Monkey King - Finally!

Looking for something to do this evening, we discovered that Monkey King is now open for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights.  Yay!  We have wanted to try this place out for weeks now, but are never in that area for lunch.  It looks like a trip to Deep Ellum is on our agenda tonight.

Our first stop is at Lulu B's antique shop to check on a hand crank sewing machine that we spotted there awhile back.  It is still there, but $125.00 is still too high for the shape it is in.  Drat.  From here we are off to Monkey King to get some wonderful soup which we will take over to Calais and enjoy with Benjamin while sipping on a superb glass of wine.  (It is wine pick up night for the club so we are multi-tasking.)


Monkey King is this great Chinese noodle kitchen where the noodles are hand pulled to order.  There is always a line, but it is rather cold  out tonight and so we are lucky that the line is short.  I am not sure how Mister caught a picture of me without anyone else around.

They have a wonderful window with stools in front of it that you can sit and watch the noodles being pulled.  You all know how much I love this kind of thing, right?

Obviously, I take a seat as soon as I can and sit back to enjoy while I wait for our order.

I am not disappointed.  The process is fun to watch and yet at the same time, very intriguing.  Could I do this?  I would love to give it a try -- now to find a recipe as this noodle dough looks a bit tougher than my own.  I will do some research though.

We forgot to take pictures of the food or our time with Benjamin -- I know, I know - I am falling down on the job.  It was a great night though and we will certainly return to Monkey King.
