April RC – Moksa

This month it was my turn to pick the Restaurant Club spot and I made everyone cross the river into Cambridge to try Moksa.


What do you do when there are 10 people who want to try everything on the menu? We decided that everyone would get to choose one dish and we’d order two of everything and share. We ate all of that and then ordered a couple of extra items that we just couldn’t leave without trying. It was an Asian street-food feast! No Patricia Yeo sighting, but we did have a lovely server named Jonathan who gave us dessert on the house. Here’s what we tried (hopefully I remembered them all)…

Thai Green Mango & Papaya Salad, Peanuts
Vietnamese Rice Paper Roll, Spicy Tuna

Crab rangoon (real crab! no cream cheese!)
Vegetable dumplings
