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!

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.

The items we share not pictured because we were too hungry to care was the 

- Vegetable Spring Rolls

- Steamed Dumplings

- Fire Cracker Shrimp

- Fried Chicken

Some were eaten by me but not all.....

Vegetable Massaman Curry $20

Potato, Long Beans & Tofu

This was super good!!! I asked for more... the surprising kick was that it had pineapples in the dish that gave a twist to any curry dish I ever indulged into. 

Seared Tilapia In Red Curry $23

Pineapple, Tomatoes, Red Grapes, Thai Basil

This was one of my friends dishes. I had a bite and thought it was really flavorful. I liked it and so did she!!!  can't really critique much on it though.

Green Plantain & Homemade Paneer Dumplings,

Creamy Onion & Almond Curry

Yum Yum Too Lunch

Yum Yum's other spot is pretty cool.

Here is the Thai Ice tea that I had. I really wanted a cocktail, but nothing was on special. That really sucked as I would have rather-ed ate at Yum Yum and had a drink there for cheap!! Oh well... this was a really good Thai Ice tea and I have no complaints about this.

For the first appetizer, I really miss coconut soup with chicken in it... so I tested the waters and asked for vegetables. It was the best suggestion I ever made!!! The veggies were fresh, and the soup was just divine... It was a bigger portion then that of it's other location.

The vegetable dumplings were really good. Nice sauce on the bottom and awesome veggies inside of it. The other appetizer options would have been great too if I ate meat... next time I'll go with a co-worker and see what they think of the food. 

The Panang here is totally different. They added a huge chunk of pumpkin in the middle of the curry. It was very very good. Something different at a sort of chain made me feel really really good. I would def have this dish again. 

The coconut shrimp was disappointing. It was just fried too long, or the oil needed to be changed. I could barely finish the dish, and yes I was hungry hence all that food. The flavor wasn't there for me either... oh well maybe next time. 

I would def come back here again and try other dishes. Till next time!!!

Siam Square u

Thai food in Lee Mass, 

Let's get right to it! 

We ordered a lot of food because we were hungry and my eyes are bigger than my stomach all the time.

GREEN CURRY With string beans, egg plants, red & green peppers, yellow squash, zucchini and basil leaves. 

This was the veggie version and we liked it. Not spicy at all though and was really rich and creamy because of the coconut milk they used. Oh what a great dish it was!!!

SIAMESE FRIED RICE

Delicious fried rice with chicken, shrimps, egg, onions, snow peas, green pea, baby corns, carrots, sweet corn, tomato, scallions and cilantro.

This rice was good. Over whelmed with veggies this is a great vegetarian dish to eat.

Oh my my my... the Coconut shrimp was out of this world. The fresh coconut flavors, and the sauce was my favorite dish of all the ones we tried that day!!! I wish I could take that recipe back with me to NY

ROLL “J”Vegetarian spring rolls, delicate and crispy. Served with sweet-sour sauce

These Spring rolls were different from what I've been accustomed to and really enjoyed it. hands down the second best dish we tried here. Same sauce as the shrimp.

Vegetable Panang 

Kind of disappointing to say the least. It was the most expensive thing they had and it came with no rice. My bill was mostly high  because of this dish (not a happy camper) We had to order and extra order of rice... (they thought the veggie rice was plenty rice) Did I mention I had a CARB love affair......

Thai Lotus Wine Yummerzzz

This was a really good glass of wine, and the funny thing is that they actually have this bottle in my local wine store (picked up a bottle on my way back home the next day) 

Here's the Wine menu if you are interested in the name/brand of the other ones.

Their Thai Ice tea was on point as well.... cannot complain here either.

All in all, we were happy we found a place with decent food, our other options weren't very promising. We would def go back again, but might only order a few of what we had this day!!! Till next time!!!

Salmon Dish Made at Home

Fresh Wild Salmon. 

I cannot believe how good this came out. I made it with a curry turmeric broth with kale, swiss shard, onions, ginger, coconut milk, etc. The salmon took center stage and did not need the broth!! 

What a difference it makes having wild salmon vs the farm raised salmon. Oh boy will I not have salmon unless confirmed it is wild and proven!!

On the Side is cilantro brown rice... we were in heaven I tell you!!!
