The Other Critics: Two Chimes For MangoMoon; Killer Desserts At Teri's

• The more unusual Thai cooking at Manayunk's MangoMoon is "just the kind of bold, unique flavors that should belong on a restaurant strip like Manayunk's that hopes to shake off its decade-old blahs and recapture some mojo," says Craig LaBan. [Inquirer]

• Adam Erace finds that Teri's Restaurant suffers from a drab atmosphere, but the desserts like the "supple pears stuffed with crunchy walnut brittle and poached in white wine, vanilla and star anise; and a mug of bittersweet Ghirardelli hot chocolate with house-baked orange madeleines for dunking" show promise.
