Strange (Emergency) Plates at Skyway Malaysian

An off-season Strange Plates Session was called.

I had the great (if I don’t mind saying so) idea to try Shabu-Shabu, which is kinda like Japanese fondue. I’d spotted a neat looking place in my travels — way on the L.E.S. near the old Forverts building.

Lucky for us Ann, Marcy & I scoped the place out early. It was closed! Moved! Agggggh!

Here I am looking glum.

Emergency phone calls were made and even in the rain we came up with an alternative. A Malaysian place called the “Skyway” (which was kinda funny ’cause Minnesota native Kim Tabbatt was joining us.)

Food and loudness commenced!

Here is Matt – so hungry he is eating his arm (after all, it looked like fruit stripe gum!)

Here is a Malaysian Oyster Omlette.

Here are some sprouty things.

Here are happy campers.

Here are more happy campers.

I couldn’t tell if this was food or just the remnants of the fish tank.

Yum.

This was the crazy call of the night. The Bitter Melon Chicken. Looks okay, right?

But here’s the face I made afterwards!

We’ll have to try Shabu-Shabu another time!
