Diversity is the spice of life.

Rene Teran Creative Director
Last year, some of our readers may remember that we dedicated the May issue to Asian Pacific Heritage Month (and to Mom). Well this year we decided to take it a step further and encompass an even wider array of cultural diversity. It seems only fitting that since I myself am half Asian and half Hispanic/ European, that we should broaden our content this month for what i’m thinking is going to be the first Annual Ethnic Issue.
General Manager
This month we are covering Asia, Africa, Central America, and then a few more in between. It is our hopes that we might encourage some of our readers to broaden horizons and try something new.
Accounts
Of course for our more cosmopolitan readers, I feel confident that we have done our due diligence in finding you something new. Maybe it’s a new recipe (you have to try the Massaman Curry, page 31) or a new favorite beer (page 58).; or possibly a new place to shop. We are so fortunate to have quite a wide selection of offerings for a relatively small city. Did you know that on Montgomery Cross Road alone, there are a Mexican, Caribbean, and Korean market? Not to mention the city’s only truly Korean restaurant and also Savannah’s largest Latin bakery. I must admit we had a great time putting together this issue: browsing through all the markets, seeing vegetables i’ve never seen before; picking up jars and cans with labels in different languages and from countries that i’ve never been to; the smells, the colors, the people! Regardless of what country you come from or what language one speaks, it has become apparent to me that Southern hospitality is pervasive throughout Savannah. We came across some of the friendliest business owners around and they could hardly even speak English. Luckily, courtesy is a universal language and I hope that after reading this issue, some of you might be inspired to spread some around yourself! So go out there and try something new - or even better yet, if there’s something we missed, please let us know about it. We love to hear from our readers, as it is you who make this whole endeavor worth while. Also, don’t forget to save the date: June 23rd is the annual City of Savannah’s Asian Festival. This year looks like it’s going to be the best ever and you can be sure that the Well FED Family will be out there to show our support. Be sure to check out next month’s issue for a schedule of events. In the meantime, we look forward to hearing from you and about your own exploration into Savannah’s rich cultural landscape. See you at the Asian Festival!

Flowers
not just another pretty face.
Diggin' in the Dirt
Flowers have captivated the esthetic eye of humans from the beginning of time. Mystics and poets have praised them; artists have portrayed them; people from every societal class have toiled to grow them.
with
Kelly Lockam
y
We pay good money to have them grace our tables and homes, celebrate weddings, birthdays and funerals, decorate our holy places and shrines. What is it about flowers that so easily captivate us? Is it simply beauty, or do they speak to a deeper knowing of what we need to survive? Without flowers, there would be no vegetable, no pollinator, and no beneficial predator in the garden.
Attract & Support Pollinators Hark back to your elementary biology class explaining where fruits and vegetables come from. There’s the cycle of seed-plant-flowerfruit-seed involving other elements such as sun, water, nutrients, and pollinators to come to fruition. If any one of these elements is missing, the cycle is broken and we go hungry. We’re all aware of the deadly “Colony Collapse Disorder” decimating the honey bee population. Even chemical farmers need bees and other pollinators to complete the growing cycle and make their efforts pay off. They’ve formulated insecticides to take the place of predator insects, but no one has come up with a substitute for the humble, under-praised pollinator. Flowers and pollinators have a mutualistic symbiosis. Without them life on earth would not exist in the same way.
Nectar Source for Predator Insects Flowers serve another function in the vegetable garden and orchard. Predator insects are also nectavores. When their prey of choice is scarce or absent, the predators turn to nectar for sustenance. Also the different life stages of the insect determine its food of choice. Take the wasp for example: the adults are exclusively nectavores, while their young are carnivores. The wasp exists in two categories, solitary or social. The solitary wasp lays its eggs on the prey which becomes a food source for the larva, eventually killing the prey. The social wasp lives in colonies, you know, like hornets nests and other paper-like nests. They actually carry the prey back to the nest to feed the larva once it hatches out. These are the kinds that have stingers to immobilize the prey while in transport and storage. Growing nectar-rich flowers alongside and interplanted with your vegetable crops afford the predators easy access to food right where you want them to be patrolling for insects for their young. Well FED

