Mr. Spicy (Grantville)(lunch revisit)

mmm-yoso!!!  is ta food blog and three of us share in the writing of posts.  Right now, both Kirk and Ed(from Yuma) are unavailable to write anything.  Since Cathy is available, she is writing today.  

It has been about a year and a half since I first wrote about Mr. Spicy.    Just 'down the hill' from home (a route both The Mister and I drive to avoid the freeways), it's easy to drop in and pick up something 'to go'.  On the rare occasions when both of us are home on the same day, we choose to stop here for lunch.
 There is a lunch menu under the glass top of each table.  The prices vary dependent on the primary ingredients.  As you will soon see, the photographs of the plates are accurate.  
 Still no charge for hot tea here; I like that.  Soup comes with every meal. 

  An egg roll (vegetable) will set you back 50¢.  It's nice.  The eggplant with brown sauce (I had ordered with Szechuan sauce, but  there was a communication problem)($5.99) was a very good plate of food; it was just fresh and good and hearty.  It didn't even need the spicy 'kick' that I thought I wanted.    The fish with Szechuan sauce ($7.99) was delightful; a thin breading gave each piece of fish a nice light 'crunch' and the vegetables (onion, carrot and green pepper) were just right, as was the sauce.  Very fresh tastes with this dish.  
The Mister orders orange chicken ($6.99) every time.  He stares at the menu, pretends to be considering something else, but when it comes time to order…he is predictable.  It's a good size serving of lightly crunchy large pieces of tender chicken in a very nice spicy sauce.  

We really like the dry pot and twice cooked fish from the dinner menu and one of those always shows up when we eat here or order to take home later in the day.   This family owned and run restaurant is good.
