It's been a while since I've blogged about my latest food experience. Not because I haven't gone out, but mainly because it was an intense holiday season that left me burned out and too tired to type. So, today on this blizzardry day on Long Island I figured, let me share the details from my last visit to a new local restaurant in Huntington, NY.
This past week I went to TOA for lunch. The whole time I kept saying it was TAO and then when I got home I realized similar intitials but not the same as the popular celebrity hot spot. Well, if the food at TOA is anything at all like the food at TAO I have to say TAO must have great dishes. I began my meal with a Miso soup which was perfect. It wasn't too salty and there was just enough tofu and seaweed in it to make me think about getting a bowl to go. Instead, I decided to slurp it all up and partake in my appetizer of avocado rolls. I know, what's so great about those. Well, usually when I go to a Japanese restaurant the rolls have less of the main ingredient that you want and plenty of rice. At TOA, the opposite was true. The rolls had a nice chunk of avocado in each piece and I couldn't stop eating them. I was supposed to share them with my friend but she ended up getting assed out. They were too good.
Sipping on my glass of Merlot provided the perfect anticipation for what I could only imagine would be a great meal. Arriving, in a good amount of time my main dish was presented before me. I took just a second to snap a picture before devouring my order. I chose the Kitchen Bento Box, specifically going with the Terriyaki Salmon and Brown Rice, Mini Spring Rolls and Shrimp Dumplings. Pure perfection. I also tasted the tender steak that my friend ordered and would have been pissed with my choice had I not had the delectable salmon to drool over. My food was absolutely delightful and I'm looking forward to going back.
