Lunch at Qi

I was looking for Thai food near my job and didn't want to travel far to get it. On my google search I found one just a block away and the lunch special is what really drew me in!



Here we have a chicken/shrimp dumpling that is steamed! This was a free appetizer that comes with every lunch special. There are different options but I chose the other one (below a few pictures). Oh boy was it good!  I loved the fresh cilantro and the sauce it came with. I was really surprised it came with 4 dumplings instead of just 2.
 

This beautiful drink here was free due to the long wait we had to endure on our lunch trip. Although it was lunch time, there was only one waiter and more than 50 people  seated. It is normally $1.50 with your lunch special and $2 with out. this was a Thai Ice tea for those of you who may not know!

The decor was really interesting. I had to take a picture of the fixtures while I waited for my food to arrive. I read a few reviews on how the decor was a bit weird. I wouldn't really say weird but it's more or less eye catching.

My friend ordered the spicy Thai basil sauce with chicken. it was pretty good.. He didn't complain!  
My lunch combo was Excellent! I got the fried chicken/shrimp dumplings. Although I liked the steamed ones, I loved the fried ones even better. They were both different and I could definitely eat both all over again! 
I ordered the Green curry (my usual suspect when I try out a Thai place) I usually judge them on the spice level. It was that, and I needed something to clear my sinus pressure :) It was really good!!! 
Sometimes you may find that thy give you more eggplant than chicken, but it was really balanced. I for once was really full after this lunch adventure.  
 For the main dish and the appetizer per person it averaged about $8 bucks. Please tell me where your getting all of that food in mid-town for that cheap and good! 

There are other things on the menu that i would love to try on another adventure but till then Happy eating!!!
 I highly recommend going here after 2PM for lunch if you can wait that long :)

Girls night out!!!

We were celebrating the last days of my cousins pregnancy. This cute swanky place was excellent. From the decor to the food, they did not disappoint!

Here we have the lobster tacos! Yes they were GOOD. I couldn't believe how crispy the crust was and how awesome that aoili sauce was on top. We almost ordered another round! Here we only have two orders. Each order comes with 3 tacos. It's a must try!!!

Here is Garganelli
(spicy veal bolognese, whipped Little Italy ricotta ) OMG was it good!!! It was velvety and smooth. The ricotta was so light and fresh!!

Oven Braised Chicken Meatballs
sheeps milk ricotta, wild mushroom, truffle. I didn't read the description of the meatballs before they came to the table. I could smell and taste the truffle and was really amazed at how soft and sutle it was. The sauce was awesome. The meatballs were nice and juicy. This too is  must try!





The home made ice cream (vanilla) was awesome too! Very light and refreshing


Black Bottomed Butterscotch Pot de Crème! This was to die for! We all had the look of satisfaction on our faces when we took a bite! There was little to no disappointment with this desert!

The drink I had was called the Beauty Elixir. I recommend it. The other drinks that the other girls had were Earl The Pearl and O.D.B. “Old Dirty Bramble” They were all good!


I definitely recommend this place for a girls night out, date or just a chill spot. The people are nice, waiters are cool and the food, of course is AWESOME! check it out, you won't be disappointed!!

Lunch Coupons are always something special!

My friend got this awesome coupon that included 4 beers and two sandwiches for $33 bucks!

Here we have six point... It was pretty decent... Not really a fan of light beer lately but this one has a pass... can't really critic a free beer now can you!
 

My friend ordered the chicken sandwich...  which I had the liberty of stealing half of because it was soooo good. You could tell that everything was fresh in every bite. I'm sorry a small piece wouldn't have satisfied my pallet... just saying!

Now my sandwich I was not too pleased with... My weekly regimen consist of one seafood a week. I mis-read the description of this sandwich and was highly displeased with my order!!!  I got a smoked salmon and was anticipating a grilled salmon between two buns and some sort of aoli sauce... I ended up giving my friend the sandwich and I ate most of his.


It was a good time though no complaints. Would I come here again? Yes they had other things on the menu that looked really good. I  recommend coming here for the beers of course!!

 This is a beautiful date night spot!!!
The ambiance, the staff, the food... are all so....

Here we have a complementary dish while we looked over the menu. It was polenta  with their fresh marinara sauce. OMG was it good!!! it was light and fresh and so decadent that I wanted more.

Here we have a blurry picture of their sangria. YES this too was GOOD! we got a pitcher and was more than satisfied with our choice. They had other great choices on their wall to choose from but seeing the sangria on their shelves looked really appealing. 

Out of their daily appetizer specials we decided to go with their herb roasted calamari. It was knock your socks off good. Again sorry for they horrible picture.. this does not justify how it looked on the plate. It came out on a sizzling  pot and the waiter served us both. The fresh rosemary, thyme and oregano balanced really well with the olive oil and what ever else was in that sauce...
 My date ordered the lobster ravioli... He was really please. The picture doesn't show how big the ravioli's were but boy were they good!!!. The waiter insisted on getting this dish and he was not lying on the reason why. every bite was filled with flavor and of course LOBSTER!!!
  

I ordered the pesto gnocchi. I was really happy with my dish (another choice selected by the waiter) The pesto was so refreshing and smooth, and you could tell that the gnocchi wasn't store bought gnocchi because of the creamy texture it had.
  


I definitely recommend going here for a nice date night or a one one one with a friend. this is really a nice chill spot. Very romantic!!!

The Best Pizza I have ever had!!!!!!! 


 

A few friends and I went to this pizza place in Brooklyn. I was wondering what the fuss was about when they mentioned it a few times. It's in the heart of Williams-burg. The pizza I ordered  was a chicken pizzaAfter the first bite I was hooked. I was shocked how thin and tasty it was. My other firends had other pizzas, but I think mines was the best. If your in town you Hvae to visit Nice Pizza!!!
