Asia de Cuba at Morgans Hotel

Mr.K and I met with our tax accountant this past week and we had planned to just get a low key dinner in NYC afterwards but while waiting for the accountant we decided that a low key dinner was not in our future.  We were playing with our iPhones and both came across the prix fixe menu at Asia de Cuba.. after realizing we were looking at the same menu we had to book it (love Opentable).  A few hours later we were at Asia de Cuba (this week's fav restaurant) enjoying a wonderful meal. Neither of us thought to take any pics (I think we were in shock from our meeting with the tax accountant) so I borrowed a few images from the Asia de Cuba website.

The restaurant serves family style and recommends two appetizers, one entree and a side dish. 

We both love miso black cod so we quickly veered away from the prix fixe menu!  Our choices:

• CALAMARI SALAD ‘ASIA DE CUBA' - CRISPY CALAMARI WITH CHAYOTE, HEARTS OF PALM, BANANA, CASHEWS, CHICORY, AND RADICCHIO, SESAME ORANGE DRESSING (Minus the bananas as I really dont like them)
• LOBSTER SHIITAKE POTSTICKER - WATERCRESS CHERRY TOMATO SALAD, VANILLA RHUM AND LOBSTER CORAL SAUCES
• MISO CURED ALASKAN BLACK COD - CUBAN BLACK BEAN AND EDAMAME SALAD, TEMPURA SHISITO PEPPERS
• THAI COCONUT STICKY RICE

Everything we ordered was delicious .. I am a huge fan of coconut sticky rice steamed in banana leaf and this side dish was amazing.  We actually brought the leftover sticky rice home and ate it the following night along with grilled chicken salad!

Right before we left I realized I forgot to take any photos so here are a few.



Mr.K and I have also been to the Asia de Cuba at the Mondrian Hotel in South Beach and the food was just as amazing.  So if you get a chance to visit NYC or South Beach check out this restaurant.. if not for dinner at least a drink at the bar.
