d consider fancy or gourmet, but great filling food). Be sure to try this place if you’re ever on Kauai.
