umm delic! Tonight for dinner we took Matthew's dad out to Rooster in Provo. yuum. I could have died. Although I'm pretty sure the men would have preferred bbq somewhere I had wanted to try this place for a long time. I found a $25.00 gift certificate for them off of CityDeals for only $12.50 so I thought it was a good time to give it a whirl! (what? you've never heard of CityDeals? They are awesome- really. 1/2 off gift certificates - what more could you want? okay… more than half off and that happens too!)
I'm a diehard potsticker lover. We ordered a half a dozen each of the pork & chive and the shrimp with roasted red peppers dumplings (potstickers) (9), udon noodle stir fry with oyster mushrooms (11), a small plate of Shrimp and fresh herb fritters (5) and two orders of their grilled asparagus and grilled cotija cheese (5).
I really couldn’t have been happier! The dumplings were the best I had had in at least 8 years - seriously. I still remember the last time a had great dumplings, I was in Hawaii and my aunt had just made a massive platter full for a family outing. (When i say dumplings think oriental style not southern grandma - those are a whole different love story) The asparagus and cheese was also some of the best I've ever tasted and I'm super picky about how I will eat it.
Next time I go I will try something besides the udon noodles, but its not because I didn't like them - there were just a few to many mushrooms for my taste - but the think doughy noodles were scrumptious
We went a little over board for dessert and got both the chocolate lava cake with hazelnut whipped cream and the cheesecake wontons with blueberry sauce to split. (7 a piece I think) The wontons were to die for. um.. I'll be dreaming food in my sleep!
When its just Matthew and I eating out we don't usually order so much food. We skip the appetizers and a lot of times will share a meal because we never finish two. But I'm so glad we tried so many things tonight! Sometimes you just need to get out and try a new place! I absolutely recommend your wander over to citydeals.com, grabyourself a certificate and then head to Rooster on a date night! - I will GLADLY come with you!
I will take you up on that offer! :)
