 I'll second the good word on the Spice Island Tea House: yummy food,
 wonderful people, and very cozy atmosphere (funky chairs!).  The only
 complaint I had was that the food (especially the Malaysian Sate
 Noodle with Seafood) had too much oil.  I told them, and they assure
 me they'll reduce the oil.  I'll know for sure when I go there again
 next week!

 Yinz have a great weekeend,

 It's called the "Spice Island Tea House".  There's not much of a sign
 (just a poster with the name taped on the window) so you have to
 keep an eye out for it.  It's on Atwood, south of Forbes, near where
 they are putting up that new office building - on the left hand side
 if you are coming from Forbes.

 Anyway, I heartily recommend this place - I've been there twice so
 far and both times it's been fabulous.  I could eat the
 Ol Gaht (sp? - it's the eggplant pate) every day of my life!
