Poleng Lounge receives kudos April 1, 2007 San Francisco Chronicle Magazine named Poleng Lounge as one of the " Top 100 Bay Area Restaurants " (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi- bin/listings/restaurants/listtop2007?Submit=1 & o=65): " Several Asian- inspired restaurants have recently opened in the Bay Area, but few places do it as well as this nightclub-restaurant that feels like it could be on the coast of Bali. Fortunately the dance club is located down a long hall, so the restaurant doesn't suffer. Tea is also a specialty and works its way into many cocktails and in savory dishes such as the richly flavored curries. Chef Tim Luym (a Rising Star chef), who is Chinese and Spanish, grew up in Manila and has a real feel for various cuisines that comprise the interesting menu. " The SF Chronicle previously named Poleng Lounge as one of the " Top 10 Restaurants of 2006 " (http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi? f=/c/a/2006/12/27/FDGV2N3U0G1.DTL) and honored Poleng Lounge Chef Tim Luym as Rising Star Chef 2007 (http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi? f=/c/a/2007/03/07/FDG54OFN9V1.DTL). The December 2006 issue of Common Ground Magazine (http://commongroundmag.com/2006/12/food0612.html) raved over Poleng Lounge's many vegetarian options, such as The Buddha's Treasures ( " small vegetable-filled dumplings in matcha tea-dusted wrappers . . . delicate and exquisitely seasoned " ) and Poleng Curry ( " full of vegetables and rich with coconut milk and tea-infused curry " ). As noted in the Winter Issue 2007 of Vegetarian News, Poleng Lounge offers Tofu Triangles with rice wine sambal sauce at 25 cents each during its Happy Hour (4PM-6PM). Poleng Lounge also offers SFVS members a 10% discount during 6PM-8PM. ********************************************************************** C. Underdog is winner Open for 3 months now, Underdog has been winning praises for serving affordable, organic vegan sausages in a cozy eco-friendly restaurant run by friendly owners Max Leung & Rizza Punzalan. In addition to topping Yelp's Best of restaurants (http://www.yelp.com/biz/ZEjD3H78NtbrHzSdD2BopA), Underdog was recommended as one of " 8 delightful delicacies " by The San Francisco Bay Guardian's Feast Spring 2007 (http://www.sfbg.com/entry.php? entry_id=3271 & catid=4 & volume_id=254 & issue_id=287 & volume_num=40 & issue_n um=25): " Sometimes quality is all it takes to make something truly special. For example, when was the last time you had a hot dog that didn't ride waves in your stomach? Or a good veggie dog (or even any veggie dog) at an actual restaurant? You can find the best of both at Underdog, a hole-in-the-wall hot dog shop in the Sunset District. All quality, all tasty. And all links, fixings, chips, sodas, cookies, and candy are certified organic. " Underdog also serves Mission Pies and organic salads with dressings. ********************************************************************** D.
