I had the Clay pot chicken, which was really good. Basically it’s chicken cooked in a clay pot with onions and butter. Simple and really delicious. I was surprised there was a touch of sweetness to it, and really enjoyed that aspect. It was not spicy, but it was “warm”.
It came with rice, of course, and a small side salad, which I was going to ignore. But when I got a taste of the dressing, which you can’t really see, it was sweet and tangy and very nice. Another reviewer talked about her salad being wilted, but if she got it to go, and they put it in the warm rice container, like they did with mine, that’s what’s going to happen. Also, would she consider a “pasta house“ type of salad “limp”? To me, it was the same kind of thing here.
My friend had the Curry basil fried rice. It was way too spicy for me, but then I’m a little baby about that. Spice level four, out of five, was ordered, and it was plenty hot, but we paid a bit extra for a little container of their spicy chili paste (that they make in house), and he quite enjoyed that. I could see the steam coming out of his ears, ha ha. Everything in the fried rice, I was told, was well distributed, and the beef slices were big and tender.
While everything else was good, their lemon cake just about made me swoon, lol. The frosting seemed to be whipped cream based, light and fluffy, and the cake was thick and moist. Good sized piece, too. I would go back there just for the cake. No picture, ummm, because, I smashed it in my face and forgot.
All in all, good lunch. I thought it was expensive, but then I think everything is, so you can’t go by me. 😊
We had takeout, and I was a little disappointed at the Styrofoam packaging, but ordering was easy over the phone (the gal who answered was helpful and courteous). When I picked up my order, it was ready pretty quick, and the place looked bright and clean (maybe 10 tables?).
Nice addition to Florissant, thanks!
