Do you know what comes after staying up late at night and waking up so late in the morning? (It's my holiday the next day, anyway) It's my tummy craving for yummy food. The feast came to an end along with the holiday season. However, I'm going to focus on being fit and healthy this year. I want to avoid fast food as much as possible, yet I also want to taste various culinary flavors.
I walked to Manhattan Mid-Town last Sunday to look for a restaurant that I hadn't been to before, hoping to find a new culinary flavor, something Asian, with rice. I can't live without rice! Although I saw this restaurant before, I haven't tried eating there yet. So, why not give it a go? I might find great Asian food inside. When you read the name, did you anticipate lime fish cuisine? However, I was hoping to find dishes that included lime. But lime fish isn't everything about its name. Fresh Asian dishes like Thai, Vietnamese, and Singaporean are available at this restaurant. I hope they served Filipino food, though. My first impression was great, from the food menu to its rustic country interior design. There's a sense of homey and cozy rural vibe with its natural vintage accents and relaxed atmosphere. I like the simplicity and authenticity of the place which makes it inviting to diners with the vibe of a country space. Its wooden tables and chairs, wooden walls and ceilings, iron fixtures and hanging lamps, country signs, and warm colors give a harmonious and tranquil ambiance. The captivating part is the wall frame full of colorful cylindrical bottles, which I initially thought were liquors. However, upon looking at them intently, it came to my sense that they weren't liquors, but different Asian spices and herbs preserved in those cylindrical bottles. The arrangement of colors complements the space well. Wooden utensils boxes with Cafedo Brasil. Does it mean it's made in Brazil? The drink came first. It's hot lemon tea in a stainless steel cup. A moment later, my food was served in a hot clay pot on a wooden tray. It's baked lemongrass chicken in Thai coconut-style sauce. Its enticing look made me want to dig in right away. Any Asian cuisine cooked in coconut sauce is truly my liking. They reminded me of Filipino dishes in other styles of cooking. Foods here take a while to be served as they are freshly made using different Asian spices made by the chef. With the relaxing ambiance, I wouldn't mind waiting. The food was great! As you look at it, you might think the topping is cheese. But I truly tasted coconut in every bite. I mixed the sauce with the rice, and the taste was even more amazing. It's been a while since I visited a good restaurant, and I felt content that day. Good food for the tummy is life! (All photos are mine) You can also reach me on my socials and let's be connected:
That looks like a lovely place for some food. It does look like cheese on top too. 😉 I am also some one who likes rice with everything 🤣

Rice is so hard to resist now! I tried it before for a few months, but now I can't control myself anymore, so I gained a lot last month. Food is life rice is life pa nga hahaha
Rice is life for us Filipinos haha..
Wow looks yummy din sya sis. Yung lemon tea nice din sa Ryan, pang cleansing din ehhehe
Yup.. Most restaurants here serve lemon tea for free.. hehe..
For free? Wow that's good.
Thank God that I just finished my lunch and maybe this is the first time I am reading your post in the perfect time. I won't feel hungry now 😅.!LOL
The decoration of the restaurant is quite decent and I liked it very much.
In case of food it's looking delicious but I think I haven't tasted that kind of food.

I love the open spacious look. The wall of spices is cool and I intially thought it was liqueur. I don't believe I have seen that before in a restaurant. I too have some food goals of trying some new cuisines this year. I too need to kick the fast food or at least limit it.
That Thai cuisine plate looks so yummy 😋
Haha right on! Nothing better than feeling satisfied and happy after eating 😊

Make sure not to consume too much ice cream haha go for healthy ones. .
!PIZZA
Haha I got my hand tied not consuming ice cream. Hey frozen yogurt is a much healthier alternative and is tasty too :) I guess everything but ice cream can be in moderation allowing me a slip with the frozen treats.

I'll try frozen yogurt. Seems yummy hehe
I'll post a recipe on it at some point. My favorites kinds are vanilla and peanut butter. But first I have to make a snowman ⛄ haha. We have snow but now it's too cold, I tried today too fluffy won't pack 😢
not a fan of peanut butter now... I like the home made though...
You can try next time anyway 😁
What a good resolution, dear friend @jane1289, feeling healthy is the best thing you can do, and nutrition plays a very important role in it.
How great that you finally visited this restaurant and really enjoyed the food you ordered.
stay healthy, eat rich and balanced foods
Have a wonderful day
True, stay healthy.. So that we can do whatever we want in life hehe
Eating healthy while exploring new flavors is almost rare but doable, I don't know much about Asian food, the most common is sushi what a cliche right? so silly 😅, recently I found in my city a Korean food restaurant and here are not many that I would like to try, I don't know if you can recommend me a menu
What's your city?
famous Korean food for me are rice cakes, grilled meat wrapped in lettuce or what they called Samgyeopsal, kimchi is also part of it,..not sutr if you heard Bibimbap, but I like it too..
I live in Panama, central america, there is a little bit about everything but Korean restaurants are starting to get popular and dont worry I havent heard of any so its all new to me 😜 ...Bibimbap looks good lots of vegies looks like a great lunch
You can search them online, anyway hehe
