i'm on my break right now [i'm a double shift today], so i thought i'd write a little bit about the restaurant.
gotta give it up to them for the decor. this guy jaques garcia was the designer [i believe]; he's pretty prominent in his line of work. it's really quite a show to dine inside this restaurant. i can't even describe it for you because i wouldn't do it justice. the server uniforms are also pretty dope if you happen to be a customer [and not a server, or at least not a female server]. we have the privilege of wearing backless aprons with pants. that's not the best description but it pretty much sums it up.
the cuisine is a southeast asian blend. i've never been a huge fan of the food but last night i had the striped bass. it was pretty dope. not gonna lie. REALLY spicy...and i love spice. it's got wok fried napa cabbage, waterchestnut and cucumber.
i would also say go for the spiced chicken samosas. maybe the best thing on the menu [in my opinion]. the black pepper shrimp is pretty tasty too, although some customers have described it as too salty [not sure that i agree with them....and i'm not generally a fan of the salt].
hands down, their desserts are the best part of the meal. you can't go wrong with a single one [i mean i guess don't order the fruit basket....as far as fruit baskets go it's awesome, but in general i'd say they are pretty boring].
there's awesome specialty cocktails at the bar. i'd recommend the pineapple mojito [it's a seasonal drink, interchanged with a kumquat mojito]. people also rave about the ginger margarita.
ps i just looked through the official employee manual which says that spice market "may monitor" employee blogs. i hope everything i said was pc....
whatever you order i can guarantee you will enjoy dining at this restaurant.
