Left In Lowell

I’ve come to Great Plates a little late, but this week took advantage of the little promo. And thoroughly enjoyed it.

Yesterday I introduced a good friend to Market Street’s Centro and we both got the lunch Great Plate special - amazing salmon soup, chicken over orzo in coconut curry sauce, and a lovely, decadent chocolate mouse…all for under $10. They are lunch portions but we left pleasantly filled up.

Today I couldn’t help myself, I ended up at Blue Taleh to check out their choices. For just over $10, I got the equivalent of two maki rolls (California and spicy salmon, yum! I am sensing a theme for me here) and their great Pad Thai. Dessert was an ice cream sundae.

If you’re not a downtown worker like I am and can’t take advantage of these prices during weekday lunch, you can head down any time through Saturday, the 28th, for a lunch or dinner Great Plate. My review - it’s a great deal for really good food.

Off topic (sort of) but still about food - I also heard about the new market which is in development for Market St (called, appropriately, the Market St Market). It’s promising to be a sort of mini Trader Joe’s. I hope they carry unsweetened almond milk, my milk substitute of choice! If they do, I’ll be there a lot…