Trap Costs Allowing a small population of plant eating, sap sucking insects in your garden is a good idea in order to keep the predator population strong and reproducing. A good way to do this is by growing trap crops of plants the insects prefer to eat over your vegetable crop. Thereby deflecting the damage they do. Some of the plants include: Yellow Rocket (aka wild mustard), radish, and nasturtium will trap insects that eat your broccoli, cabbage and other brassicas; Medic (that wild yellowflowered, clover-like plant so abundant through winter and spring in our area), will trap the carrot fly; the hot cherry pepper can be sacrificed so that the bell pepper plant will flourish; and Tansy should be planted in abundance, it’s a trap for the
Colorado potato beetle and also is very beneficial as a nectar source for predators. Plant eating insects should also be controlled on the trap crops so as to maintain the trap crop, and they should not be allowed to reproduce which will create more insects that will then move on and into the garden crops. Using a bucket with soapy water is an easy way to treat the most infested areas and simply knock or dunk the bugs into the solution. Be careful not to drown the beneficial insects that may also be there feasting on that abundant food supply. Learn some basic bug identification, the internet is invaluable for this sort of research.
Flower Suggestions Some of my favorite summer flowers come from childhood memories in my grandmother’s garden where she always had a huge plot of thickly planted zinnias in a riot of different colors. We always had cut flowers on the table in the summer, which is a tradition I carry on to this day. Sunflowers of all shapes, colors and sizes are readily available, easy to grow from seed and beneficial to pollinators, they also reseed themselves easily from year to year. Cut the flower-heads off after the seeds have developed and leave them out by the bird feeders for your feathered friends to find. Tithonia, or Mexican sunflower keeps blooming all summer and provides many cut flowers in its lifetime, it also reseeds readily. Cleome, or spider flower, is an all time favorite. A member of the hemp family, your neighbors could be suspect of the five-fingered leafy plant until it begins to bloom, thereby removing suspicion of any illegal 14
Well FED
intentions. It also reseeds itself year after year and you’ll soon have a strain naturalized to your own garden. Marigolds have an aroma with a sense memory of childhood as well and some of the varieties ward off root knot nematodes, and, would the Hari Krishna’s be as memorable without them? Cosmos are rich in nectar and pollen, a great addition for the beneficial bugs in your garden. And of course as much room as you can afford for tansy for nectar, trap crop, and ingredient to make your own bug repellant tea-spray with. Don’t forget the perennials on the borders of your garden. Add groupings of hyssop, agastache, varieties of salvia, and “Maximillion,” a perennial sunflower. If space allows, try to leave an area of wildness where “weeds” and grasses can grow tall and wild, these areas support beneficial insects, attract birds and even frogs if there’s a water source. I love to let lambs quarters grow wild, they pop up randomly on the edge of the garden and along the chicken yard fence. They’re in the amaranth family and are amazingly nutritious and can be used as a cooked green or mixed into salad greens in the summer. My chickens benefit from these greens every day all summer long. So consider the beautiful, joyful, and ecologically critical flower as a necessary ingredient to your yard, garden or potted plant collection this year. And bring a little sunshine inside with a beautiful flower garden arrangement.

To Market, To Market Did you know that there are nearly 20 ethnic markets in Savannah? And I’m not talking about World Market or Pier One.The benefits of buying local also extend to our cultural cousins from around the world.These business owners and their families are living the real American dream of business ownership and it is with pride that we should patronize these truly unique gems within our city. With such a wide array of establishments, I would venture to say that there is probably one within a ten minute drive from your house right now. So the next time you’re looking for something different to do; why not try exploring one of these great shops?
Hong Tan Oriental Grocery
816 Pennsylvania Avenue - (912) 233-9184 Named for the Vietnamese family owners, this quaint Asian grocery stands out amongst the rest for the abundant selection of fresh produce and even a few live plants for sale. Upon visiting, you are greeted by one of the friendliest and welcoming owners I’ve met, who are more than accommodating in assisting you with any questions you should have. If you’re looking to try and do some Vietnamese cooking at home, this is a great place to start.
Chinatown Market
1215 Price Street - (912) 238-8260 Don’t let the façade our initial view upon entering fool you. This is one of Savannah’s largest Asian markets and is frequented by many Asian restaurant owners as a source for fresh products and supplies. A walk through the aisles, located in the back of the establishment, is a lot to take in at once: I counted over 50 different types of noodles alone and nearly 20 different brands of rice. The selection is vast and includes selections from every major East Asian country. Be sure to take a peek into their walk-in cooler as well.The fresh selections change regularly and range from fresh seafood to meats and produce alike.

