One Thai Chef Lunch

A good Lunch on a warm November Work day!

Here we have an interesting Thai ice tea...what makes it interesting you might ask? Well... I swear they made it with coconut milk instead of evaporated or canned milk! It had a nice silky taste to it and was by far the best Thai Ice tea I've ever had In a while... Time to whip out my tea at home and recreate this masterpiece!!! 

Crispy Spring Rolls

8

mixed vegetable spring rolls with plum sauce

This was really good,..... the Sauce had an acquired taste though, but still really good....what ever you've had before it's basically the same here!

The White Rice

Green curry ( gang-keow-wan)

green curry with eggplant, bell pepper, carrot and basil With Veggies!

I asked the waiter to add some ginger in this along with the veggies because I needed another layer of flavor... It came out like this and I was super happy!!!

I kid you not... I ate it all up minus the green beans and the mushrooms....

I would go back here for lunch... the only complaint is that the wait staff are hiding in the back... So you don't know if they want you there or not... Oh well Happy eating!!!

The Wright

After a nice day at the Guggenheim, why not indulge on the restaurant on the main level of the museum and see what i's all about!! Shall we!

From the list of things.... there were many options available for us to choose from....not to mention a lot of items on the menu was already sold out. I peeked over to my right and saw a few people eating a taco and was really interested why they all chose it!

Beer-Tempura Codfish Tacos, Ancho Sauce, Avocado, Greens, Fresh Lime 18

Well here is my review...

The pickled onions really added a twang to the taco... The avocado was not really apparent, but the overall taco was a success in my book. That dark concoction on the plate was not tried because the taco stood well  on it's own. 

P.S. This was from the brunch menu... I'd love to see what the other menus taste like! Till then happy eating.

NIOS happy hour

Wow What a great place to find and spot good food...and guess what! Complimentary WINE for an hour.... I'd say it's a gold Mine!

Here we have Truffle fries, they were okay...the aoli on the side was good, could have used a little bit more truffle though.

Buffalo Mozzarella

12

Sun dried tomatoes, basil, evoo

We really liked the pizza. Talk about a thin crust. We wish we ordered two of these because it was done within seconds.  This would have been a better option to double up on and not waste time on the next dish....

Thai Fried Shrimp

14

Sweet chili lime sauce

The Shrimp was cool... We didn't think that the price fit the dish.... It was well over priced and wasn't that much to share. Not sure if I I would get this again...

And the Complimentary Wine guys!!! Yes free wine from 5 pm-6 pm. They do a rotation of a red and a white during the week. Great way to Sample a new wine a week I'd say. Inside of a snazzy hotel, I bet the rooms are as amazing as the lobby is. I would Love to go back and just watch the fire place and a have a few wines along with it.

I would recommend this place and have people try their dishes. i', not sure how the Lunch is set up... I might go in on a pay day to see what my Dollar can get me.... Till next time... Stay snazzy!

Babylon Carriage Prefix/ Happy Hour

Creamy Shrimp Pasta linguini...

This Dish was requested by both my niece and sister who didn't really want to partake in the free buffet that was going on this Friday evening. When it came out my niece immediately said eww green... Then she tasted it and was like oh yummy this is so good. 

I Tried it and was really amazed at how rich in flavor it was. Unfortunately there was a hair in the mix.... Then we got the manager to bring out a new one... which unbelievably tasted better than the first one! Go figure...

Truffle Mac & Cheese

By far... the best mac and cheese I ever had with truffle in it! Everyone at the table wanted some! I was like No no no no no!!! But the I gave in and let everyone same a bit... I will def get this one again when I have a chance!

Lobster Ravioli 

Now for the Restaurant week part of the meal! This was the entree... the Appetizer didn't make the shot because it was gone before it hit the table... We had Thai Calamari which is really good and it's only 5 bucks on the Happy hour menu. 

The lobster ravioli's were like little pillows of happiness. My BF and I share this meal because I didn't want anything else on the menu...Boy did we want to get another bowl!!

