Asia de Cuba

Asia de Cuba restaurant is located on the ground floor of the hotel on Saint Martin's lane. It's quite easy to miss because there's not really a sign outside, only the number of the place so I ended up walking past it a few times before I realized!

This fusion style restaurant is mainly white with wooden floorboards with light bulbs coming down from the ceiling and decorated with soft inviting lights. Little details such as pillars filled with black and white photographs and shelves of bookcases sort of make it feel like you're eating at home albeit a very nice home!

You cannot in any way fault the service. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and appeared at the exact moment that you wanted something like magic but weren't in any way imposing at the same time. I don't know how they do it really lol.

When I went, we had the bento box thing for our mains which were definitely interesting. There was a good mix of textures soft and creamy avocado ricecrunchy calamari salad..crispy braised oxtail spring rolls. Yum! The boxes were a good way of trying out a few different things from the menu for cheaper. I'm not sure if they still do it though, it may have been a special for that month.

The dessert I had was just amazing. I got the Cuban coffee brownie with fudge sauce. Firstly, it was just presently extravagantly.they managed to get the piece of brownie standing up vertically! Then the flavours..OH MY GOD! There was an amazing mix of coffee, nuts, chocolate, fudge and kahlua with crunchy bits, cold soft bits, melting bitsit was just heaven! The only problem about this place is that I now have to bag myself a rich boyfriend so I can come here more often! Haha.