Well FED
Asia Market, Inc.
117 East Montgomery Cross Road - (912) 961-0170 Korean owned and comprised of primarily Korean products, this little shop is a must for Kimchi lovers. The products offered here are still quite varied though: from hard to find grains; to Korean toothbrushes and beauty products; to authentic metal Korean barbecue grills; this store contains unique Korean and east Asian products that are not seen anywhere else in Savannah. What’s also quite convenient is that they are on the same street as Kimchi II: Savannah’s only purely Korean restaurant; and also Lee’s Taekwondo Fitness Center: Savannah’s only Korean owned Taekwondo martial arts studio.
Viet Huong Oriental Market
7044 Hodgson Memorial Drive - (912) 335-7849 Our first visit to this newly opened store was impressive. Located in the Eisenhower Shopping Plaza, this business shares a distinct similarity to its neighbor, The Noodle Bowl Restaurant. Tucked away in the back of this shopping center, both establishments share an easily overlooked façade that all but hides the very generous and unique offering inside. The particularly clean and spacious store is set to be the largest Asian market in all of Savannah. Its Pan-Asian offerings include pretty much everything found at other stores, but with a particularly broad selection of meats, seafood, and fresh produce.This market and its neighbor make this a destination not to be overlooked.
Mi Vida Loca
Shivam Indian Grocery
54 W Montgomery Cross Road, # 3 - (912) 925-6677 The first thing you’ll notice when entering this large store is the wonderful smells of incense and spices. (Not to mention the Bollywood movies playing on the television.) A one-stop shop of all things Indian, this is one of my favorite shops in town. From ready to eat packaged dinners to fresh produce and snacks, this is a great place to explore and the cheapest place in town to get fresh herbs and spices. One of the easiest ways to get your start at making Indian cuisine at home is adding an Indian bottled sauce, paste, or spice packet, which Shivam has plenty to choose from. I’m particularly fond of Indian snacks and breads, then for the more seasoned culinary curiosities, I recommend venturing over to the shelves of chutney. With such a wide array of offerings, this is a great place to start your exploration of trying something new.
Savannah Tropical Market
310 E. Montgomery Cross Road - (912) 349-1437 Hiding on the first floor of a office and shopping plaza, we honestly stumbled upon this place while looking for an Asian market that has since closed. What we found inside was quite a treat and truly unique to the Savannah area. Offering Caribbean and African foods and spices, with names like Ugu (pumpkin leaves), Uziza (African pepper leaves), and Utazi (tuber root leaves). They also selling more “ethnic” cuts of meat, such as oxtails and lamb shoulders, it’s refreshing to a store like this in our city and it inspires me to try my hand at an African dish sometime very soon.
143 E. Montgomery Cross Rd - (912) 961-1488 Part restaurant and part market, this store is a great representation of the typical Latin American market, where you will regularly find the two combined. Most of these stores tend to be a one stop shop for Hispanic household necessities and a place for respite after a hard day’s work. There is a large selection of spices and dried peppers that dominate an entire wall, while the other aisles are a mix of candies, snacks, and canned goods. Anything you need to prepare your next authentic Mexican dinner is here, plus ample seating in case you’d rather sit and let the professionals take care of you instead. This was actually the first Hispanic market we visited on our quest to catalog them all.What we soon learned from our very friendly host behind the counter was that if we planned on visiting every Taqueria (taco shop) and Tienda (store) in the area, we had quite a long road ahead of us. In the greater Savannah area alone, there are at least 8 others that are not too dissimilar to Mi Vida Loca. Unfortunately, we were unable to visit them all, but would like to mention at least one more that stood out and was nearby:
San Jose III
104 Tibet Ave. - (912) 961-7925 This market stood out, due to its ample selection of fresh produce and Latin dairy products. Fresh Latin cheeses, I had not seen before, were among a selection of crèmes inside their cooler. Pinatas hung from the ceiling and vegetables I could not name were filling boxes along the floor. The usual wide selection of dehydrated herbs and spices, canned goods, and spicy sweets, filled the aisles. While the owner didn’t speak a word of English, she quickly called her daughter on her cell phone so that we could communicate. She was as welcoming as any I’d met before her and I’m sure she would do the same for anyone who was to come themselves.

