I am having so much fun with dinner club. It's not about the food or the restaurants at all, just wonderful meeting so many new people and friends. This was the biggest yet I think, were there 11 of us there?
Cafe Trang was perfect for the night. The service was very non-obtrusive, things just got done without me even noticing. She just slipped in then out. Even when they were closing they never told us to leave. They just nicely brought us receipts and cleaned up until we got the hint.
I really enjoyed my dish. It was beef something, I waited too long to blog and now I can't remember a thing. Even though I enjoyed my dinner, next time I'd get the lemon chicken. That's the dish that has stuck in my mind after we all passed our plates around. Everything else has faded away in my memory after a mere 10 days, but the lemon chicken still lingers.
We are quickly running out of restaurants in Draper, at least interesting sounding ones that we haven't already been too. It will be fun to see what we come up with next time, I can't wait!

The Best Yet
I thought Cafe Trang was our best dining experience yet. The food was absolutely delectable. The Pad Thai was great, the shrimp salad was incredible and the Mongolian beef was spicy and flavorful. One of my favorite dishes was the walnut shrimp. It had a light and fluffy sauce that was just sweet enough to make it rich and satisfying. It was fun getting to try several different dishes and not one was disappointing. The service was great and the atmosphere was vibrant and interesting.
Great conversation. It was so much fun it was hard for us to leave even after we closed the place down.
I'd highly recommend Cafe Trang!

The early bird
gets the Pad Thai, and the girl who comes an hour and half late gets a cast-off bowl of some of THE best rice ever (thx Angie!), with a little soy sauce to flavor it up a bit.
I typically prefer dry rice to sticky rice, but Cafe Trang's rice is unbelievably both. Dryish and sticky, and incredibly yummy.
The waitress DID give me two fortune cookies since I arrived too late to dine, and who wouldn't have a good impression of a restaurant after receiving a nifty fortune like: "You will be successful...someday."
I'll have to go back sometime when I can try the real food too!
As always, the company is the very best part.
