Asia Kitchen Description:
Asia Kitchen keeps soldiering on in the same manner of most Asian restaurants---which is to say that things rarely change. Fortunately, the menu is massive enough (especially if one counts the Chinese component, which we tend not to) and the execution good enough that innovation isn't an issue. We frequently begin with the fish cake, which mixes in lime leaves and sliced long beans. And we always fall for the tiger cry, lightly grilled beef with a very spicy sauce that produces tears of joy mingled with pain. The knee-jerk soups, such as the tom yum buoyant with shrimp, are far from reflex actions. And salads are equally stimulating---especially squid with lime juice, cucumber and onion. We go for anything with glass noodles. Ditto the lusty Thai curries; the heat can always be tamed by follow-up dishes of Philippine ice creams made from such bizarre fruits as the pungent durian.
