Yummy food in Oakland

ELA (Engineers Lacking Alcohol) decided to try a new place last night. Saul suggested Spice Island Tea house, which he found by apparently using Google Maps to search for "food" in "Pittsburgh". Luckily, they did have alcohol too, thus satisfying the needs of ELA.

The food was a mix of Malaysian, Thai, and whatever other SE Asian dishes they could cook up. It was kind of a SE Asian shmorgasboard, but a good one. We declared the Pad Thai and the Thai Fried Rice to be the winners of the evening. The Malaysian chicken was ok, but the sauce on it was great. The wine list looked pretty good, and you can get champagne cocktails, which Tara and I both tried. It's also BYOB, but honestly, they had a good wine selection. You might want to bring your own beer, but the selection was adequate for our needs. Just don't try the Devil IPA. That was truly nasty.

It looks like they have lunches too, and it's walking distance to campus. It's a little bit of a long walk, but it should be fine when the whether warms up.
