The Market District opened a few months ago, but this was the first visit for this young hungry couple. We arrived around 12:45pm on a Saturday, not exactly a prime time for one-on-one interaction with the store. Even so, parking wasn't bad, and although it was quite busy, we were approached by many passionate employees. They provided us with basil brie, ginger brew beverages, and sugar cane to suck on.
We arrived hungry, excited for experiencing lunch from large cafe' area. After reviewing items from the open salad bar, crepe station, and others, I spotted what made my mouth water at the Asian Food Cart Fare. A yellow curry and coconut chicken curry with a side of jasmine rice. Shawn opted for a more "manly" selection- beef brisket with baked beans. The cost was also enticing at just $5 and $6 respectively.
We ate upstairs in their open cafe', accompanied by a folk musician playing guitar. A nice atmosphere, we almost forgot we were in a grocery store. The meals were decent for the price, I was a little disappointed in the quality of chicken (I'd prefer chicken breast), but the yellow curry flavor was brilliant. Shawn says his was decent, the brisket could have been more tender, but again for the price the meals were worth it.
Tomorrow I'll continue this post and our meeting of the oil and vinegar connoisseur!
