One of the things I grew up eating was steamed rice with fresh mango. No sauce, nothing, just chewy rice and sweet fruit, it was perfect. This lunch brought me back to those meals with my grandma. Gin, however, wasn't part of that meal, that's my grown up me, lushing it up first thing in the afternoon. Lulu's "new" space (it's been a while since they moved, but this was our first time in) was a wonderful mix of brightly-colored walls and tropical plants. The only thing I didn't like? The NO DURIAN sign painted at the front door. Whaaa?! I love durian.

Rice is extra, but no meal is complete with rice for me.

shallots, Thai chili, cashews, lime juice and cilantro.

What a travesty! No one gives durian enough credit. I love it in my pastries and ice creams.
