South East Asian Restaurant

Heh, it’s not a generic description, it’s the actual name of the place. I went there this week for lunch with a friend of mine and with Aron and his lovely wife, Amy. Now before I get into my mini-review/ranking of the place, let me just say this. All this seeming obsession with food has got a purpose. And this post shows that purpose. More after the nitty gritty. (I should sell advertising in this space right here, shouldn’t I?).

Aron told us all about xen and ia64 and his work involving both. Amy told us about her recent work with inotify. She’s modest so she described it as “some stuff”. The link and details are from Aron. And me, I have no shame, so I’m boasting on her behalf as well. And of course Justin regaled us with some comedy.

The food itself — for the price you simply can not complain. They have a great variety of stuff, and even for the vegetarians among us. All the meateaters (which consisted of everyone except for Aron, Amy and me) were pretty happy with it. Spicy food galore! Yummy and tasty, and I’m going back there for sure. The Griffises mentioned another Indian veg. restaurant in the area that we’ve been looking for but never seem to find. We always wind up at other Indian restaurants that have sprouted up in this one restaurant’s former locations. That includes the new #1 in Framingham. Go figure.

Now the reason? Great food, great company, great opportunities to get together with Gentoo developers and other smart people to talk about technology, linux, gentoo and so on. I always find these things very refreshing and energising. Notice how I met up with Aron yesterday and fixed a couple of bugs. I think that’s a pattern.

And so there you have it, mystery solved. I’ll hopefully put up a recipe for Rach soon.
