Skewed Concoctions on SW 3rd - Try their peanut sauce!

Work has kept me very busy lately and I've not been able to get away to try very many new carts and blog about them.
This is a cart I've blogged about before, here:
Skewed Concoctions

I'm doing it again, because it bears repeating.

Not only is their food fantastic, but... they have the BEST peanut sauce EVER.

Sure, you may say something like "I walked by that cart and saw all sorts of meat on a stick and I'm a vegetarian..." -- Well, they serve vegetarian dishes, too... - namely, Pad Thai -- and if you've never had Pad Thai with peanut sauce from this cart -- you owe it to yourself to try it out.

Myself, I'm addicted to the Pork Satay, and had that for today's meal. Again, very satisfying.

The owners pointed out a new concept they'll be starting tomorrow, which is basically a cheeseburger deconstructed on to a skewer, with the cheese INSIDE the burger. I don't typically go to the same cart twice in one week, but I am very curious to check this out tomorrow.

oh, yeah, and 'deep fried brownie rolls' were mentioned, as well. uh-oh.

Skewed Concoctions on SW 3rd and Stark - Pork Satay

For today's adventure, I thought I'd try out Skewed Concoctions, which opened up in the spot of a former Thai cart on SW 3rd between Stark and Washington. I've seen it a few times while scouting out lunch, but nothing had jumped out at when casually strolling past...

I took a closer look at the menu this time -- They actually have a lot of offerings, for a variety of tastes. Chicken, Beef, and Pork Satay... Wings... Teriyaki -- all on sticks. (Those who prefer no sticks in their meat, they will kindly remove them after cooking if you'd like) - Pad Thai (veggie, even)- Papaya salad. Something for everybody.

You can order skewers of meat a la carte, or in a meal. I ordered the Pork Satay meal.

It was served with rice, a small cup of chopped up apples, cucumber, and onions, and what I thought was cole slaw - turns out it's served hot, and has broccoli in it. This was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. Very tasty, and perfect on a day like today where we had snow in the early morning and heavy rain following.

The eggroll was delicious - one of the more flavorful ones I've had (and there are plenty of eggrolls to be had from Portland food carts) - I didn't need to dip it in anything.

Same goes for the Pork Satay - it was wonderful all by itself, great flavor - then, I added the peanut sauce (of course) -- it had a very subtle smokey flavor to it that stood out - in fact, I almost want to guess there may be some coffee involved in its creation. HIGHLY recommended.

I kept eating rice just to add the peanut sauce, until it was all gone. Wow, that was good.

Try this place out. :D
