On Tuesday my staff went to Ping - located in Old Town China Town - to celebrate being a staff, the upcoming holidays and my boss's 5 year anniversary with the company. |
Ping has a happy hour that starts at 2:00PM! As well as great lunch and dinner menus. |
Ping was created and conceived by the same people as Pok Pok and Whiskey Soda Lounge |
We decided to eat family style so that way we were able to try a little bit of everything. |
First things first. We ordered cocktails. I had a Singapore Sling! (Didn't have a picture of it so I found one online). It was SUPER strong! |
From there we had a few little starters while we looked at the menu |
A basket of Shrimp Chips, Deep Fried Little Fish and a spicy lime/chili peanut mix |
Thai style Pork Meatballs |
Shrimp skewers with lime, salt and pepper |
Chicken skewers and baby octopus |
Beef skewers (with my favorite cucumber chili salad on the side) |
Lamb skewers and the special of the day Boar skewers. (The boar was so tender and yummy) |
The skewers were accompanied by slightly sweet (and slightly greasy) flatbread. |
And really how could we have skipped over the sticky rice? (I told you we had a little bit of everything) |
My FAVORITE was the Salapao (steamed pork bun). I could have eaten a dozen of these. However, I settled with taking two home with me. |
I had never been to Ping before but it's a destination I can see going back to a few more times. After all I have to try the many other items on the menu!
Look at those lovely shots. I wish I live in a more diverse area...no chinatown in my state....a bit bland actually. Haven't been in a food trip in a while, but you have inspired me. =)