In the open air markets of the Eastern world, inhabitants and visitors would come from miles around to smell, select and purchase fresh and natural food ingredients. This centuries-old way of life is what the concept of The Spice and Tea Exchange was built around. Located near the corner of Broughton and Bull Streets near the oldest square in Savannah, the store is a fun and interactive experience where everyone who enters its doors is able to smell the wonderful freshness of the contents of the jars. From flavorful teas to rare herbs, spices and more, just a waft of scent can turn even the most amateur cook into a gourmet chef.
To further expand your knowledge of the original food additives, we’ve broken down a few examples of some of our more international herbs, spices and custom blends. You’ll find it to be a cross-cultural selection due to the trading practices that date back to the Silk Road from China, the Greco-Roman Incense Route and the European Age of Discovery. These historical routes were politically and economically controlled, and spices like peppers, cinnamon, and turmeric were among the many early traded items.
Grains of Paradise are the seeds from a plant that is a member of the ginger and cardamom family. Indigenous to the West Coast of Africa, the seeds have a wonderful pungent & peppery flavor with hints of their familial ginger and that cardamom essence and are still used in much the same way as peppers. They were once considered an expensive and elite delicacy for those who could afford them, but they can still sometimes remain expensive to acquire outside of their indigenous region. The name comes from early trading before direct routes to Africa were established. Traders found them so exotic they claimed they only grew in the Garden of Eden and were harvested from the River of Paradise as they floated out.
Ginger is one of the oldest oriental spices and believed to have originated between northern India and eastern Asia. The flavor is pungent, tangy, sweet, spicy and warm with a lemon-like freshness. Ginger is a very versatile spice used for savory Asian dishes and Indian curries, as well as a wide variety of baking recipes.
Cardamom, like Grains of Paradise, is one of the more expensive spices in the Western world. Green cardamom is native to India and South Asia and is used in a variety of ways. The seed is typically removed from the pod (decorticated) and ground down to a fine powder. Its strong and perfume-like flavor is one you’ll find in many different curries and Scandinavian sweet dishes such as coffee cakes pastries. The most familiar taste is in Indian spiced (Chai) tea.
Allspice is the dried and cured unripe berry from a tropical tree native to Jamaica. Historically it was called ‘allspice’ because it contained the flavor nuances of several other popular spices such as cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Because of its full and slightly sweet flavor, allspice is found in many baking recipes but is also used in savory dishes such as our Crab and Shrimp boil and Jamaican Jerk seasonings.
Coriander is related to the parsley and carrot family. The coriander-cilantro plant is very versatile in that it produces both an edible seed and herbal leaf. ‘Cilantro’ is the common Western term used for its slightly citrus and peppery tasting leaves. However, the seeds are commonly known as Coriander and are about the size of peppercorns with a light goldenbrown color. These unique seeds are warm, mild and sweetish with a citrus undertone similar to orange peel. The whole seeds are used in pickling brine and seafood boils, or are dry-fried before crushing and grinding.
Anise Star is the dried, star-shaped fruit of a small Asian evergreen. Unrelated to each other, star anise has an even stronger licorice flavor than anise seed and is most often used in baking. It is also a key ingredient in Chinese savory cooking and is one of the 5 ingredients in the renowned ‘Chinese 5-Spice’ seasoning blend. You’ll recognize its distinctive flavor in liqueurs such as Galliano and Sambuca.
Saffron, typically thought of as one of the most expensive spices in the world, is a widely used ingredient in many cultures. The spice is actually the stigma of the saffron crocus flower that has a perfume and hay-like aroma. It is used to add a beautiful red or yellow color to a dish as well as add flavor to curries, rices, and the wellknown Spanish Paella.
Sumac, not to be confused with the “poison” variety common in North America, originates from the Mediterranean. It has a tart and slightly fruity flavor that pairs well with fish, hummus, breads or other dishes. The real gem of sumac is that it can be used to impart a lemon like flavor without the sometimesoverpowering strength of real lemons.
One of the biggest highlights of our store is our in-house preparation that takes all of these various mentioned ingredients and mixes them into over seventy different Custom Blends. The fresh seasonings include Steak Rubs, Curries, Fish Rubs and so much more. From Popcorn or Pizza seasoning to Blood Mary Mix, you can also get hard to find blends like Ras El Hanout and Zahtar. It is a variety so vast that you can truly only experience it by standing before the entire selection inside the shop. Below are two of our best sellers:
Garam Masala, which is a curry blend more commonly found in Northern India, is just one of our many international seasonings. The name literally translates as ‘warm spice’, for its smooth and slightly heated flavor. Used either as a finishing seasoning or added near the end stage of cooking, it is among the rich blend of spices like cardamom, cumin, and coriander.
Tuscany Blend is one of our most popular and versatile seasonings. It is a delicious Italian essence with many varied uses. You can toss with pasta, or brush chicken with olive oil and coat with it before cooking, or add to oil and vinegar for bread dips. This wonderful mix of flavor includes tomato powder, rosemary, basil, parsley and is given some spicy pep with Aji pepper and chili flakes.
You’ve been given some knowledge, but now it’s time to experience the scents and culinary wonders for yourself! We are a can’t-miss stop in downtown Savannah on Broughton Street and hope to see you soon in this unique shop to evidence the whole world of an old time “Spice and Tea Exchange” within our walls.
The Spice and Tea Exchange is located at14 West Broughton St.For more information, call 912-790-1669 or visit them online atwww.spiceandtea.com.

