Lunch at Veggie Planet
No Picture Associated With These Comments
For lunch, we grabbed takeout once again from Veggie Planet. This time we had the vegan oddlot, a pizza of "tomatoes, spinach, basil tofu ricotta ("mild crumbled tofu with hints of curds), and olives." It was pungent with fried garlic. Fairly decent.

We also had the planet salad, which had a very pleasant vinaigrette and neat fried tofu croutons.

Dinner at Penang
Eating in Penang felt like
eating in a tropical, Southeast Asian hut.
Our starter, roti canai.  Good.  Although the dipping sauce looks like a
lot, and, surprisingly, included chicken and potatoes, it was tasty and we
ended up finishing it, mopping up the remains with the last bits of roti.
Beef rendang.  Good, and quite spicy.  Most of the beef was pretty tender,
though some pieces were hard to cut.
Nasi lemak.  Good curried chicken.  I thought it went well with the white
of the hard boiled egg and the coconut rice.  Di Yin enjoyed adding the
anchovies to the chicken; I enjoyed them separately.  I also liked the
pickled vegetables, perhaps more than her, as I ended up eating most of
them.

The total was $12/person including tax and tip.
People also rave about the mango chicken. I'll have to order it next time I'm there on my own.
