Panama Update #149
March 28, 2009
Last night (Friday) Nikki and I took a taxi out to El Dorado. It was ony about a 15 minute ride with little traffic. It is in a section of Panama City that we haven't been to yet. By the time we got out there it was dark, but we walked around the main area of town. It is a town of strip mall after strip mall, for several blocks. We went there because several people have told us about all the Chinese stores and restaurants that are there. In the Chinese store we came across we stocked up on rice noodles and spices, things that are hard to find in other places. We bought some nice Curry spice and other spices that Nikki can use to make Chai tea. We saw several Chinese restaurants and found one that was all vegetarian. They serve the food in a cafeteria style. They had about 25 various items to choose from including noodle dishes, a variety of vegetables, sushi, dumplings, and much more. You point to what you want and they only charge $.25- $.50 an item. Including the soybean drink, the total for both of us was under $4, and was plenty of food.
