Bob's Noodle House

One of the most delicious dishes at Bob's Noodle House looks like an early generation breast implant. It's an upturned teacup of grey-toned rice surrounding a stuffing of chopped and spiced meats in a silky gravy. You'll find it in the appetizer section of this Taiwanese restaurant's menu whose clientele is almost entirely Asian. Don't go to Bob's for the decor - it's a straightforward Formica tabletop place with bright lights and little more. A new date not fully committed to food would not be impressed. Service is brisk and efficient, the food arriving almost instantaneously even when you've picked from the family menu, building a meal from Columns A, B, and C. We looked about at what Taiwanese and Chinese families were eating and asked for those dishes. The photo shows a massive plate of fried fish in a lemony sauce that had already been attacked before I remembered to take out my camera.
