Back in early July Jon and I ventured down to Utah County to try out a new restaurant, Rooster.
It's a nice little restaurant. Emphasis on little though. We decided to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather.
We had already planned on ordering some dumplings, but took a look over the menu to see if there was anything else we wanted to try. The waiter sold us on the idea of trying their bubble tea. I'd heard of bubble tea but hadn't had it before. It's a milk tea that has boba balls in it. Boba balls are made from a mixture of tapioca and carrageenan powder. The straw for the drink was huge, maybe a half inch wide. I don't think Jon was sold on it, but I might get one again sometime.
For dinner we ordered the Rolled Rice Noodles with peanut sauce and hoisin, an order of Shrimp & Roasted Red Pepper dumplings and Veggies & Tofu dumplings. I tried both of the dumplings and thought they were great. Jon only had the Veggies & tofu but agreed that they were good. Neither of us were really in love with the rolled rice noodles. We both love sticky rice with peanut sauce and thought the rolled noodles might be just as good, but didn't think so in the end.

(We were so excited to dig in I forget to get a picture until we were almost done.)
For desert we got their Chocolate Lava Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream. It was *A-MAZING*! I checked their menu as I am typing this and found they don't have the lava cake with ice cream anymore. I wonder if they will substitute ice cream.

If you are in the area or looking for a new place to try out, I recommend it. Plus what can it hurt going to some place new?

We just went there on Saturday! We, too, liked the dumplings -- all varieties, but especially the veggie ones. We also got a curry noodle dish, but it wasn't as fabulous as I thought it would be. It was a nice change, but I probably wouldn't rush to go back... We actually really like the hot pot place across the street and up a bit.
Next time you guys are down this way, lets go to Pizzeria 712. Its soooo tasty and we can't get enough...
mmm I *love* Pizzeria 712. We'll have to make plans to get together.
