Re: Hanimuzki directions

[R Guer]

Thanks for the information on the restaurant, Tom.  I really appreciate it!

 

The two Peruvian restaurants are:

 

Los Portales

1436 N. Semoran Blvd (in the Big Lot shopping center)
Casselberry, FL 32707
(407) 681-4000

Try the Papas a la Huancaina (spicy here), Cazuela de Mariscos, or the Churrasco (with chimichurri)

Limena Chicken (next to a paint store and a Botanica)

1810 N Semoran Blvd
Orlando, FL 32707

(407) 265-6699

Try the Papas or Yuca a la Huancaina (NOT spicy here), Lomo Saltado, and DEFINITELY the seviche (the best)

 

When I went to visit the Korean BBQ place on Colonial, they weren't there.  Bummer!  But, here is a link to Urban Spoon which discusses their food, etc.  Hope you like it!

Hi Rebeca I enjoyed all the wonderful conversation around food last night.  As promised, here Hanamizuki's address: 8255 International Drive, Orlando, FL Tell me how you like the ramen!  I prefer the shoyu tonkotsu variety myself, but there are a bunch for you to choose between.  Do you remember the name of the peruvian restaurant on Semoran that you mentioned to me?

Thanks Rebeca! Bummer about the taco truck. I can only hope that it
will be back soon. I look forward to trying out both of these
peruvian resaturants. Maybe we can make this the site of our next
outing.

To all: So enjoyed our gathering Tuesday eve. Look forward to a gathering next month. Walking in to our local Greek Festival. Will send happy food thoughts to everyone as I nibble my way thru our annual Greek weekend. Peruvian sound quite interesting. I have a student at the university who is from Peru. It would be great to tell her of an experience with her native dishes.

Sorry I missed the Dragonfly event...I had a conference last week. I had eaten there once before. I thought it was all right. I'm interested in Peruvian or whatever else for next time.

see you soon!

Lets do it then! I'd love to try their ceviche.

I finally got to sample from the korean taco truck. Sadly, I was
extremely disappointed. The beef was super greasy, and had this weird
sweet taste to it. That may have been what they were going after, but
it was not good. Also, the kimchi that was included was flavorless
and mushy, the complete opposite of the kimchi I know and love. But
you guys try it for yourselves because I'd like to hear your
opinions. Its in the Citgo parking lot on the NW corner of Primrose
and Colonial, just east of Mills.

As for March, would Tuesday the 22nd work for you all?

March 22 is good for me.

I'm sorry to hear about the Korean food truck.  I was going to head back out there this Friday for a taste.  Maybe I should reconsider?  We'll see....

 

As for our next get together, March 22nd works for me too.  \

 

I'm assuming y'all want to go to Limena Chicken, based on the comments for dining on ceviche?  That sounds more than fine by me.  When I went there a few weeks ago, the ceviche was still wonderful, the chicha (it's a delicious beverage) was unfortunately bottled - not homemade, the papas (and yucca) a la huancaina were a little bland - but still very tasty, the chicken was well seasoned (and thoroughly cooked through - yay), and the lomo saltado (a kind of beef fricassee) was yummy, if a tad but chewy (but I think that was my fault for asking the chef to cook the vegetables a little longer than usual).

Just let me know how many people we'll be and what hour we'll meet, with enough time before the 22nd, and I'll be happy to make the reservations for us.

Hungry just thinking about it. Look forward to hearing more. Iris

Everyone, I won't be able to make dinner on the 22nd. My apologies.
Can someone else organize dinner for the 22nd? Otherwise, I'll be
fine to meet on the 29th.

I can make a change to the 29th, if needed. That would be fine. Iris

[Hoosier]

Iris, if you are up for it, I can still make dinner tomorrow. Anyone
else interested?

I'm still up for it. Would be extra fun if we could gather a bit of a group. What destination?

[R Guer]

Hello All-

 

I just wanted to let you know that I took my mom and her friends to Limena Chicken last weekend, and both the food and service have gone down considerably.  In fact, there were only two menu that were ordered (tilapia ceviche and papas a la huancaina) that were any good.  Everything else was just overcooked and poorly seasoned.  And don't get me started on the woefully inadequate waiter we had!  His behavior was just unacceptable.

 

As a result, I can no longer recommend this restaurant for anything other than the two dishes above.  Truth to tell, there are probably better restaurants in the city to obtain either dish without having to deal with the aggravation of this place.

 

Rebeca

(aka rgcblackie)

 

P.S.

Just as another FYI, I recently discovered that BabyCakes NYC Bakery has opened a small shop/counter service in Downtown Disney (Marketside).  BabyCakes is a vegan bakery in New York that has received rave reviews from foodies, magazines, and especially the Cooking Channel.  I gotta say, their cupcakes and ESPECIALLY their donuts are amazing and do not taste like they are "healthy" or dairy/wheat/sugar free.  If you get a chance, try them out.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised!!!
