I have what some say is an odd preference for nuts in my food; I enjoy the crunch and the buttery nuttiness. Given that, the pineapple fried rice at Narai Asian Cuisine in Olympia is a pleasant surprise. The flavor array with the textures of cashews and crisp cucumber is stellar - white onion, tomato and pineapple chunks are stir-fried along with garlic sauce, fragrant cilantro and basil into jasmine rice that's given a yellow hue by curry powder. The dish comes with lime wedges on the side for squeezing (I highly recommend the zing the fresh lime juice adds). This heaping plate is excellent as a family-style side dish to complement other entrees.  Meat or seafood can be added, though with so much good stuff already in it, I don't think it's needed.
