Iggy's at Providence

Had a quehog....baked stuffed clam for the non Rhode Islanders.  We are big fans of "family guy" and must try anything with that name! 

Have been busy lately and the lack of our experiments in the kitchen is obvious, but we are trying to log the restaurant adventures.  Iggy's is highly recommended if you are in the area.  Notice the address in the picture!

Quehog (?)

at Iggy's!

Clam shell stuffed with clam, bread crumbs, parsley, spices....just needs a squirt of lemon juice :).

Lobster roll

Finally had the famous lobster roll.  Was in RI for work but I think this lobster roll would be worth the trip by itself.

Need to make one at home...will keep you posted about that as and when it happens!

Fish filet in Bashu sauce

Am just going to say one thing - Gourmet Kingdom has never failed!

Clamcakes

For a southerner, these are hush puppies with bits of clam and think they make the batter in clam juice.  They were absolutely yummy, especially when hot but if you are going to Iggy's once, focus on the lobster roll.  Eat 2 lobster rolls if you can, that will undoubtedly be a better use of the appetite.

If you are like Salil with a very flexible appetite, go for these ;).

3 pepper chicken

Not for the weak at heart, this one packs a punch!

Chiba special roll

Spicy tuna and cucumber inside, seaweed and roe on the outside.  Served with a "salsa" of crab, cucumbers, scallions and lemon juice.  As always, a work of art!

Vietnamese crepe at Jujube

Banhmi at jujube

Its a crime that they serve this only for lunch on weekdays!  But, we made it there recently and finally tasted the menu which we used to look at and drool.

I had a vietnamese chicken sandwich (in the picture).  Salil had vietnamese crepe with sweet and sour pork.  Amazing flavors, fresh ingredients!

Only in carrboro

Dosa is a thin, crispy crepe made from fermented rice flour, a specialty in the south of India.  Typically, a dosa is stuffed with curried mashed potatoes but people in Carrboro are creative.  They had eggplant and chicken in addition to the traditional potato filling.  Will have to taste one soon.
