Asian Taste
At the Saskbloggers lunch last weekend, we went to Jerry’s Food Emporium on 8th street. While I do like their food, I find it is tasteless, white, honky food. I had their Thai Chicken salad and it was terrible. The noodles were tasteless and bland and the sauce was watered down, inauthentic pap. But what do you expect from a family restaurant? At least their burgers are edible. I need something with a lot more kick. I suggested that the next time we get together we go to Asian Taste. They serve authentic East Indian and Pakistani food that will blow your doors off. Here is their menu. If you like spicy, curried food, then I would recommend the Dal Masala aka curried lentils. I especially love their vegetable samosas and spring rolls. They aren’t very spicy but I fixed that by soaking them in a whole lot of hot sauces. Yummy!
My kids hate flavorful food, and have no interest in eating any of the tasty yummies. They don’t serve french fries, hamburgers or chicken fingers. Thank the sky fairies for that! This is not a restaurant you want to bring small, picky eaters to. Even though I think grading is a waste of time, I know that anybody reading this crummy review will expect it, so I guess I have to give it 5 stars. Just go eat there already, what are you waiting for? Get off this idiot box computer and go get some tasty yummies now! I will even give you directions.
Here is their address:
Asian Taste
101 3rd ave North
Saskatoon, SK
Phone : 477-1044
But if that proves unhelpful, I will give you directions that any true Saskatonian can appreciate. It’s across the street from this thing. What’s it called?
Oh yeah, the Sturdy Stone Centre. It’s across the street from the Sturdy Stone Centre in the strip mall.
If you still need help finding it, there is no hope for you.

Usually I just park on the street but parking at Sturdy Stone is fine too. I never have too much trouble getting a parking spot on a Saturday afternoon.

Is it paid parking on Saturdays? Are there dishes that don’t blow doors off, for average people who need “Canadian hot”, not “foreign hot”?
What time in February or otherwise were you thinking of hosting the next gathering? 1:00 or 2:00?

The veggie samosas and spring rolls are pretty mild. Even the curried lentils aren’t really that hot at all. The naan isn’t the slightest bit curried and is very delicious. I believe you can also get plain rice and noodles, if that’s what floats your boat. Parking downtown will require plugging the meter, unfortunately.
Why not have it at 2:00 to give everybody enough time to get there? As for what time in February, I will have to get back to you.
