Hon Cafe, with Iridesco

After Robyn described this rather interesting Chinatown-style garlic burger at nearby Hon Cafe, we had to try. And to make it more interesting, we invited along our always game for anything lunch-mates, the Iridesco boys. It took a really long time to digest the menu as categories ranged from "Sizzling Special" to "Eastern Style Over Rice" to "Baked Rice/ Spaghetti". Finally we settled on some garlic burgers, a baked ketchup pork chop over spaghetti and some minced beef w/ egg and rice. With the entrees came a choice of soup, either the Hon Borsch or the Cream of Chicken & Corn. All in all, a very interesting sort of meal. There's a lot more to try so I expect we'll be back.
