Limehouse:
After a particularily busy morning in an already hectic week, I was longing for a place to have some peace and quiet. It was either O La La (for noodles) or Limehouse.
It was my first time here and I wasn't quite sure what to expect in view of the mixed reviews.
The first thing which impressed me was the simple and soothing wood based decor with cool air-conditioning and relaxing guitar as background music.
The wooden tables and chairs were reasonably spaced apart.
The quiet spoken waiter handed me a simple menu, aptly entitled, the "Simple Lunch":
I ordered the pan fried turbot. I suspect they change this now and then. I believe they do fish and chips at night as well.
Soup of the day:
This was "Cream of Pea and Crab Meat". This was very good. Rich, smooth, and creamy. There was a fair amount of crab meat and a smaller amount of green peas.
The slight quibble I had was that no bread was provided together with the soup, whch was very odd for a Western restaurant. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the soup. Pan Fried Turbot with Mango Tomato Salsa:
Two large pieces of turbot on a substantial bed of mashed potatoes.
The mashed potatoes were smooth and buttery. Not as buttery as the signature mash at Robuchon a Galera but certainly a lot healthier. The herbs inside the mash added complexity to the taste.
The two turbot fillets were large and had a lot of fish oil. The skin was nice and crispy but the meat was tender. It mixed very well with the sweet mango and tomato salsa sauce.
The good amount of veggies that came with the turbot were also fresh and crunchy. Even the Brussels Sprouts were slightly pan fried beforehand, which got rid of the grassy taste in most sprouts.
The set came with a cup of lemon tea:
The waiter was extremely polite and efficient. I was very happy with this simple lunch. This will definitely be another place I'll return to if I need a quite and simple lunch.
Recommended.
