Lemongrass Plates
I remember in the beginning how there was a huge line to get a plate of lemongrass chicken. There was a huge grill outside at the Farmer’s Market once a week. Smoke billowed into the sky and you could smell the delicious chicken a block away.

Island Style Cafe
It’s been a while since Island Style Cafe closed on Santo Road. We were happy to see them reopen in their new location. Deep in the heart of Santee their mall location had lots of free parking. Only downside I could see is it’s gonna be real hot in the summer.

Island Style Cafe
I remember the summer trips to Hawaii. Lovely clear skies and white sand beaches. Hawaiian plate lunches and shaved ice for dessert closed out many wonderful days. San Diego has a good number of spots to get a plate lunch and shaved ice. Island Style Cafe is one of my favorite.

Fung Fung Yuen
I visited this building a few times a year whenever Hometown Buffet mailed me a good coupon. The lines were long when it first opened. I miss the fried chicken from Hometown Buffet. It’s alot fancier now they have transformed into Fung Fung Yuen. I came with the family and lots of dishes were ordered.
