Plus six other things that passed the test of our taste buds.

2. We love the tom kha gai soup at Thai Peppers (417-882-1979). The potent broth is laced with coconut milk for a barely creamy finish. Plus it’s full of perfectly cooked veggies (we like the mushrooms the best) and tender chicken.
3. To fulfill a thin-crust craving, we’ve been eating the Grecian pizza at 417 Pizza (417-887-4417, 417pizza.com). The crispy crust is topped with grilled chicken, feta cheese, spinach, tomatoes, kalamata olives and red onions. The best part? They do not go light on the feta.
4. A change of pace for our chicken wing cravings, the salt and vinegar wings at Dublin’s Pass (417-877-7625, dublinspass.com) are meaty and cooked well, with a crispy outside surrounding juicy meat. The wings have a strong and enticing vinegar smell, but the flavor is very mild.
5. We can’t get enough of the Aviary Suzette crepe at Aviary Café and Creperie (417-866-6378, aviarycafe.com). This dessert is practically perfect thanks to the apricot sauce. It’s so flavorful and bright, but not overly sugary. The whipped cream is a sweet addition.
6. A big and shareable appetizer is the japchae at Jin’s Fine Asian Cuisine (417-886-2082). The sweet-and-savory glass noodle, beef and veggie salad is served warm. It has lots of fun textures: Tender meat, slick noodles, crunchy chives, soft mushrooms.
7. For a quick lunch, we love the steak wrap sandwich at Boca Mocha (417-865-3828, bocamocha.com). Steak, poblano peppers, spinach, cheddar cheese and onions are wrapped up with a tangy “custom sauce.” We don’t know what it is, but we like it!
