We had a wonderful $20 Tuesday dinner at Lighthouse Tofu last night. (2 people didn't come so it was party of 8.)

What we shared were:

-Seafood pancakes - 2 orders

-Bulgogi

-Spicy stir-fried baby squid and noodle (#13) - 2 orders

-BBQ short ribs

Followings tofu soups are individually ordered:

-Beef/Pork (spicy spicy)

-Mushroom (spicy)

-Mixed seafood/meat (spicy)

-Oyster (spicy spicy)

The total price was $143.xx (? - correct me if I am wrong) so we paid $21.75 each including tip.

The dinner was wonderful. Thank you Catharine for organizing the dinner!

Just a reminder for those attending the Thai Square $20 Tuesday tomorrow - DO NOT park in the parking lot in front of Boston Market (the corner of Glebe and Columbia Pike) or your car will probably be towed. There is parking behind the restaurant - just go down the little alley (enter from Columbia Pike) that is between Boston Market and the jewelry store next to Thai Square. You might also find parking at the meters along Columbia Pike, but don't count on it. See you all there!

If I may make some suggestions based on extensive experience:

Not to be missed:

#59 Pig Knuckle Stew ($11.95)

#44 Crispy Honey Roasted Duck with Basil ($13.95)

#37 Roasted Duck in Red Curry Sauce ($10.95)

Often great:

#71 Potpourri Shrimp with Bean Threads ($12.95)

#67 Pad Ped Pla Dook (Yellow Catfish - $10.50)

#6 Pla Plamuk (Spicy Squid Salad - $7.95)

#70 Sukiyaki (Thai Style - $10.95)

#52 Sauteed Eggplant and Chicken with Basil ($9.50)

Plenty of other treasures to find as well, but the top three things should not be optional.

If anyone gets the Tod Mun Pla (Fish Cake), please tell me what the scent is. It's not cumin, or coriander, but something medicinal, more akin to lye, but not in a bad way at all.

And a Singha to wash it all down with, of course.

Cheers,

Rocks.

11/13 is no good - the Cava $20 Tuesday, right up the road, is already scheduled on that date.
Actually, Tuesdays in general aren't good for us anymore. Just found out that our regularly scheduled hockey clinics are that night. So I think we're out for the winter. :blink:

Uh, hang on there, DanielK. I hadn't set the date yet, but as the other person who hatched this plan with me isn't available on the 27th, it'll have to be the 20th.

Sorry - I was going off of the response in the topic. I will change, but it looks like you might lose a lot of the attendance.

Everyone, please let me know, here or PM, whether you're still in for the 20th. Note that this is the Tuesday before Thanksgiving - I for one am out because of this.

I know, and I'm sorry, but it wouldn't be fair to the person who hatched the plan with me. It was my fault for putting the 27th up as an option in the first place -I'd forgotten that she couldn't make it that day.
