I have been avoiding Cactus Club for a little while now. I think I overdid it
It’s a great vibe. But one can only eat the food at a particular establishment so much before your taste buds tire of it.
So while the boys are just drinking tonight, I’m sticking with Cranberry and Soda and eating instead. Food is always higher on my priority list than alcohol.
Thai Red Curry with Chicken.
Currently my favorite item on the menu, nicely grilled chicken in a red curry sauce with chili oil, veggies and Jasmine rice on the side.
The whole plate just works really well together. The red curry has a lovely South Asian flavor with a little kick from the peppers and enhanced with the fragrant Jasmine rice. Honestly this is a better red curry than a lot of the Thai restaurants I’ve been in.
London Fog Creme Brulee for dessert.
Flavoured Creme Brulees are not my first choice, most often due to the texture being off from a traditional custard. And it was in this case as well. Not as creamy as it should be.
They fired the top a little too long as well. The custard was too warm in spots underneath. It’s a tricky thing to get right though.
Nevertheless it was Creme Brulee, and it was still good.
One thing I can always count on at Cactus Club is good service. It’s Saturday night, it’s packed in here, and the food came quickly and my drink never sat empty for long.
Cactus Club isn’t the greatest restaurant around, but it’s always consistent.
