Satay Sarinah sits in a strip mall of in Alexandria, Virginia resturants featuring various international cuisines. Upon entering the restaurant I was greeted and shown to a table.
The menu features beef, poultry, lamb, and seafood dishes at affordable prices.
Appetizers to try: lumpiah (Indonesian spring rolls), lemper (sticky rice pillows stuffed with lemongrass flavored chicken wrapped in banana leaf) . Entrees to try: lamb satay, rendang, nasi goreng jawa (spicy Javanese fried rice), ketropak (a vegetarian dish featuring tofu, bean sprouts, and rice noodles).
The avocado chocolate smoothie is lsited in the beverages section, but I've ordered it for dessert. It is a nice treat.
The staff will politely offer suggestions if you are unsure what to order. Service is quiet, efficient and quick.
Single diners note: the staff and management makes a special effort to look after single diners.
The bathroom is clean and well maintained.
Satay Sarinah is not within walking distance of a metro station, but can you can visit via metro (Van Dorn Street) and bus or via car.

Out of the Fire
Out of the Fire in Easton, MD aims to please and hits the mark.
I discovered Out of the Fire while visiting Easton one Memorial Day weekend to see Chick Corea perform at a venue in Easton.
Standouts: cumin crusted scallops paired with a Tunisian carrot salad, Shrimp and grits with Out of the Fire's homemade tabasco butter (if you like your food spicy, request more of the spicy butter concoction), Kilby's Creamery ice cream sundae (a decadent chocolate brownie al a mode with chocolate or caramel sauce, whipped cream and candied peanuts). A nearby dinner saw the sundae and dubbed it 'death by chocolate'.
Unsure about which wine select with a dish? The knowledgeable staff can provide suggestions. A personal favorite is the Leth GrΓΌner Veltliner- it pairs well with the aforementioned scallops and shrimp dishes. Be sure to check the blackboard or ask the serve for the daily specials that frequently feature locally grown products.
