If
you want to explore more different kind of food, then I dare you try the yummy
Southern America cuisine. It’s a popular cuisine because of the chili and
seafood combination of their meal. A new restaurant was introduced me and they
serve this kind of cuisine. Minerva’s Cajun Shack is a new restaurant concept
that was brought here by the owners of Murray’s New Orleans restaurant, it’s a
restaurant that serves New Orleans type of dish, similar to Minerva, they both
serve Cajun food.
When I hear Cajun, only image that pops in my mind is
Gambit, a comic character from the X-men universe. Also not just Gambit, but
also the Man vs. food series on Tv. Because I spotted one episode when they roam
the street and tried all those spicy yummy Cajun dishes. Its one of my dream to
try it and oh boy! Dining in New Orleans or in Minerva no longer requires you to
fly to Louisiana, USA.
Cajun dishes usually have the holy trinity ingredients, namely - bell pepper, celery and onions the spice on these three ingredients are diced and combined into cooking like in French cuisine.
So
enough the talking…let me show you around Minverva’s
btw, the photo above is
from
www.wahpinas.com I borrowed the photo
from his blog (thanks Ron)
Inside
Minverva’s will remind you of the old New Orleans restaurant. Well they share
the same interiors and menu, but the menu here in Minerva is much more upgraded
than New Orleans. According to the resto people, they target the female diners
for Minerva, that’s why the name sounds like from the Greek books of mythology.
The menu. just click on the photo to view the large version
of the photo.
I’m
pretty pump up with my dining experience here in Minvera’s Cajun Shack, because
the food served on our table is new and I can say that some buffet in hotels
serve this kind of cuisine. But here in Minerva’s, you can order it by just
raising two fingers in the air.
