what was consumed: pork steamed bao, veggie spring rools, wok fried rice noodles, taiwanese fried chicken

i love the dual purpose concept at maketto: part retail, part restaurant. that way, i can do some eye shopping before/after/during (?) my delicious meal. and delicious is definitely what our meal way.

we started with the bao and the spring rolls - pretty standard stuff. maketto serves these solid appetizers. but the wok fried noodles (we were told it was the most popular) is definitely one to order. wide rice noodles, seasoned with a soy sauce plus lots of spice, veggies, etc. i wished i had space for another order of these noodles.

and the taiwanese fried chicken! lightly battered fried chicken, served with some cabbage stuff with fried chicken sauce. the sauce is sweeter than i usually like, but it worked for me as it was coupled with strong and delicious fish sauce flavors. i could go for some right now ...
