Yum Yum Thai Place

The best Thai happy hour I've ever been to.

First drink of the night!  It was like a lemonade margarita... for just $5 bucks I was like hay give it to me as I walk in please!!!

So We decided to do the prefix dinner during our happy hour. Greedy on another level!!! for 16.95 you get a soup, salad, entree and desert. My friend opted for the spicy shrimp soup. It had a nice kick to it, but don't worry... you spice lovers this soup will do nothing to you but make you smile because it's really good!

 

So the chicken that I am... I opted for the coconut chicken soup. This has to be my favorite soup of all time here. It's so light and refreshing and decadent all at the same time! I can't really explain.. all I know is that I need a bigger bowl for the next time I go.

 

So in between our prefix dinner we have happy hour (I'm cheesing as I write this) This drink is called a coco mo. It's like a mix between a pina colada and a long island ice tea... if that makes any sense. I say Just try it!!! 

My friend and I had two each!

 

With our drinks come free appetizers (this is where the greediness comes into play). Remember we have a prefixed dinner and each drink comes with an appetizer (except for the Margarita in the beginning... that was a special)

Spring rolls are another free appetizer we had... very good.

 

Green curry chicken is my staple for trying our a Thai restaurant. it helps me know whether or not this place is worth my business. And you've guessed it I was more than happy sinking my teeth into this creamy green broth!

  

Brown rice to stay healthy!

  

This was the combo that came with the prefix meal... the other pictures were separate from this deal ( yea I'm greedy I'll admit it now!)

 My friend had the Thai basil sauce I liked it. It had a subtle kick to it with out loosing the freshness of the basil. After trying 3 spoons of her dish I wished I got hers (sorry Green Curry)

What better way to finish a happy hour than with " Green tea ice cream"

 

With all that food and drink we had a good time. What did the bill come out to? It was under $50. Split that between two people with tax and tip... I'd say that's a steal!!!

If your in the area I def recommend trying Yum Yum out!!!

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!!
