Elements, Chapel Hill

Lunch here with Mauricio. We shared the Chicken Potstickers: Pan Seared Dumplings, Truffle Soy Sauce

Mauricio had the Saigon Noodles: Wokked Lemongrass Flank Steak, Cool Rice Noodles, Pickled Vegetables, Cucumber, Bean Sprouts, Nuoc Cham, Crispy Shallots, Peanuts

TW had the Fresh Catch of the Day (salmon): Pan Roasted, Stir Fried Vegetables, Jasmine Rice 

I had the Panko Chicken: Thai Yellow Curry, Stir Fried Vegetables, Jasmine Rice 

Everything was superbly prepared and presented. This place is a winner. 2 on the NIH scale.

TW says: only drawback was that her dish was heavily sweetened (sweet soy sauce perhaps).  Not what she would have preferred. But the setting was lovely, including about 10 orchid plants in the window where we were seated.
