If ever hear someone from the Caribbean saying “I am liming with my friends…” don’t be surprised… they do that quite often… just as we do! For liming in Caribbean simply means… “Hanging out!” That’s exactly where the latest Caribbean / Jamaican restaurant got its name… Lime House… Meaning Hangout House!And true to its name, it is fast turning out to be chilled-out, relaxed place to hang out with friends and family, share a drink and some delicious Jamaican food! Situated in a pretty shop house
And true to its name, it is fast turning out to be chilled-out, relaxed place to hang out with friends and family, share a drink and some delicious Jamaican food! Situated in a pretty shop house on Jiak Chuan Road, it’s a place I am sure I will visit often.
I loved the place, the food was different, very well done, and in short delectable. Having said that, I could have done with slightly larger portions of food. Some of the portions seemed small for the price they charge, and left you wanting for more. Further, this is no place for a vegetarian. I sincerely hope, considering the fact that it’s still new, that they add a few all veggie dishes. I know, veggie and Caribbean may not be a good fit, but hey, jerk sauce can be served with broccoli right? The appetizers have a couple all veggie dishes, and they do have a veggie salad, but absolutely no veggie mains. That essentially means, that I cannot take my husband there for dinner at least!
But, they have a post-dinner bar and lounge on the second floor of the two-storey building, which is quite a cool hangout. Keeping up with the overall Caribbean theme, it has some lively, at times over the top, but snappy music, which one can enjoy on a relaxed evening. When we left the restaurant that evening, satisfied and happy, I realized that the reason I was feeling elated was because this isn’t just another restaurant, this is a place started by a native Trinidadian, who wants to bring his roots, his culture and his cuisine all the way across seven seas and share it with Singapore, a cultural potluck, hoping that he can get a lot many to share his passion and his love for his roots!
Overall, a definite thumbs up!
