Last tuesday, I met up with Reg for Jamaican Food before she flew for Germany.
They say in life, you'll meet some friends that'll you do crazy stuff with.They bring out the daredevil in you and so do I. When it comes down to just the two of us. ( in the absence of ming) We usually turn "adventurous" and will go sampling the less mainstream stuff.
The Lime House
First Word: Quality Food cooked to perfection. Awesome service. Laid Back,
The LimeHouse is one of the latest addition to the Keong Saik district . We were there on a lazy tuesday afternoon and opted for the $30 3 Course Lunch Set and added on 2 sides. Total bill : $44.This is what we had:
They are actually FISH MEAT okay. I absolutely love this. You got to eat it with all the sauces.
I can't really remember the name of this dish. I remember that I can't even pronounce it. In short, it is mixed vegetables. Mainly carrots and brinjal. It taste like a marriage between salsa and ratatouille. The carrots and brinjal were all very nicely done. I finished all the carrots. ( That says a lot, considering that I am quite carrot adverse, especially carrots that are raw, with the exception of carrot juce. )
People who knows me will know I will die for this. This is not deep fried my friend. It is pan-fried at its best. It is called Fried Plantain. ( huge bananas). They are not overly mushy like the normal bananas that we eat here in Singapore. But they just taste really fragrant with a little sweetness. I just can't get enough of it. !
This is Jerk Chicken. It is a typical Jamaican food. To me it has very rich Mediterranean taste to it. I thought I taste like ranch sauce on it. The chicken were really tender too! However, Reg say the one that She ate back in the States has stronger spices. [ Is that how it should taste like? ]
Lastly, the dessert of mixed fruits. I love the mangoes though not sure about the pickled fruits.
My last thoughts?: The food were really good. I just not sure if it is "authentic" enough. I thought I see a bit of fusion and adjustments by making use of the local spices. The service is really good, it was just really laid back and we can chat all the day long without like we were imposing.
If you have a better recommendation, please drop us a mail. We are really interested to have authentic African meal!
[and so,
some days,
I just laze around at home,
doing some "exercise" ,
got bored of reading and decided to blog.
some days,
I wake up grateful that I have friends by my side.
even though it means taking away time from the boy,
some people are just worthy of your attention and time.
If you are going through a heartbreak,
friends are your best companion.
party is an ultimate distraction.
but at the end of the day,
you need to rediscover yourself
to make yourself whole again.
I really salute those that can walk out of a heartbreak and become stronger
I think the process of denial, self doubt, self blame and living in total bewilderment is a pain that no one deserves to go through and which no one has the right to inflict upon another.
the pain that leaves you breathless,
giving you a headache,
that makes you feel like you can never smile again,
those that left you wishing you can sleep the day through so that you don't have to deal with the reality.
the questions running through your mind.
I hope no one has to go through that sort of pain.
Protect your heart,
because nothing can last forever you know?
Take a break and breathe. ]
