The husband and I have decided to actually leave our amazingly comfortable couch and venture away from Cheetos and bacon for a few weeks to enjoy Miami Spice, one item on a short list of reasons why I ever really enjoy summer in a city where 85 degree weather passes for “brisk.”
Our first stop this year was at the Mondrian for some Asian-inspired Latin fare at Asia de Cuba. While the decor was intriguing and whimsical in a Wonderland kind of way, it was the pairing of bold flavors and seasonings in each dish that left a lasting impression long after we’d exited the marble-encased madness. Major points for the lobster mash, a definite favorite. Though we’re still not sure if everything else quite went together on the plate, we can definitely agree that boredom was not an issue.
Oh, yeah. We saw Fat Joe. That’s gotta count for something, right? The journey continues for decent food in Miami. We’ll keep you posted. Next stop: Fontana.
