  Singaporean food in Sewanee, Tennessee?! Yes, you heard right. Answering years of local prayers for good Asian food (and this is a prayerful town), Crossroads opened early this year next to Sewanee's finest dining establishment, IvyWild. The menu changes daily and I am there almost as often so I can tell you that the glass noodles and pork belly dishes are especially to die for, but I haven't tried anything yet that isn't good. Each day offers a different array of teas, too. Satay and dumplings are always on the menu and they are happy to accommodate vegetarians. Whatever you order, be sure to ask for an extra side of chile slices. They are awesome. They haven't quite figured out the dessert thing yet, but Julia's up the street has a Mexican chocolate torte that would be the perfect ending.
  
  The restaurant is in a converted laundry and has a very hip urban feel. Casually comfortable but with a lot of thought to making the diner feel special. (The owners lived in Singapore and Sri Lanka - he's an architect - and some of the art they have picked up along their travels is on display.)
  
  Word is that a beer license and music may be in the future.  That will only make a great thing even better.
