\"limehouseIf it isn’t for the Entertainer App<\/a>, that gives you 1-for-1 mains, I wouldn’t have known of the first and only Caribbean restaurant in Singapore, Lime House. To “lime,” in Trinidad and Tobago’s lingo, means to hang out with friends. The closest Singlish equivalent I could think of is “slack.”<\/p>\n

\"limeSaheenas (curried split peas fritters, spiced tamarind sauce, $12)<\/em><\/p>\n

“Eh, you wanna come my place and slack?”
\n“Eh, you wanna come my place and lime?”
\nPretty cool word, huh?<\/p>\n

\"limehouseCarribean fish cakes (capsicum, curried aioli, pineapple, mango salsa, $12)<\/em><\/p>\n

Like the name suggests, going to Lime House is like going to someone’s house to hang out–a\u00a0homely\u00a0ambience. The menu is created by consultant Trinidadian chef Hasan DeFour.<\/p>\n

\"limeGin beef skewers ($16)<\/em><\/p>\n

Like Singapore, the Caribbean was colonized, so the colonizers brought about their influences in the food. But what is most interesting to me is that 50% of Trinidad’s population consists Indians (brought by British colonization), hence you can find lots of Indian flavors in the food.<\/p>\n

\"limehouseBaby back ribs ($32)<\/em><\/p>\n

For starters, I particularly liked\u00a0the weekly special,\u00a0gin beef skewers<\/strong> ($16), with a wicked hint of heat. The vegetarian saheenas<\/strong> ($12), that came with a tangy tamarind sauce, tasted like a breaded version of samosas.<\/p>\n

\"limehouseSince Entertainer app gives you 1-for-1 mains, go crazy with this section of menu. Mr Fitness enjoyed the curry goat<\/strong> ($28, pictured above), which came with basmati rice. Although this dish is Indian-influenced, it is rather unique in that it had a more subtle and grainy texture to it, displaying how the Caribbean incorporates their own style into the food.<\/p>\n

\"limehouseRed snapper escovitch ($28)<\/em><\/p>\n

When I return the next time, I want to try the coffee jerk rubbed ribeye<\/strong> ($36) and jerk chicken<\/strong> ($28) because I eat jerks for dinner, and because I can eat more using Entertainer’s 1-for-1 mains.<\/p>\n

\"limehouseMacaroni pie $6<\/em><\/p>\n

\"limehouseBecause you save money for the mains, you can splurge on sides and desserts. For sides, go for the caramelized plantains<\/strong> ($5), which is a good palate cleanser between bites of savory food. A Trinidadian native told me macaroni pie<\/strong> ($6) is the ultimate Caribbean comfort food.<\/p>\n

\"limehouseOnce you go black… Piton chocolate cake $12<\/em><\/p>\n

\"limehouseFor desserts, I recommend the spiced banana cake<\/strong> ($12, above) with honey fig ice cream. The surface was crusty and dry which could absorb the melting ice cream.<\/p>\n

\"limeCoffee creme brulee ($12), Deconstructed pina colada ($12)<\/em><\/p>\n

To sum up my Caribbean night, what is different about Caribbean food is that it is fully flavored and thoroughly marinated, with a pinch of heat. If you’re thinking of getting the Entertainer App<\/a>\u00a0to use at Lime House and other fantastic\u00a0restaurants, you can get 10% discount using my discount code 2105RERG<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n
