We dined at the Continental Mid-Town in Philadelphia for dinner. The restaurant is tapas inspired, with dishes inspired from around the world. Being tapas, we ordered four different small plates to share.
We ordered the cheese steak egg rolls with sriracha ketchup, the chicken tikka marsala, french onion soup dumplings and the brisket bao buns.
The french onion soup dumplings came out first. Because the restaurant is tapas style, items come out as they are ready as opposed to in courses. The dumplings were hot, and the doughy dumpling was filled with what tasted exactly like french onion soup - oniony, with the beef base. They were delicious.
The chicken tikka was brought to the table second. The dish was big enough for more than the two of us, and very light on the curry taste. The sauce was creamy with just enough spice, while the chicken is still moist. It is served with rice.
The brisket bao buns and the cheese steak egg rolls were brought out together. The bao buns were served as a three-some. Unfortunately, because there were two of us dining, it was hard to split three of them (a complaint I have at most tapas restaurants). That said, the beef on the sandwiches was tender and in a sweet sauce. The buns themselves were soft. They were a perfect handheld snack.
The cheese steak egg rolls were a favorite at the table. Traditional cheese steak wrapped in and fried egg roll wrapper. We had a total of 2 (very large) egg rolls, each of which were cut into three pieces. The sriracha ketchup was tasty, but not overly spicy.
We also ordered two desserts, the Limoncello Tiramisu and the Liquid Chocolate Cake. The tiramisu was fantastic - light, fluffy, lemony, and perfect. The liquid chocolate cake was a typical lava cake, nothing terribly special, but still very good.
