Myers and Chang- Number 34

At Myers and Chang we’re back in Asia, and after Shojo last week, I checked the menu before we went.  Myers and Chang is definitely Asian food, no fusion.  The restaurant was very busy, so I’m glad we booked, and it created a really great buzz. Of course, we like to start off with the ‘obligatory’ cocktail.  These were a bit different.  I opted for ‘Smokey the Bear’ a mezcal based cocktail (totally my ‘thing’ since discovering it at Puritan and Company) and Clark tried the ‘Bloodlust’, a take on a margarita.  What was a bit different were the salt rims they put on the glasses.  Mine had a ginger salt rim and Clark’s a sriracha one, which was actually quite spicy – and they made the cocktails a bit special.  We’ve never experienced that before.  In fact, the first time we had a rim that wasn’t the classic margarita salt, was the (now) infamous (among our family and friends) champagne-O-Rama, from the Continental Midtown in Philadelphia.  A cocktail that we thought was just champagne with a sugar cube and a grenadine sugar rim.  It wasn’t until Clark came home with a friend after having three of them (and he was more giggly than he should have been), that we actually looked at the ingredients and discovered there was also a rather large shot of raspberry vodka in it too.  Whoops.  I think almost everyone who visited experienced being “rama-ed” as we like to call it, and Clark’s sister, Stacy, now rather proudly makes her own version.  I digress; back to the restaurant du jour.