Local Animal Welfare Organizations: Help them, Help Animals! The Well FED Family loves our animal companions! That’s just one of the reasons that we are the only major publication in our area to have a monthly pet column. But this month, we would like to take this opportunity to raise awareness for a few of our favorite local organizations that tirelessly and relentlessly are looking out for animals in need. We hope that all our Well FED readers would take a moment to look into these organizations and find it in your heart to support them in any way you can. Without your generosity, these vital groups and the services they provide would not be possible. To find out how you can help, please visit their websites or give them a call, you’ll be happy you did.
Save A Life

912-598-7729
An all volunteer non-profit animal welfare organization created to prevent overpopulation of companion animals through low cost spaying and neutering. Save-A-Life also provides foster care, necessary medical treatment for foster animals, and a placement assistance program to help members of the public place their companion animals. All funding for SAL programs comes from donations and fund raising activities.
SNAC-The Spay & Neuter Alliance & Clinic
snac1.com
843-645-2500
Located less than an hour away from Savannah, SNAC is the first high-volume, low-cost spay/neuter clinic in the region. With as many as six million pets euthanized each year, SNAC is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help reduce the euthanization and shelter intake rates. It does that by providing high-quality and low-cost spays and neuters to individuals, shelters, animal rescue groups and feral cat colony keepers.
The Milton Project
themiltonproject.org
912-346-4943
Too often, cats and kittens are disposed of in cruel ways and their goal is to reduce the number of unwanted litters by spaying and neutering. Cats are feral when they are either born in the wild or are left to fend for themselves and become distanced from humans. Often they live in colonies of other cats (up to 30 in each colony) and they reproduce at incredible rates. That’s why the Milton project has developed a trap, neuter, and return program to help keep their numbers down. The Milton project is a non-profit organization, completely funded and supported through generous volunteers that contribute their time and money and caretakers that donate to our TNR program.

Tomato Surprise Intro by Matthew Warren
Donnie Simmons, born and raised in Charlotte, NC was a normal, happy child; but somewhere along the way he developed a love for rock and roll, hot rods, food, and the Culinary arts. He began his professional career in hospitality and foodservice in the ‘90s and today is recognized as a strong leader in the industry. A well known chef in the music industry, where he cooked and toured with many artists, Chef Simmons is very passionate about his craft and loves bringing the

joy of great food to hungry people. He prides himself in southern cuisine and if you are from the south then you know we fry just about anything. Donnie considers his cooking style southern fusion, but with a twist.While he admires classic southern cooking, he puts a bit of himself into every recipe and makes it his own - “a creation from southern food redefined with a side of love.”

Tomato Surprise
Now residing in Savannah, GA, Chef Don is the Executive Chef of Temperance, opening soon on Broughton Street. He has already made a name for himself here though by taking Taco Abajo, a simple Mexican street food concept and making it the talk of the town. How did he do it? First, by perfecting items already on the menu and then creating and presenting new specials everyday using some of the freshest, organic, and local ingredients available. He is very thorough when it comes to keeping the kitchen stocked with good food, while doing his best to promote healthy eating. A few of Donnie’s favorite local sources to purchase from include Flat Creek Lodge, Hunter Cattle, Walker Farm and Joseph’s Farm. He hand picks his vegetables and fruits to make sure only the finest ingredients are in his kitchen. For this recipe, Donnie purchased the main ingredients from the Forsyth Farmer’s Market. Local strawberries are in their peak season and will be available at the market through July. If you’re in the mood, you can even visit a local “U-Pick-It” farm and hand pick your own juicy berries. As for tomatoes which usually don’t come into full harvest until June, this year has been a hot one and they are ready and available from several farmers at the market. And don’t be alarmed by the ingredient list for the Tomato Surprise because it really is a delightful surprise. Who would think to combine sweet strawberries with tangy, savory tomatoes? Chef Donnie shares with us his recipe for this true summer inspired dish. Serve it as an refreshing starter or light dessert at your summer cookouts.
1 lb strawberries 1/4 cup light brown sugar Tsp vanilla extract Tsp apple cider vinegar Pinch of salt 3-5 tomatoes depending on size STRAWBERRY JAM: Rinse and dice strawberries, but reserve the tops, cutting them off about 1/4 inch from the top. Cook diced strawberries on low heat in a small saucepan for 15 minutes, adding in sugar, vanilla extract, vinegar, and salt, stirring occasionally until berries are soft. Remove from heat, store in covered container, and refrigerate for 1 hour to cool TOMATO PREP: Use middle aged vine ripe tomatoes around the size of a golf ball. (We used Roma tomatoes for this recipe, but you can use any type you wish.) Bring a medium sized pot filled with water and 4 tbsp of salt to a boil, then blanch tomatoes in boiling water for about 30 seconds. Then transfer to ice bath to cool for 5 minutes. Remove tops of tomatoes and scoop out insides with small spoon and discard.
Temperance is opening soon on Broughton St. in downtown Savannah. Learn more at the website, www.temperancesav.com. In the meantime visit Chef Donnie and taste his daily creations at Taco Abajo which is located at 217 W. Broughton St. Taco Abajo is open Sunday thru Wednesday 11AM to 12AM, and Thursday thru Saturday 11AM to 3AM. Call (912) 480-9050, join them on Facebook to get updates on daily specials, or check out their website, www.tacoabajo.com.
Fill tomatoes with the now cooled, strawberry jam and top with reserved strawberry tops and refrigerate for 3 hours. There are times in the cooking world when we must come up with something that’s different, unique and stylish. I wanted this recipe to set us apart. I wanted everyone to see how something so simple can be so sexy and delicious. This is a fun meal, so go and be creative with it. You could even try some fresh herb garnishes like basil or use blueberries instead of strawberries. Well FED

