Yay! What a nice little surprise. One of the (vegan) food blogs I read, To Live and Eat in LA, is doing a series of reviews in Portland, Oregon. Today, they reviewed my cousin’s restaurant, Kinta.
Tropical Malaysian Curry Soup via To Live and Eat in LA
I got to eat there on our tour with Blonde Redhead around April last year. I cannot for the life of me find the photographs from then, maybe I never took any, maybe they were lost in the two computer crashes since then. Major bummer!
I remember the food being really tasty. It had been the first time I had Malaysian food (though they call it “New Malaysian”). My cousin Dennis (Tu) and his wife Pon run the restaurant. She cooks and comes up with the recipes and he does everything else. It was in a cute little neighborhood, with lots of bike riders and pedestrians. I can’t remember what we ordered that day, but I do remember a very warm feeling that evening. The weather, food and atmosphere were pitch-perfect. No doubt, I was thankful to have a such lovely vegetarian dinner on the road!
Look what I found! A photo of me and my cousin after our set at the Wonder Ballroom. I look freakin nuts.

If ever in Portland, Kinta is a must!

How cool the Dennis is your cousin! If my family had anything to do with this place I’d be eating there everyday
Glad you found my review… and I am so glad I got to visit Kinta.
That soup looks frakkin’ amazing. Like, good enough to get on a plane for.
Thanks for writing this.
