The Roanoker - May/June 2015 - 94
Turn to Thailand with
Drunken Noodles.
Our second appetizer transported us west, across the
Sea of Japan to South Korea for its Spicy Kimchi Seafood
Pancake. A savory, fried snack popular in South Korea, kimchijeon is a plate-sized pancake of flour, egg, kimchi, various
seafood (in this case, shrimp, crab stick, squid, and scallops), and scallions, griddled in a cast iron pan and served
with a soy-based savory dipping sauce. While I'm hesitant to
declare the pancake spicy, it was the highlight of our meal,
with each blackened, crispy edge packing a charcoal-umami
crunch alongside a sweet kick from the seafood medley.
Jetting from South Korea further west to China, we
shared Koung Bao style chicken, a dish originating in the
Szechuan Province, but with many regional takes including a muted-down, less chili-laden Americanized one.
Café Asia 2's is fairly standardized to the American palate, though a few dried red peppers dotted the mound of
marinated and wok-fried chicken, celery and peanuts. With
tender chicken, golden-fried peanuts and a bright sauce,
this version is clearly one of the better ones in Roanoke.
We are a S.O.L.E.
