Oriental cafe (Coupon)

This review is based off both the food and the coupon...

The coupon was for two entree's some appetizers, and a drink. 

Here's my date's dish for an entree, Salmon teriyaki. It was tasty I guess but nothing special... I liked the sauce.

The rice that it came with.

Here's my dish... I wanted broccoli with garlic sauce, but the waitress insisted I add other veggies, which I did, but the dish wasn't good at all... barely ate it at all. 

This was an appetizer we shared... very small shrimp teriyaki... 

Their rock shrimp was disappointing, why not drench the shrimp with the sauce, why give the consumer the option... not a fan, but it was okay tasting 

House wine... what can I say... and As you can see in the picture, place was pretty empty...

Would I go here again, no... the place is basically a local restaurant for the neighborhood, if I lived in the area maybe it would be great, but I was a little disappointed that this was an option for groupon... next time I will read up on the place before I get a coupon...

Van Diemen Experience

OH how i love visiting friends in the city on my off days, And today was the best visit yet. Being a  Pescatarian has it's down sides when it comes to eating out but when you find new items on the menu, you remember what it means to be a foodie!!1

They added Fish Tacos on the menu and boy oh boy were these bad boys good!!!!!. At $14 these bad boys packed a whopping flavor punch all in my taste buds! The tangy sauce, the great spice on the actual fish right down to the mango salsa on top! Now this wasn't my only order... I sure did order another one to goo... Couldn't keep this great experience to myself, I had to share it with my Boo of course!!!

Their Truffle fries are to die for! I don;t ever have to ask what else I need/ want with anything I order, the Truffle fries are mandatory at all cost. They have a really good truffle oil in that kitchen, so good I went looking for it and found a decent one to make these amaze-ball fries at home my damn self!!!

WELL Well WELL I highly suggest going here, and tipping the bartenders really well You hear!!! Never disappointing when I travel here! Till then

At nine Lunch

First off I'd like to say that this is indeed the cheapest lunch I ever had and really enjoyed it as well!!

Lunch comes with app, entree and drink who can beat that and it's all for a measly 7.99!!!

Here is there take on spring rolls and a little salad on the side! yummerzz

My thai Ice tea did not disappoint at all!

The start is the entree... I had their coconut rice with veggie panang... OMG that is was bananas I almost ordered another to go home oh man. What really intrigued me was the rice.... it was the best part yum yum yum 

This is a nice hidden gem in times square. I highly suggest going here for lunch or happy hour!

Harlem at fifth (Coupon)

$40 or $80 to Spend at Harlem on Fifth Bar & Grill Harlem on Fifth Bar & Grill

What a great Coupon to utilize in an interesting location. At first I was a little skeptical because I rather coupons that have a set amount of items to choose from but that defeats the purpose of trying new things I guess, Any who ( no more rambling) I really enjoyed my time here with my boo and let me show you why!!

This is one side of their draft beer selection, and being a beer lover, I was able to select all of the lovely beers they has on tap and enjoyed!

TASTING STROLL ON 5TH

5 oz SAMPLING OF OUR SIX CRAFT BEERS$14.95

My Favorite Beers would have to be the Speakeasy, Harlem At fifth (hahahaha), and the Nutty neighbor. The drinks are lined up just the way they are listed, and taste oh so good. 

RIESLING DR. HANS VON MULLER 2011

fruity aroma and semi-dry finish. Mosel, Germany

My boo had a few glasses of this really light and crisp wine. It was a good choice with the meal we had. 

 

Here is a a side of some veggies to indulge in. 

LEMON GLAZED SALMON

lemon, butter, white wine, herbs$22

CANDIED YAMS and Rice on the Side

This dish was interestingly good, but we were advised to get the teriyaki, and I wish we did. The Salmon needed a little Umph or something. It lacked something on int he seasoning but it was edible. 

GRILLED SHRIMP MAC-N-CHEESE

shrimp, cilantro, parsley$12

This was a a cool dish, I wasn't too fond of it. I rather the Crab instead, more flavorful and delicious!!!

BLUE CRAB MAC-N-CHEESE

crab, parsley, panko bread crumbs$12

Here's what I really enjoyed!!!!

The bits and pieces of the blue crab and the mac and cheese here was a real treat! I really enjoyed this a lot

I would highly suggest going here! The staff is great, the food is good/great depending on what flavor you choose lol... All in all a great dinner was had here!
