Tamarind Springs

Posted by Administrator on 29 July 2010, 2:50 pm

Modeled after traditional village homes, Tamarind Springs transports you to an older, more elegant, Indochina. But with even better food.Consider Vietnamese Grilled Chicken Mousse on Cinnamon Sticks, Cambodian Baked Mussels in a Light Curry Sauce, Laotian Deep-Fried White Prawns or Saigonese Fresh Shrimp Crystal Rolls. A combination platter, perhaps the best bet since it solves the problem of choosing from such an extensive menu featuring, among other things, over fifteen different types of salad.

If you like soups, the Cambodian Hot and Sour Mushroom and Tomato Soup or Laotian-Grilled Catfish Soup are delicious.

Entrees are equally varied. We enjoyed a creamy Cambodian Beef and Tamarind Curry, but also on offer are dishes like Laotian-Stir-Fried Duck with Ginger and Chilli, Khmer Stir-Fried Beef with Sesame Sauce or Grilled Lamb Topped with Sun-Dried Pineapple Sauce.

If you are not tempted by Indo-Chinese fare, there is an alternative. On the ground floor,Il Tempio offers more western-oriented dishes such as Grilled Australian Beef Tenderloin or Risotto with Wild Mushrooms, Green Onions and Ground Parmesan.

Leave behind the roar of the city as soon as you can. Tamarind Springs with its tranquility and good taste awaits you.

The Press Room

Posted by Administrator on 28 July 2010, 11:10 am

The Press Room is rapidly gaining a reputation around town as the place to go for quality European (French-Italian focused) cuisine. Established last November by Gastrodome – the same company that brought us La Bodega – The Press Room offers an array of hearty, simple and fresh dishes as well as an incredibly extensive selection of wines.

According to Head Chef Thierry Bres, “We try to keep things simple here. We focus on that classic French taste. The most important thing is the taste of the food. Our customers know what they are getting and they keep coming back for more.”

I tried some of their specialties, starting with the Seared Foie Gras with Seared Apple. The liver and fruit complemented each other perfectly, and the dish was an absolute delight.

I then moved on to a sampling of snails, prepared in two distinct styles. I tried the Escargots with Tarragon Cream and the Escargots Gratines with Bleu Cheese Butter. Bleu cheese also made an appearance in our main course: the Beef Medallion with Bleu Cheese Sauce and Mash Potatoes.

For dessert I had the recenlty-introduced rosemary, sage and lavender sorbet which cleanses the palate with a refreshing zing and can actually be consumed at any time during the meal.

The simple, hearty fare of The Press Room made an enduring impression on my taste buds.

Located in a beautifully restored 1940’s link house, Yoko’s exudes a charm and vitality that are uniquely its own. Walk in and you will be mesmerized by its simple yet alluring interior decoration which was recently renovated. You can choose to lounge on a sofa, or sit at the long bar, very formally at a table or even laze outdoors on the patio.

But Yoko’s is not just about ambiance. It’s about enjoying masterly prepared Japanesestyle cuisine which is both gratifying to the palette and pleasing to the eye. The menu is extensive. Offered are many variations of fish, chicken, beef, prawn and squid.