Thai in
A New
Savannah
Tradition Written by Tony Judnich
Flavors make memories, some reminiscent of the past, others to create a new experience. Each day, whether they’re working on perfecting a mouthwatering curry paste, preparing pad Thai with tantalizing tamarind juice, or adding garlic, cilantro and onions to spice up a from-scratch chili sauce for their Bangkok Chicken, P.J. and Ann Healy lovingly travel back to their culinary roots to treat their guests with the authentic tastes of Thailand. Earlier this year, the couple celebrated the one-year anniversary of PJ Thai Cuisine, their family-owned eatery in the heart of Savannah’s Historic District.
A Family Tradition “Our recipes were passed from our grandparents all the way to us,” says P.J., who grew up in San Bernardino, Ca.. “A lot of [other restaurants] buy their chili sauces, sweet and sour sauces and curry pastes in packages. We make them from scratch.”
P.J. arrived in Savannah via the U.S. Army, in which he served for three years. He also is a 10-year veteran of the National Guard and worked 11 years as a police officer in Savannah. P.J. met his wife in Thailand, where Ann worked at a five-star hotel in Bangkok, organizing international conventions, events and meetings for a variety of government and military groups. Worldwide adventurers and partners, P.J. and Ann are going strong in their fourth year of marriage.
A Healthy Choice Traditional Thai food contains many healthy vegetables, she says, and most items on the restaurant’s menu can be prepared vegetarian-style. Thai food also includes many natural herbs, such as basil, which is used to top off most curries.
Ann, his wife and business partner, agrees.“The flavors and the recipes are the signature of our families,” she says. “That’s why people like our food. It’s fresh.”
There’s the occasional concern that all Thai food is spicy, but that is not the case, says P.J. Diners can be assured that each entree at PJ Thai Cuisine is prepared to order, and any ingredients can be catered to customer specifications.

“We always tell people that not all Thai food is spicy. The spice is an extra, or an add-on,” he notes.

Massaman Curry 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 3 tablespoons of curry paste (Masaman curry paste available at any Asian grocery store) 1 ¼ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast. 3 tablespoon of sugar or brown sugar 1 teaspoon of salt 3 tablespoons tamarind paste 3 cups peeled, cubed potatoes 1 can of coconut milk
1.Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in curry paste; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in the cubed chicken, and cook until the pieces turn white on the outside, about 3 minutes. 2. Stir in sugar or brown sugar, fish sauce, tamarind paste, potatoes, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the chicken pieces are no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes and this recipe is ready to be served.
A Thai Feast One of the most popular dishes at PJ Thai Cuisine is the pad Thai, a mix of Thai rice noodles sautéed with tamarind juice, ground peanuts, eggs, onions, fresh bean sprouts and a choice of meat. A tamarind is a sweetand-sour fruit, banana-shaped, that is native to Thailand. P.J. notes that rice – like potatoes accompanying steak - is an integral part of each entrée, whether it complements Orange Chicken, “Ginger Lover” (sautéed shredded ginger with garlic, onions, black mushrooms, carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms, and a choice of chicken, pork, shrimp or beef in oyster sauce) or “Swimming Rama” (a bed of spinach and bean sprouts topped with peanut sauce and a choice of meat). Like a feast served in Thailand, the appetizers, curries, entrees and other parts of a meal at the restaurant are presented together, affording guests the ability to share and sample each other’s food. Most of the entrees, as well as the curry (served with rice) and noodle dishes, run about $8 apiece. The appetizer selection includes a vegetarian spring roll and deepfried chicken wings.Two types of soups, two kinds of salads, two selections of fried rice and three kinds of noodles help fill out the menu. And while Savannah’s temperature often can reach the almost year-round boiling point of tropical Thailand, guests at PJ Thai Cuisine can at least partially escape the Hostess City’s sultry conditions by slurping cool satisfaction from a Thai iced tea or Thai iced coffee. So whether you’re looking for heat or health, something old or something new, a solo snack or a family feast, the menu at PJ Thai Cuisine is the place for you. PJ Thai Cuisine is at 147 Abercorn, on the northwest corner of Abercorn Street and Oglethorpe Avenue, across from the Savannah Fire Department headquarters and The Colonial Park Cemetary.

