Stickers

Stickers is a little place in Westmoreland that I have visited three times in the past year. Most recently, I lunched there with Loopy and Gun LOL, dining on a $7 special that left me satisfied and not so broke. YAY.

Their lunchtime specials are all about $7, and you can choose from satay, potstickers (steamed or fried, veggie or pork), stir fry, and some other options I can't remember. Everything comes with a pile of scrumptious "thai salad," which is nothing like any salad I've had at a thai restaurant, but is delicious, nonetheless. The dressing is light, red, tangy stuff, and the salad is shredded veggies (although, beware the small, and slippery bits of raw red onion that will ruin your breath for 2 days). It probably counts as 1-2 servings of vegetables, and who doesn't need more of those? Plus, the dressing is not heavy and oily, so it's probably not too much of a negative, if you care about that kind of thing.

The 'stickers are really good. You get 6 in the lunch special. I got the pork ones, steamed, and they were delish. Gun LOL got them fried, and seemed to enjoy them. They looked tasty - I should've demanded a bite! Loopy got the satay shrimp, and she raved about it. Last time, I got the satay chicken, and thought the peanut sauce was really good. The satay lunches have the added benefit of coming with rice, so if you're STARVING, they might be a better option due to the rice's filling qualities. Gun LOL got a thai iced tea, and it was yums (served in a pint glass, which is a fair size) and not too expensive (I hate when they're like, $3).

This latest time, the service was fine, but the time before, Loopy and I waited for a really long time to order, get our food, and pay (GRRR). The time before that, I went for dinner with Gnarles, and we didn't like it quite so much. I think it was our choice of Indian food dishes (not their strong point, admittedly). This is probably because Gnarles and I are constantly craving Indian food, since it was a staple of ours in SF (Naan and Chutney, anyone?) that we can't seem to replace here in P-town. If anyone has a suggestion of where I could get my Naan on, let me know. We tried Bombay Cricket Club, and while it was pretty good, the ratio of their portions and prices was WAY off (even for Indian food, which is usually small and expensive everywhere).

So, on that note, try Stickers (at least for lunch!). But stay away from their Indian foods, I warn you.
