Atlanta Foodies

Columbia Restaurant 2117 East 7th Avenue   Tampa, FL 33605-3903 (813) 248-4961 http://www.columbiarestaurant.com/pdfs/menu_dinner.pdf Our little day trip to Ybor City. Greg decided to meet me in Tampa, FL and took me on a tour of Tampa on foot and by bus to see the downtown skyscrapers, gives the look of the city life mix Columbus, GA. Our last  destination was Ybor City, FL. Ybor City looks like an old town mix of Columbus and Savannah, GA. The city has quiet street with industries and homes sitting along the boulevard, followed by the center of town where there is a long strip of small businesses with and older district feel.  We checked out some spots and came across this restaurant, from the street we admired the architecture and the stone and tile work all over the building. We took pictures and where dying to go inside to check it out.   The inside of the restaurant was even nicer than the outside. It was breath-taking, like walking into a foreign city or a Zorro movie

Rasa Sayang: Malaysian and Chinese Cuisine 1425 Market Blvd # 1390 Roswell GA 30076 (770) 643-8812 www. rasa sayang restaurant.com  Daniel Ng, the owner was a great host. We had the opportunity to speak with him about business and   he took the time to tell us about the menu and the popular items. Daniel made sure we were enjoying our time and the great food. We started with the family size Tom Yum Soup, which we couldn't get enough of, until our dishes were placed in front of our faces. We stopped drinking long enough to dig into the main course. The  Rasa Sayang Ayam, Udang Kelapa  was amazing. I was beyond full but I couldn't help but scoop another spoon full of the Chicken and shrimp from those overflowing coconut shells. I ordered the Thai Spicy Beef Pad See U, which was good as well, but not nearly as mouth watering as the Rasa Sayang Ayam, Udang Kelapa.  The Curry dishes are the next on our list to try at Rasa Sayang.

Nice Mon! 663 S Stone Mt Lithonia # B Stone Mountain, GA 30083 (678) 476-0013 Greg recommended we go here, so I finally made it to Stone Mountain for my first taste of Deklab Jamaican food. We decided to come for lunch on Valentines day and it was a good choice because it was quiet and we got to talk with the owner and gain some insight into the family business and her menu of tasty items. We both ordered Ox tails and slurped it down as fast as we could muster. I couldn't get enough, maybe the plate was too small... The homemade lemonade with the cane sugar was a hit as well.

Penang 2491 George Busbee Pkwy NW, Kennesaw, GA 30144 (678) 213-4848 This restaurant was rated based on the old location on Buford Hwy in Atlanta. The restaurant is decorated with bamboo and looks like you are eating in a small village in the country. This is my favorite spot for Roti Canai. I can eat Roti Canai all day if you let me... No sharing of that dish, we both got one so we wouldn't be fighting over the sauce or the bread! My friend ordered the Curry Beef Stew with Noodles which we shared. My all time favorite is the Beef Chow Fun with red chilies.
