Jeff & I took Kai out for lunch today to a new Asian fusion restaurant called
The Green Papaya, up on the northside of Jacksonville. The decor was very modern, with glass tables and a lot of metal in the design. The waitresses were friendly and didn't seem to mind Kai's squeals of enjoyment.

"The Amazing"

Red Curry Chicken
We ordered the Green Papaya Salad with chicken (no pic, sorry) for an appetizer and it was spicy! It was tasty, but I think I'll chose spice level 2 next time (strange coming from us, huh?). I had the red curry and Jeff had a dish called "The Amazing." Both were spicy, but not as much so as the papaya salad, whew! The Amazing had a sweet peanut based sauce with fresh steamed broccoli and chicken. Both entrees were delicious, would definitely go there again!
Yum! I wish my husband ate vegetables. He always gives me the broccoli out of his General Tso's Chicken. The one redeeming ingredient and he skips it. I feel like we're in a V-8 commercial sometimes. On topic: that food looks really, really good. The decor does look fancy, like a Copelands almost. Not baby-friendly, but I'm sure they don't care as long as you leave a good tip!
ReplyDeleteThe decor was a little weird, very urban. Really didn't seem to fit the food. Funny b/c the restaurant is in a strip mall, lol! Food was good though....
