Angel Cake Cafe - 43rd and Fraser
New place for me for our post-volleyball meal. A Hong Kong style restaurant, only with more of a Malaysian slant. You see nasi goreng and the like on the menu. I had the $5.75 satay with instant noodles in soup. (I know, one could almost make this at home.)
The others all ordered a prawn-filled spaghetti dish for about $8.25. The serving is huge with 8 prawns but the sauce appears to be very rich, maybe a bit too rich. Might not be good for the mid-section or for one's cholesterol count.
Update: Been there several times now, have ordered the spaghetti dish twice - much too rich for one person. All that energy and sweat spent diving for volleyballs; all that exercising out the window with just one dish.
Now the question is do I play volleyball for the exercise or as an excuse to eat? (Have to remember my mandate - to eat 1000 unique meals without gaining more than 10 pounds.)

It is said that the mind is like a Rorsach Blot, for when I saw the phrase "nasi goreng", what initially registered in my mind was "Nazi Goering".
Had you described the Angel Cake Cafe as a Hong Kong restaurant with a war-time German slant, to have had "Nazi Goering" on the menu would have been appropriate.
But then I almost immediately recognized that my senses had been wrong, and that the Angel Cake Restaurant did indeed have a Malaysian slant, not a war-time German one.
But suppose the slant in the Angel Cake Cafe was a war-time German one. I surmise that "Nazi Goering" would have been the prone dead body of the obese Herman Goering served up on a large table in the middle of the Angel Cake Cafe, in the manner of the body on the table in the restaurant in the movie "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover", a film I highly recommend to any who haven't seen it.
