Nicer Rice
It’s not just a vegetarian thing—more a health-food cliche—but I prefer brown rice to white. It’s healthier and tastier, all-around more satisfying. So I’ve often lamented the difficulty of getting brown rice at restaurants around Winston-Salem.
Well, things are getting better. Sampan Chinese Restaurant, at 985 Peters Creek Parkway, and Thai Sawatdee, inside the Harris Teeter at 2281 Cloverdale Ave., both offer brown rice as an option with meals. There is often an extra charge for subbing brown rice – brown-rice fans will likely be glad to pay it. Both restaurants also offer a variety of veg-friendly meals, so they’re getting close to tofu paradise.
Does anyone know of other restaurants around town where brown rice is an alternative to white?
