I know it is 4 days since my last post (my modem went down and I have been hijacking internet access when I can)...none the less I have had daring adventures in Newbold over the last few days...one outside cheat today with a delightful scone in Mt. Airy at High Point Cafe (wonderful crepe place and more).
Ok, ok...so my absolute pick of the week is Pendawa Cafe on the corner of Morris and Mole! This place is incredible...Indonesian "bento" box meals packed with goodies. I went for a safe bet of tempeh and beef with a fried egg and tofu over rice (for $5 I got two meals, there is like 10lbs. of rice in each box it seems!). They had everything under the sun. I contemplated getting what I thought was seaweed salad until I notice that the eye's on the seaweed seemed to be contemplating me...NOT seaweed rather some sea animal (I DO intend on getting that one day but for now just going over the threshold of unknow grocerers is an event for me!).
Pendawa's center isle is covered in freshly prepared Indonesian delicises from sweet coconut treats to savory shrimp pastries(coconut treat - $1.50, not my favorite however, barely a second, more like a 4th or 5th to my ever favorite Brasilian treat Beijinho's little OH MY GOODNESS coconut yummies bought in Northeast Philly) . My second favorite find in there was root chips (sweet potato, and two other kinds I don't remember). My total at Pendawa = $7.75, 2 full meals!
Lest I forget my dear friend on the corner of Morris and Broad Street, Oscar! Oscar runs a produce stand all year round with the best deals on produce (very occasionally he has organic). I can always count on him for staples like carrots, celery and broccli. On Tuesday he was sporting delicate and sweet RASBERRIES (oh how I wish I could have made sweet crepes that day!) for $0.99. Oscar is always friendly, cleans his corner and humors me when I want to practice spanish!
Well kids, I do believe I am talking to myself at this point! And I promise to talk more (I do love the sound of my own voice) as soon as the modem gets rolling tomorrow!
Until next time, "Who are the people in your neighborhood? in your neighborhood? in your...."
