Monsoon ( Birthday Dinner)

I think this  might have been one of our best bday dinners yet!

Part 2

The picture of the bottle of Sake we got did not want to show up for some reason on this post, but I will say you must try cloudy sake and all other variations of Sake they have to offer 

Here the Rock shrimp was good. I believe it's up there with the top 5 Rock shrimps that we've had. The sauce was on point and the shrimp were cooked to perfection

spicy rock shrimp tempura spicy mayo.........................16

We wanted to try something new and we did. After sharing this roll I almost attempted to order another one but was advised that the meal we were about to get was plenty to satisfy our hunger needs

It was not spicy as indicated, because we both enjoy spicy food and this was merely a tease, all in all it was fresh and rewarding to say the least!!

*spicy salmon roll tobiko, chili.......................................................................................... 8. 

Now for the Big winner!!! (winner winner Chicken dinner)

This style of Lobster will and I repeat will be replicated once I get some time at home. OMG the broth was so flavorful yet light. The lobster had to be about 2lbs and more than enough veggies in the bowl to satisfy us both. It did need a side dish though, which I'll get to in a second

What we loved about this was the fact that the lobster was grilled and then placed into the broth to marinate and served to perfection. O man do I want some now :(

 Cantonese lobster rich butter glaze, shishito pepper,black beans ................ 39. 

This is the side of rice we god. It is not your typical greasy fried rice and in fact tasted a little to healthy for me LOL. It was perfect though to enjoy with that amazing Lobster.

seafood fried rice lobster, shrimp, egg, scallions........ 16.

Let him EAT what ever he wants LOL

Here wr have FRIED oreos... Why in heavens would we not try this (out of all other options, why not)

It was so good and a great end to an amazing meal oh man!!

TEMPURA FRIED OREOS CHILI SPIKED DIPPING SAUCE

Go here for your birthday or any other occasion and guess what.. they reward you with a $25 gift card to come back... well don't mind if I do!!

Great staff, great food and Amazing atmosphere! Cheer's to another great year to the love of my life!!!

What a great Brunch Date with my Fiance. Couldn't have asked for a better day!

• BELGIAN WAFFLE$14.00meyer lemon ricotta, candied orange

Nice and Light and fluffy Pancakes! OMG this was delicious... The candied oranges weren't too sweet and left a nice tangy taste to the maple syrup. I loved this dish a lot 

I am making waffles this weekend I need to make this on my own and enjoy!!

Complimentary Belini!

The Belini was delicious, it was a peach one, but the juices tasted like grapefruit... I was not complaining, it was free and it kept coming! 

• CALIFORNICATION$13.00crab, shrimp, cucumber, avocado, mango sauce

Normally I would not write about a California roll, but these had REAL crab chunks in there. I mean Holy molly Really Crab in a California roll! I was in heaven... and we should have gotten another order! 

More Drink Pics 

• MAINE LOBSTER & SHRIMP ROLL$26.00herb mayonnaise, crispy bacon, celery, waffle fries

Without the Bacon

This was a great Lobster roll. Extremely Big and I was really happy with the seasoning. Enough to share or big enough if your really hungry! 

This picture doesn't justify the size of the roll!

I would Highly suggest going here and enjoying the heart of Times Square!

Asura Lunch

Lunch with friends 

First appetizer was this pretty cool rock shrimp tempura. I really liked it, thought that it was a great way to start off the lunch. Not the best I've ever had... but it does taste pretty good. 

Rock Shrimp Tempura

Shrimp Veggie Roll

This was hinted to me that it was super good... Well in my opinion... it was okay... but I could have done with out it. I liked the rock shrimp better. 

Salmon Teriyaki Lunch Bento

My bento box was cool... I opted to get the veggie rice because the picture looked so good... I ended up eating all the rice, shumai, and ginger and a little bit of the salmon,,, The salmon was pretty bland and I could not really understand why I chose this dish..

I hear this place has a really good happy hour... I might try it one day and see how that works out... till then I am still on the fence about this place.

Chip Shop Awesomeness!

I Love Fried food and when I found out that there was a place in Brooklyn that fried everything (even a shoe is they had to) I was floored.

Below we have fried mac and cheese. Now I'm one to have had fried mac from other places and thought it was mediocre but this was just pure awesomeness! There was enough cheese to macaroni ratio and frying it was like the icing on the cake. I ordered another one... yes I did :)

 Here we have the old Fish and Chip combo. I did not take a picture of the chips but the fish was really good. The batter was light. the cod was nice and flaky. I felt like I was eating a decadent pillow. Must try!!!!

 The Main Reason I Came HERE was the Fried PIZZA!!!!. And boy was I in for it. The pizza was so good. I'm more of a doughy pizza kind of girl with less sauce more cheese. This had the ratio I was looking for and then some. I mean to fry a slice of pizza is culinary genius! I was speechless and of-course I had another one!!!!!!

 Last but definitely not Least I had the only desert on the menu besides candy bars. Fried banana. Just looking at this picture makes my stomach growl. The chocolate sauce was a nice complement to that batter they use. I need to Know how to fry just about anything. Then I too will be a culinary genius!!
