FEB 17, 25.. DOVE M BISTRO, MARANA, ARIZONA..

 Patti and I are visiting several of Patti's relatives here in Marana, Arizona. Last night we dined at a local Chinese Restaurant named the DOVE M BISTRO.

We have eaten here before and really enjoyed our experience.

Below are a few photos that I snapped over two days.

You have to admit, Dove M Bistro is an unusual name!

Let's go inside.

It doesn't look too busy because we were the very last group to leave.

Below is a photo that I took back on April the 15th 2017, the last time that we ate here at the Dove M Bistro.

The time has come to eat!

Up close and personal.

What else but "Our" Singapore Rice Noodles!

Well there you have it. Our visit to the Dove M Bistro and Chinese Cuisine.

It was fun and we really enjoyed our dinners.

DEC 27, 22 .. GEORGE & SONS ASIAN CUISINE

George & Sons Asian Cusine is arguably one of our favorite restaurants here in the Phoenix Metro Area. We can't say it is our absolute favorite restaurant because we have a favorite Mexican Restaurant when we hunger for Nachos, a favorite steak house, sandwich shop, vegetarian restaurant, etc.

GEORGE & SONS ASIAN CUSINE

Nice to park so close.

One thing was very special during this visit. This was the first time that we were joined by friends.

What a hoot it was !

Patty (Patty with a 'y' as opposed to our Patti with an 'i') and Stan ordered dishes that we never order because all we have ever ordered (and plan to continue to do so) are Singapore Rice Noodles.

Stan ordered a dish described as Jumbo Shrimp with Honey Glazed Walnuts.

Let me tell all of you this was an absolutely amazing entrėe. I had to fight-off my desire to eat his dinner and act like an adult in front of our good friends !

Patty ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken. It too (I tasted it) was delectable.

Our Patti ordered Spring Rolls to enjoy with her Singapore Rice Noodles.

And there, in the below photo, you have them! Our Singapore Rice Noodles!

They were as good as they always are !

And then an absolutely 'magical and special' event suddenly happened !

Patti and I have been enjoying meals at George & Son's Asian Cusine since January of 2017 when we first discovered it. 

NEVER EVER had we enjoyed the below experience!

George himself (I asked him IF he was the owner. He smiled and said 'Sometimes') suddenly appeared beside me. And all five of us launched into an 'animated' discussion about many topics.

Meet George of George & Sons Asian Cusine.

Meet Patty and Stan as well.

It was a hoot ! It was a holler ! It was magical ! It truly was a once in our life time visit to George & Son's !

It just doesn't get any better than this !

We will sign off as ..

DEC 23, 21 .. WHAT IS THIS ? IN LAKE HAVASU CITY, ARIZONA ! UNBELIEVABLE !

Just in case someone following along here doesn't realize this, our (perhaps) most favorite meal anywhere, anyplace, when we can find it here in the United States, is Singapore Rice Noodles.

We asked our friend Michael, who has been here in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, for nine years, if he knew of any restaurant that serves it. Michael is well aware of how fond we are of it because of knowing us for years. He said that (on one of our previous visits) he asked a lady about it who is a professional cook and who actually owned a chinese restaurant. She (knowing the dish) assurred him that no chinese or asian restaurant here in Lake Havasu City serves it.

So, in spite of the above advice, guess who jumped into action in our search for Singapore Rice Noodles here in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

Yes! Taa Daa! Our one, and our only, Patti!

Onto her Samsung Galaxy A10e smartphone and straight to Google she went. She entered Singapore Rice Noodles in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

Voila! 

Good news. Patti's Google Search found one restaurant listed.

Not such good news. Their online menu did NOT show Singapore Rice Noodles. 

So Patti telephoned the restaurant and they told Patti ..

"YES! we serve it!"

So out and off the two of us went.

When we arrived at the restaurant I went in and asked them if they served this dish. I was shown a menu that clearly showed it.

We now have eaten at The Golden Phoenix two times. Saturday and Monday. They are closed on Sunday.

Our Saturday night visit was to test it out. To determine IF it was the real deal.

Yes! Oh Yes Indeed! The Golden Phoenix cooks definately know how to cook Singapore Rice Noodles.

Our Monday evening visit was with our long time friend Michael who had never eaten this dish.

So the below photos reflect two visits (so far!).

Saturday night.

Monday evening. Panning left to right.

Inside we go.

Really great, totally authentic, Singapore Rice Noodles as good (well almost) as in Hong Kong.

Our Saturday visit.

Back for more with Michael on Monday evening. The place was jumping as compared with late Saturday night.

Absolutely top notch with no qualifications whatsoever!

All Thanks To Patti.

And?

Prior to coming I had told Michael that it is 'spicy'. Michael said .. "I love spicy!"

It was and Michael loved it.

Smiles .. Cap and Patti

FEB 23, 20 .. MORE .. HONG KONG (3) IS HERE IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA

Yes, here we have yet a third Phoenix Restaurant that serves our Singapore Rice Noodles.

FLO'S ASIAN KITCHEN

Into Flo's Asian Kitchen we walk.

There they are, our favorite, Singapore Rice Noodles.

The Singapore Rice Noodles here at Flo's were absolutely outstanding.

Well there you have it. Hong Kong (3) in Phoenix, Arizona.
