Hat Yai’s Alan Akwai Talks Takeout Chicken and Martinis in Portland | Eater Portland
"A regular date-night and bar spot: “At the bar.” Akwai’s go-to drinks there are “Nebbiolo and Tanqueray martinis” with a twist of just olives — “Just olives.” He praises the off-menu burgers: “The burgers [which aren’t listed on the dine-in menu], we really enjoy those. That’s the place I go to for a restaurant burger these days. I’ll switch it up between the big steaks and a burger.” On sides: “No.” And, “These days, I save my appetite for the protein. The wine is kind of my M.O. when I go.”" - Thom Hilton
