The Beginning of Food Fun!

Although I have been sharing brief snippets (usually no more than 140 characters) on Facebook, I decided it was time to go full force and start a blog. For some odd reason, everyone loves hearing opinions about restaurants. I love eating (EVERYTHING!) and experiencing beautiful restaurants, so why not share my opinion? These blog updates will come occasionally (after all, it is not a job), but I promise to keep them brief and to the point. Here we go:

Rasika: The name just has me salivating:) - It is Restaurant Week in D.C., and this reservation was made ages ago. This is my second time to Rasika, and next time I will go to the bar, have one of their delicious martinis and eat endless portions of Palak Chaat which is crispy spinach, sweet yogurt, tamarind, and date chutney. Hearing the ingredients don't do it justice at all. It is beyond divine! Also, a standout worth having every time is the Tamarind Black Cod with star anise, black pepper, roasted chili, and upma. This is mouth-watering amazing! Of course, during Restaurant Week dessert is included, so why not indulge. The fabulous waiter (who was there for every explanation and need) brought us four desserts, instead of one for each of us (three women). He sure knew how to play us. Believe it or not, the winner is Mango and Black pepper Sorbet. It is hard to explain why this is so good, except it is like a mini July 4th in your mouth. First, you enjoy the beautiful mango (fireworks) and then the black pepper explodes. Wow! Everything is beautifully prepared and presented. I highly recommend Rasika to all lovers of food!