A Taste
of Xalapa by Liz Querusio
Years ago, in a small town in Veracruz, Mexico, a young girl sat down for a snack and
found inspiration, …on her plate. Dish by dish, over time, her aunt and grandmother shared with her the secrets of her family’s authentic Veracruzano cooking. When that young girl grew up, she opened her own restaurant in Savannah to share the meals and precious memories her family enjoyed together. That young girl? Ernestina Ortiz. That restaurant? La Xalapena. Named after Xalapa, her beloved hometown and capital of Veracruz, La Xalapena (pronounced ‘la halapay-na’) opened on Skidaway Road in 2008. Over the last four years, it has become the home away from home for authentic Veracruzano-Mexicano cuisine in Savannah, a haven for lovers of the genuine article. In fact, noted local foodie Tim Rutherford recently raved in a Connect Savannah column that “each trip is more satisfying than the last.” The Xalapena experience starts with setting. The bright red and yellow patio and a welcoming garden make you feel like you’re on an island. In the afternoons, when the sun sets just so from across the street, the light shimmers through the patio windows. It pours inside and illuminates a pinboard layered in photos of friend, family, and happy customers. As you walk to your table, you can see red and blue piñatas hanging over the dining room, framing amazing tables full of food.
At La Xalapena, you will find real Mexican food made with real ingredients. There are no shortcuts, no Americanized ingredients that have been substituted to replace the real thing. You won’t find any commercial-grade onion or garlic powder plastic dispensers in the kitchen, just whole onions and garlic.As her Grandmother would say,“You need garlic for all your cooking.” Ernestina stays true to the basic staples of Mexican seasoning, liberally using oregano, laurel, and thyme. It is often said you can judge the quality of a Mexican restaurant by its salsa. If that’s the case, La Xalapena’s creamy green salsa is a taste that has launched thousands of chips.. “There is no secret family recipe,” says Ernestina, who makes all of her salsas using ingredients from her own garden. “It just depends on who makes it, everybody has their own individual touch.” The heat of the salsa depends on the individual jalapeno pepper, sometimes spicy, sometimes not, she explains. La Xalapena also offers an assortment of other homemade salsas including one that is made with mild fresh tomato and cilantro, one that is a deceptively spicy orange, and a delicious smoky, dark red salsa. La Xalapena features many traditional Veracruzano meals like tortas, a sandwich of steak, chicken, chorizo, or breaded beef, topped with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onions, avocados and beans. The bread alone is worth the visit.
One of the more popular entrees is the Mole Mexicano con Pollo, a recipe for a tender chicken cutlet smothered in rich tomato flavor. The chicken soaks up the rich and flavorful tomato sauce and makes it oh-so juicy! Served with classic white Mexican rice on a bed of lettuce, this chicken meal is perfect for a romantic dinner for two. Just because dinner is over, doesn’t mean the meal is over at La Xalapena. Try some homemade flan or some churros thicker than your thumb! The fried ice cream is presented in a huge fried shell, covered in whipped cream and chocolate sauce, perfect for sharing along with the sweet and fluffy sopapillas! For those looking to try something different, La Xalapena also has excellent traditional Mexican drinks. “They have some of the best Horchata,” says customer Lara Sims, describing the popular almondbased drink. You can also find Jamaica, a cranberrytasting drink made from the Hibiscus, as well as non-alcoholic sangria and sparkling apple cider. La Xalapena does not serve alcohol, meaning you won’t have to worry about getting your shoes stuck to a tequila-soaked floor. “It’s a calmer atmosphere, a more peaceful place,” Edna explains. Bar service in the future? Maybe. But for now, Ernestina likes her restaurant alcohol-free and doesn’t plan on changing this policy any time soon. Panoramic View of La Xalapa below.
La Xalapena is a family restaurant ran by family and close family friends. Ernestina, the hospitable matriarch takes orders and commands the front. Cousins are in the kitchen and Ernestina’s daughter Edna waits tables between tackling her physics homework. It’s not just the food that La Xalapena is known for -- providing guests with exceptional attention and service is this wait staff knows and does best. Every guest is catered to as if they’re in Ernestina’s own home. Add all the elements together and it all just feels right, like a relaxing Sunday dinner at grandma’s house, … or an afternoon snack in a small town in Veracruz.

