\"81\"<\/p>\n

SW, or SW Craft Bar (formerly known as “Senor Wong” and this is what I still call it) is one of our go-to local restaurants.<\/p>\n

Isn’t this sign cool?<\/p>\n

\"84\"<\/p>\n

\"85\"<\/p>\n

Inside is a bit dark, but we managed to get a table right by a window.<\/p>\n

And you get to see a light rail train passing by if you are lucky!<\/p>\n

\"83\"<\/p>\n

Terry checking out their menu.<\/p>\n

They basically have everything, plus many Asian influenced dishes.<\/p>\n

\"89\"<\/p>\n

This was Terry’s dinner.<\/p>\n

“el presidente burger: angus beef & mushroom patty, refried beans, chihuahua cheese, caramelized onions, roasted sweet peppers, sauteed mushrooms, mayo, crispy bacon, house-made adoba bbq sauce”.<\/p>\n

This is his favorite thing on their menu, and this is one of his favorite burgers in town!<\/p>\n

Check out my no-meat home-made burgers Terry likes, too, like this<\/a>, this<\/a>, or this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"90\"<\/p>\n

\"91\"<\/p>\n

This was what I had.<\/p>\n

“rice noodle salad: vermicelli noodles, spring greens, bean sprouts, fresh herbs, cucumbers, scallion oil, pickled vegetables, crushed peanuts, nouc cham dressing with lemongrass tofu”.<\/p>\n

This is my second time ordering this dish. This is so fresh and delicious. You can choose meat instead of tofu, but this lemongrass tofu is a must-try! So flavorful.<\/p>\n

\"86\"<\/p>\n

Well, last time we were here, I was very interested in their grilled baby octopus, but I was hesitant to try. This time they still had a happy hour menu, and I decided to go for it, because we could get it at the happy hour price.<\/p>\n

\"87\"<\/p>\n

The sesame seeds look like his eyes, but they are not. In case you are wondering (lol).<\/p>\n

\"88\"<\/p>\n

Their octopus was ABSOLUTELY delicious!! They were extremely tender, and the grill flavor was irresistible!<\/p>\n

I usually do not do this, but I had to tell our server to keep this on their menu forever.<\/p>\n

Well, he laughed, but he said they are not planning to discontinue it anytime soon.<\/p>\n

Yeah!<\/p>\n
