Dinner at Borobudur, San Francisco, CA

We took a friend to Borobudur, one of our favorite inexpensive places in the city. We had some new things and some old favorites and only the veggie curry disappointed. The service was a bit slow today, but there was only one waitress and she had to deal with the entire restaurant, so we didn't mind.

Steamed Chicken Dumplings with Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce $5
The sui-mai-like dumplings were very dense, which was neither good nor bad. And the sauce was an interesting accompaniment.

Roti Prata $6
Winner of our Best Snack of 2006 Award, the Roti Prata never fails. So delicious we had to stop ourselves from ordering seconds.

Vegetable Curry $9
This was rather lackluster. We wouldn't order it again.

Spicy Chicken $10
This chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce is succulent and very spicy.

Grilled Salmon $12
The flesh was tender and not overcooked and the outside was crusty with a nice charred flavor that complemented the sweet-hot sauce that the salmon was marinated in.