La Xalapena is open 7 days a week and is located at 2308 Skidaway Rd. For more information, including menus, please visit www.la-xalapena.com. To make reservations or place an order for carryout, call La Xalapena at (912)234-0876.
Chicken Enchipotlado This Recipe makes 2 servings. Directions: Heat pan to medium high and grill the tomato slices on each side until they’re hot and juicy. Transfer the grilled tomatoes to a blender or food processor. Add chipotle peppers, ketchup, and salt. Puree the ingredients until they become a smooth sauce. Set the tomato sauce aside.
Ingredients:
• • • • • • Rinse the chicken cutlets and sprinkle both sides • with salt. Heat a frying pan to medium heat and add butter. Fry chicken cutlets on both sides for 5 •
2 boneless chicken breast cutlets 4 fresh tomatoes, sliced 1 small onion, sliced into strips 1 small can chipotle peppers 2 tbsp ketchup 1 tbsp butter dash of sugar dash of salt
minutes. Slit the cutlets in the middle to confirm that they’re cooked through. At this point, pour the tomato sauce over the cutlets, add a dash of sugar, and the sliced onions. Simmer the chicken for 5-8 minutes longer in the rich tomato sauce. Serve with on a bed of lettuce with white rice and a side of Mexican cream.

Victoria / Mexico
Victoria is a medium-bodied Viennastyle lager, with a rich amber color and toasted malt character, which is balanced with a smooth, crisp finish and low to mild hop aroma. Unlike many other popular Mexican brews, this beer is best served without a lime.
1Singha / Thailand
(Correctly pronounced Sing, but commonly as SingHa) Premium lager with a full body brewed with 100% Barley malt with a distinctively strong hop character. Founded in 1933 and brewed by Boon Rawd Brewery Co. LTD, the first ever brewery in Thailand. Boon Rawd is the only brewery to be granted royal permission to use the Garuda, a symbol of Thailand’s royal family, which can be found on the neck of each bottle. Their namesake and logo come from a mystical lion, commonly found in ancient Hindu and Thai stories. The Singha lion represents a strong and benevolent power.
Victoria was produced for the first time in 1865. The brewery and brand were acquired by Grupo Modelo in 1935, making Victoria Mexico’s oldest beer brand and is now considered the brand that most reflects the Mexican tradition of Grupo Modelo. It was not exported into the US (at least not legally) until 2010
3
Kingfisher / India
Premium pale lager, Very light both in color and taste. Nice bitterness and slight sweetness. Light yellow with a white head that diminishes quickly. The world’s best selling Indian beer. Started as five small breweries in south India dating back to 1857; then combined to form United Breweries Ltd in 1915 by Scottsman Thomas Leishman. I t soon became a favorite beer of not only locals but also British troops. Found in over 55 countries and first imported to US in 1983. Eventually demand grew to point where beer had to be produced in America under license from Kingfisher by Mendocino Brewing Company to the Kingfisher specifications.

4Tusker / Kenya
Another American style pale lager; Tusker has a balanced flavor with low sweetness, full body and moderate bitterness. Made with locally sourced ingredients from Africa, including: Malt from the Savannah and Massai Mara; Springwater from the Aberdare Mountains; Locally propagated yeast; Cornstarch from a local Kenyan company; And sugar from West Kenya. Renamed Tusker after co-founder of Kenya Breweries Ltd, George Hurst was killed by an elephant during a hunting expedition in 1932. The slogan “Bia Yangu, Nchi Yangu”, means “My Beer, My Country” in Swahili.
5Hitachino Nest White / Japan
Hitachino White is a mildly hopped Belgian style beer with notes of coriander, orange peel, and nutmeg. The brewery was founded in 1823 by Kiuchi Gihei, the leader of Kounosu Village. Kiuchi was in charge of collecting rice from farmers as land taxes for the ruling Tokugawa family. What originally started as a sake brewery that used the leftover rice stocks from tax collection, Kiuchi Brewery really started brewing beer in 1996, while still continuing to follow the same traditional high quality brewing methods they used for their sake over a hundred years earlier.
6Tsingtao / China
(pronounced Ching-Dow) Crisp, clean and slightly malty flavor with a slightly nutty sweet taste. Made from all-natural ingredients that include: domestically grown hops, barley, and spring water from Laoshan mountains. Founded in 1903 by German and British merchants in the German colony of Tsingtao (present day Qingdao), in China. The brewery still uses the same European brewing method and original yeast that was transported over from Germany more than a hundred years ago. Tsingtao is now sold in 62 countries around the world and is the #1 consumer product exported from China. That’s right, of all the consumer products this massive country produces, more than toys, more than electronics, more than any item you can read the label of in your home: it’s a beer that tops them all. We would like to thank Michael Cillo, beer manager at the Abercorn location, and all of Habersham Beverage Warehouse for their assistance with putting together this great cross-section of international beers. Along with one of the largest selections of domestic and import brews, spirits, and wines, all the beers mentioned in this article can be found at either of their two locations listed above.
