Comments on: KAN’S HONG KONG KITCHEN + BASIL ‘N LIME = two tasty Asian cuisines http://www.eatinglv.com/2008/08/kans-hong-kong-kitchen-and-basil-n-lime/ Restaurant Reviews and Culinary Miscellany Wed, 08 Feb 2012 04:34:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: John Curtas http://www.eatinglv.com/2008/08/kans-hong-kong-kitchen-and-basil-n-lime/comment-page-1/#comment-468 John Curtas Sun, 17 Aug 2008 03:24:06 +0000 http://www.eatinglv.com/?p=129#comment-468 The real MacGillicuddy in the first pic is Connie Mack (born: Connie MacGillicuddy) one of the early great managers in professional baseball (of the Philadelphia Athletics) - an obscure reference made solely for the amusement of ELV. The second snap is of Connie Mack - a Congressman or something from Florida....therefore worthy of much less respect than Connie Mack #1.

Flash-fried so that it wasn't too heavy or greasy and had just the right amount of salt and heat. A little hoisin or oyster sauce on the side cools off the heat and sweetens out the salt - if that's of interest. The stir-fried veggies in XO were also delicious. Crispy and tender with just the right amount of sauce to add flavor, but not overpower, the veggies. Haven't tried Basil N Lime yet - as I am an Archi's believer - but will give it a shot sometime soon! I had lunch at Kan’s and really enjoyed my salt-and-pepper squid.

I like Circo's layered Caprese Salad with true Balsamico. But the Cafe at Valentino does a nice one as does Enoteca San Marco is the Venetian Shoppes. Mimmo Ferraro does a functional one, and I'll have to think of others. L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon has done them before....and summertime would be the time to see if they're on the menu. Thanks for the post and try Chowhound as well for other food fanatic picks! Of course the ELV legions can help….but don’t call us Shirley.

And a special thanks for the Basil n'Lime. When you made a nod to Archi's, I knew that you knew what you were talking about. My oldest son loves this restaurant and he was introduced to it by his many Thai friends. Always a good recommendation! Irene I will be sure to try both places.
