Salsachica’s Ramblings

I found another fabulous halal restaurant in the states that I thought I should share .  Open Sesame serves Lebanese cuisine  in a middle eastern atmosphere, apparently the chef graduated from a famous culinary school in Lebnon.  The atmosphere in the restaurant was  utterly crowded perhaps because of the lunch crowd, but it was a beautifully decorated place. The servings were huge, simply tantalising, we had a huge plate of starters and  tried the lamb chops and the fillet mignon, oh my oh my so sedap! muy delicioso! So different from the middle eastern cuisine in Singapore.  The fillet mignon was so tender and juicy, and the lamb chops were grilled to perfection with a creme sauce that was delightful. Not to forget there’s always salad to balance our meals. One of our best finds in Long Beach and it was just a few streets away from my friend Erik’s place One of their best waitress is Mary, she’s very helpful and knowledgeable about what’s best to try and which desserts are the best, she recommended badam khulfi served with baklava fingers for me, too bad didn’t have a picture of it ‘coz everyone started eating it once its served. Their mint ice tea was refreshing and is a must try. if you travelling through Long Beach do stop by and check Open Sesame out, you won’t regret it!
