Shanghai Broadway Happy Hour

Hidden Gems are hard to find, but when you do hold onto them for dear life!!!

My cousin saw this new place in midtown and thought it be a great new place to try and boy were we happy. 

These Korean BBQ wings were amazing!!! Nice and tangy but not spicy at all!!!  A must try 

I love scallion pancakes and this place knows how to make them!!! 

We have to come back for lunch!!!  Appetizer, meal, and a drink only $8!!!  That's a steak for midtown!!!

I definitely recommend this place!!!

The Beer Company

When ever someone leaves a company for the greener grass one must celebrate big. At beer company that is what we did!!!

Not able to decide between what wing flavor to get we got two sauces to accompany the fried wings we had. And believe you me, the red one was killer. Spicy, tangy omg delicious!!!!

This pasta dish had me at hello. The first bit was so rich in flavor and seasonings that I cried. It was a lot of food but I loved that I got to share it with my bf. This is a must try! 

Now this crazy drink here was really good. Notice its on the bottom of my oat as opposed to the beginning! We had three each and these cocktails aren't for the weak!!! This is the central park cider. Nothing innocent about this drink! Packed with flavor and deliciousness!!! I highly recommend!!! 

Here's the drink menu for kicks! 

My drink was the Gotham gin. I had a few of these beauties. Omg was in heaven. The best beer cocktail I ever had. I cannot find this anywhere! I hate sweet drinks and this complimented every craving in a drink I look for! 

I highly recommend this place!!!!

Happy Hour at Amber

Happy hour at my favorite place is always a good time!!! 

As soon as I walked in I asked for two sake bombs. Sorry for not having a picture but it was gone as fast as I ordered them. At $3 a pop of course they were gone in a blink of an eye. We had at least 4 each of them!!!

Now back to what we can visually see. I can remember the name of this drink. All I can remember was that it was delicious!!!

Tropical wings were okay. Not something I'd order again in a heart beat but it was worth a try in any case. 

Steamed vegetable dumplings are my favorite!!!  They are very delicious, so much so that I might have to get me an order after writing this post!!! 

The shrimp shumai like any other shumai are delicious. I was really happy that my guy really enjoyed this dish as well. 

The main reason why I came here besides the shots! Was the Indian pancakes. Holy cow this is criminal!!!  Roti with a side of curry to dip it in. And to garnish is some sugar and carrots. Yes we had 2 orders of this beautiful thing. Man I want some now!!!! 

To end our eating escapade, we got two rolls. One Philadelphia and the other shrimp tempura. Again another success story when it comes to having people trying new things. 

I recommend this place wholeheartedly!!  Its great for hanging out or a romantic dinner. What ever your into, you've gotta give this place a try!!!

La Caye (Haitian Bistro)

La CAYE

It means at home in Creole, and boy do you feel at home after this visit. I almost didn't want to leave!!

Macaroni au gratin

Oh boy was this DYNAMITE.  The perfect crust on the top and the nice creamy sauce on the noodles had me singing in my head!!!

 

Black mushroom rice 

I love Haitian rice and when done right, I really really love it. The flavors developed in the rice were out of sight. Paired with the dish I had, this had to be a crime!!!

 

Pain patate  

A sweet potato pie Haitian style paired with vanilla ice cream. This is another dish done right and done really well. 

 

Basil Sangria

This was good; it had a peculiar taste to it. I was completely satisfied with it though.  

   

 

Sakepase Mojitos

The Passion fruit flavor was so decadent that I had another one. As the night drew on, the bartender revealed that they made this drink with a passion fruit wine. Alone the wine is a great treat, but in this mojito, it serves justice!!

 

Akras  

This was an interesting dish, Never had this before and it was spicy. It paired well with the wings. 

 

Red velvet cake with vanilla ice cream  

The three of us fought for the last bites of the deserts. Of course my spoon was pretty swift and I got my winning bite!

 

Creole Wings   

These wings are to die for literally. I never had wings so flavor-fully fried and juicy as these. The sauce that was on top was criminal. I really wanted another order but we were on a quest to try everything on the menu and that def was on the list for a repeat order!

 

Lambi Boucane   

Grilled conch, most people aren't really familiar with this sea creature on their plates, and to me that's criminal. if only you knew what you were missing you'd want to say "what have I been missing all my life".  This was so good, I never had conch grilled and that sauce again!!! It was DYNAMITE

 

Sakepase Mojitos

This was the pomegranate flavor. I think collectively we all liked the passion fruit more, but this one was equally as good as the passion fruit.  

 

 

Seafood Creole

 My honest opinion about eating crab legs for happy hour is don't do it, but when your hungry and three drinks down, what the heck, you ordered it already!! The lobster was good, the sauce on the bottom was great. The crab legs had a great taste to it, the prawns were perfectly season. Could I marry the cook right now and just stop salivating over these picture of that night? I'm just saying!!

 

Steak Au Poivre

This had to be the best steak I've ever had. The sauce on top HOLY COW. I mean this dish alone is criminal. So much so that I kept picking at it when my cousin turned away. The bed of spinach had a really nice flavor to it alone then hit with that cream sauce on top. Please tell the Chef my number and I will get back to him!!!  

 

This place is criminal, the food and the service is so friendly, and the atmosphere is truly like home. I kid you not,  if you haven't listend to any of my reviews of really good food listen to this one. STOP WHAT YOUR DOING AND HEAD DOWN THERE RIGHT NOW. You will not stop thanking me for letting you try this place out!!
