Whet your appetite with some delicious haikai verse:

Market Street food scene
adds new Asian fusion seed
from husband/wife team.

Enter this couple.
Kalang and Chris sow their dream.
Root Table sprouted.

Bamboo light shades and
simple tables of tree roots
in an eco space.

Candles and art gleam,
Buddha-faced teak columns beam
amid Thai decor.

Eclectic menu
pulling from Thailand, China,
Japan, the U.S.

Plates at ten or less.
Menage-a-Thai is scrumptious.
The curries can’t miss.

Delish sandwiches.
Soaked in beer and Chinese wine,
double-fisted duck.

Sweet treats to savor:
chocolate raspberry mousse 
or a fruit cosmo.

Leave dinner to them.
Plant yourself at a table.
Try to branch out some.
