Some days it's just fun to share a meal in pictures.
Please enjoy this visual tour of the amazing flavors and colors that Street Kitchen Asian Bistro has to offer.
Their menu is color coded by region: Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, China, Malaysia and STK original.
I leave you to enjoy the pictures in peace.....until it comes to the Okonomiyaki.
That requires an explanation.
And help from the manager to pronounce it.

Story Time
I asked a friend who lives in the area if she had been to SK and she said yes. She told me that her fiance had ordered something with fish scales on it. And he loved it. She had no idea what is was called. As I'm reading the menu, I'm trying to guess what he might have ordered. What a fun game.
Reading.....reading....
Still no clue. So we just kept looking for dishes that were unique.
We ordered the Okonomiyaki because it was a pancake.
A Japanese pancake!
There is no such thing as a bad pancake.
Here it is in all of its pancake-y glory.
The ingredient you need to know is katsuobonito (or katsuobushi) which is dried, fermented and smoked tuna. As wikipedia describes it "upon being placed on hot food, the heat waves cause the thin and light katsuobushi to move about." You could say dancing. Or you could say that it looks like moving fish scales. Or it looks like it's waving at you. No matter what it's doing, it won't do it long, because it is delicious!
