It was the pictures in an ad on my computer for some
oriental dinners that made me head for dinner over to PeiWei off Palmetto in
Boca DelMar. The week before I was
headed to Trader Joes on Federal and Linton, to buy fish for dinner, but when I
saw a new PeiWei there, I happily succumbed.
They steamed my shrimp and I ordered lo mein to go with it. Very tasty and healthy. They had a new item, CRUNCH ROLLS that look
delicious, but I was not hungry enough to have that too. Maybe next time. Opened and ate three fortune cookies, liking
the first one best which said, “Good Times are Ahead.” I figure if I open three, one is bound to be
good. And, I like the taste of the
cookies. Their chocolate chip cookies are crunchy and have chocolate
bursts. There are gluten free
alternatives too. Choose from spicy or
not spicy vegetable spring rolls, crab wontons, lettuce wraps and chicken, shrimp, steak or vegetables and
tofu dishes. Top it all off with fresh cut orange slices, found usually where
the utensils are. What is your favorite
meal there?
The décor is “quiet” with dark wood benches, tables and
chairs. Enticing odors waft my way from
the open kitchen – all you see are the heads of the cooks, but you can hear
them cooking. When you order at the counter, they give you a small plastic sign
with a number and that is how the waiter finds you when your order is
ready. There is never a long wait. My small size portion was around $10. FYI Pei Wei has 190 locations in the US, including
Boynton Beach and West Palm Beach.