Pumpkin Bread Pudding

I'm not a fan of bread pudding... so my review might be biased... but my niece who is so cute and smart tried it... and said " oh that taste like pumpkin toast from school". I said yes that's exactly what it is... she and my bf enjoyed it... I had another cocktail...

I would totally recommend this place because I've invited countless amount of friends for a round or two of drink here on Fridays. If your in town I would def check this place out!!

Yum Yum Too Prefix/ Happy Hour

Thai Ice Tea Cocktail

This is a great drink... It had Bailey, Thai Ice tea, and a few other alcoholic items that made this drink everything... So good I had to get two!!!

                                                                    Shrimp & Crab Roll

shrimp, crab, manioc, taro, onion, pepper, garlic, clear rice noodle, tree ear mushroom, sugar, salt and rice net paper

You got this free with every cocktail you order! OMG so freaking good... Finally a shrimp and crab roll instead of a chicken and shrimp roll. The wrapping was my favorite of the entire roll... So good That I guzzled my drink just to get this app again (yes I'm greedy!)

I had this bottle of Wine a few years ago... relax Riesling is really nice, especially with the food we are about to intake! 

                                                                   Original Spring Roll

vegetable spring roll with carrot sauce

Not a bad Spring roll.... I saved a few for later... You will see why in a few....

                                                                        Crab Cake

homemade crab cake with spicy mayo sauce

I ordered this was amazed at the flavor that was packet in this dish. Barely any fillers, mostly crab in this cake and the dollop of sauce on top make it irresistible to my BF. It was a well executed dish here!

                                                             Coco Shrimp

delicious shrimp roll in coconut flake batter fried till golden brown with sweet & sour plum sauce

                                                       Galangal Coconut Soup

All these things included with an entree and desert!!! Sign me up Puhhlease!!

                The soup (made with out chicken) was super delightful, the salad and the dressing was good, and the coconut shrimp was a perfect marriage of flavors. 

                                                               Crispy Calamari

fried calamari with sesame chili vinegar sauce

The Sauce really did it for me! This was a great Calamari and Sauce combo that I've ever tried!

Plah Rad-Prik Red Snapper

22

fried fillet of red snapper topped with a sweet & spicy chili tamarind sauce on a bed of bok choy

This was a really really well prepared snapper.... Don't let the presentation fool you, the dish tastes better than it looks, what I really liked was that the fish was filleted really well and placed on the side of the fish... Yum Yum indeed. Great flavor and  spice... I might have to try and recreate this dish one day!

Green tea Ice Cream

This was a nice ending to a lengthy happy hour meal... Yes I was full Fast!

I love both the yum yum on this avenue for different reasons... I would suggest you guys give it a try!

Thai Taste

AHHHHHHHHH

I found a great Thai place in Long island... if only you could see me doing the running man right now you'd laugh!!!

Green Tea Bubble Tea

This was a really good green tea drink. I haven't found bubble tea in LI and saw this and was blown away. You kind of get tired of the bubbles after a while and just want tea...

Thai ice Tea

This was so good we had 2 more of these each... I forgot about my bubble tea.

Chive Pancakes

Again another dish I don't find often in Thai restaurants, these are delicious. A great salty balance to it. Crispy outside, chewy inside... Oh how I love chives.

Spring Rolls

These spring rolls were light and fresh, mostly veggies and it was an amazing flavor combo with the fish sauce (not commonly used). 

Coconut Shrimp Yummerz

There wasn't enough of these Shrimp on the table!!! We both had two each and wanted more. Nice big size Shrimp...but 2 more would have been good. 

Steamed Muscles

These Muscles were colossal sized. I mean I wanted to take a shell and make a necklace out of it. That's how big they were. The broth was really nice, all the veggies in there really helped... It could have been a meal on it's own with some rice. 

Veggie Panang Curry

My BF's dish was really good. Nice kick to it... but too much of a few veggies he didn't like...

Veggie Fried Rice 

Not a fan... grat presentation, but it was a little bland. I had to stead a little of my BF's Panang sauce to put on my rice...

It was a really good experience here. i would def go back again and again, but not order all that food hahahahahaha.
