Blue Bamboo

Hey guys it is Nubs here to tell you about Blue Bamboo!

I saw something on the internet about this place. How it was a fusion of Southern and Asian cooking! I was pretty excited to try it! Seriously Southern and Asian better shut your mouth I'm down like like an elevator from the top floor!

We got there around 7ish it wasn't very busy but it looked really nice inside.

Definitelly loved our server she was awesome very knowledgeable and helpful +1 for her =)

First we ordered drinks I got a Sierra Nevada pale ale easily one of my goto favs! Poor Laura didnt have her I.D. /fail =P she got a delicious pomegranate iced tea(it was way awesome the use iced tea ice cubes I know epic right)

SHUT YO MOUTH!

Then it was time for apps for me it BBQ Duck Wonton Crisps and Laura had Soft Shell Crab! both very tastey

Then it was time to dinner I was really indecisive lol totally out of character right??(ok maybe not quit judging me), I finally decided to have 1/2 Canton Roast Duck, and Laura had Katsu Vietnamese Tra Fish. Both were very good. also the salad with my duck was awesome! 

All in all a good experience great service we even met the chef who seemed to  come to ever table very personable and nice. We didn't plan on dessert but the chef sent us dessert any way. I don't remember what the cake was but it was good we also had lychee sorbet and a tiramisu all tasty!!

We also discovered that the chef  had a cookbook  pretty neat!

o yea the thing above is the dessert menu !

thanks for reading love Nubs

India's Restaurant

Hello there! Laura Lee here.

My apologies to our many many avid R&N blog readers. I have been slacking on my pimping. Nub’s and I took a trip to India’s Restaurant the week before last.  I know. My bad. I have a million excuses, but I’ll spare you and get on with it…

 We were allured there by a one Chef Kenny Gilbert facebook post. Yes, the one belonging to the last blog, Nippers. It was interesting. That seemed to be the key word all night interesting.

We started off with awesome choice of Indian lager, Kingfisher. ‘Twas refreshing.

They brought this crispy… tortilla like crispy stuff. A little hesitant I let Mr. Larson take the lead. If you could refer to the picture below… the red stuff – amazing, the darker stuff – good, sweet, the green stuff – not my cup of tea. Don’t eat the green stuff. Don’t. I’m hating on the green stuff. For real.

Being the hungry indecisive ones we are we started with a veggie/meat fried mixed appetizer.  Yes, interesting AND fun.  You should play this game. Guess what’s in my mouth.  I recall what we deemed Indian boneless buffalo wings, and the cauliflower, the best.  It really was. Fried cauliflower is the shit!

My entrée was the chicken bhoona. Wussy mild.  I was scurred. The chicken bhoona pictured below chicken cooked with bell peppers, tomatoes, and fried onions.

Brave Lance, ordered medium lamb vindaloo, with potatoes in curry sauce. We played another guessing game with the rice. Nutmeg? Cinnamon? 

Can't forget the naan. Lovely light flat bread. So yummy. So yummy. Dippy dip.

This time we went with boxes instead of dessert. Happy and full, we made our way to Cliff’s for a heated game of shuffle board. I won. As usual. Bawhahahahahaha!
