cozy and comfortable with wall tapestries, and cushions & pillows to sit

JJ CHINESE SEAFOOD RESTAURANT |
|
2500 W. Alameda Ave. |
|
Denver, Colorado 80219 |
|
(303-934-8888) |
|
|
|
The first thing one sees, besides the door, when entering
this modest restaurant is a wall of live fish. Live EEL,
Crab, Shrimp, Lobster,
Talapia, and more are on display in the tank. The tank is
as clean and pristine as a home aquarium. These fish/crustaceans are also
on the menu. The menu(s) that mention “Cantonese”
consist of about a half-dozen pages of Chicken,
Seafood, Pork, Beef,
Hot Pot, Vegetable/To-Fu, [sic]
Fried Rice, Porridge, Noodles/Lo
Mein, Noodles with Soup, and of course
Appetizers, *Beer, *Wine and
Desserts. The basic meats /fish/vegetables include
variations of Hot & Spicy, Szechuan,
Sweet & Sour, Black Bean Sauce,
Garlic Sauce, Brown Sauce, and Orange
Sauce dishes, just to name a few. |
|
|
|
Here are a few items from JJ’s menu:
Crab Meat & Bamboo Fungus with Shark’s Fin Soup ($10.95 - for
one,) Pig’s Blood & Intestine with Salted Vegetable Hot Pot ($8.95,) Kung
Pao Shrimp ($9.95,) Sea Cucumber with Slice Abalone [sic]
($35.95,) Whole Dungeness Crab with Spaghetti in Cheese Sauce (around
$16.00.) This whole crab is “drawn and quartered” and served - in
shell - over a bed of spaghetti dressed with a melted
cheese sauce. |
|
|
|
JJ Chinese Seafood Restaurant
is not terribly fancy, it’s rather plain. It is, however, very clean and
tidy. It’s a family restaurant in an older neighborhood. None of that
(except for the clean and tidy) really matters here, it’s all about the
fresh, authentic, well-served food. |

*The Beer & Wine choices are limited. |

LITTLE MAN Ice Cream in Denverhttp://www.lasvegasbuffetclub.com/blog/?p=96 |
|
A Denver gem, just on the outskirts of downtown Denver,
Little Man Ice Cream is situated in a perfectly scaled
and finished, vintage, Cream-Can building. Reminiscent of 1940's - 50's
Hot Dog or Donut stands which were built to look like an old shoe or a
piece of food, this cream-can is fashioned from welded steel, then
finished to look just like the real thing. The thing is, the Cream-Can is
a perfect representation. This hip piece of pop-art has a
Ghirardelli Square
vibe! Yea, I know... |

THAI BASIL - Asian Fusian Restaurant
in Denver, Colorado |
|
|
|
“Thai basil is a
cultivar group of basil. It has a more assertive taste than many other
sweet basils. The herb has small leaves, purple stems and a subtle
licorice or mint flavor”
read more from Wikipedia… Thai Basil
( 5 locations in the Denver/Colorado Springs area) is a
fresh “now” restaurant offering Thai-Asian-Fusion
cuisine.
In a perfect balance of
Yin & Yang (
陰陽, ) Thai Basil balances the old and
new. California-modern design mixes with old-burl
table tops, old-country cabinets, and Asian
bed-frames (used as a dining islands.) We have been to: The Thai Basil Hang Out Grill (3301
W 38th Ave.) and the Washington Park location (540
East Alameda Ave.) The East Alameda location has
the bed-frame; the TB Hang Out Grill
incorporates the burl wood tables. The Park Meadows Mall
location looks fantastic with a second story bank of bed-frame dining
booths. Resplendent with very expensive-looking burl wood tables,
chairs and cabinets, this location (we have not yet dined there) appears
to be the "Mother Ship"...
Thai Basil - 8345 Park Meadows
Center Drive, Lone Tree, CO 80124
Tel: (303) 799-8788
Fax: (303) 799-8967
I acquired a serious appreciation for Pad Thai
in Southern California and Thai Basil
serves a beautiful Pad Thai.
Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese
menu items include: starters, salads,
soups, meats, seafoods,
vegetables, noodles, rice,
deserts and more. Thai Curries,
Vietnamese Rice Noodle Bowl, Szechuan Asian Eggplant,
Crispy Duck and Fried Rice are just a
few facets of the fusion. Some of my other favorites - besides Pad
Thai ($7.95) are: Coconut Soup, Satay
Chicken, Thai Spring Roll and Kung Pao
Chicken.
Thai Basil has a
full Bar with a good selection of Asian and domestic
beers. At the time of this post, several locations (that I know of) are serving: (HANG ON TO YOUR HAT) $.25
cent domestic beers and $.50 cent imported
beers. You have to order food & there is a limit. Call for more
information…

OK, so I like this place. The VERY ACCEPTABLE pasta dinners
are inexpensive and complete. Dinners include: salad or soup, a
fresh-baked-bread-loaf (you slice,) beverage and spumoni ice-cream.
The pasta dinners start at about $7.95. |
|
A Lasagna and Chicken Marsala dinner goes for
about $11.95. I enjoy The Pot Pourri which is a sauce
sampler: Browned Butter & Mizithra Cheese, Meat,
Clam and Marinara sauces on a pasta choice (Spaghetti, Angel
Hair, Whole Wheat or Gluten Free) - $9.65. |
|
|
|
I also like the ambience: A turn-of-the-century original
ceiling (*The Denver City Cable Railway Building,)
dark woods, old-world: sofas, chairs, tables, and tiffany-style lamps,
lamps with beads and fringe, and a dozen tables on an old train car make
this a fun, vibrant place to dine. It is a family restaurant, so
expect the kids (lots of 'em) to enjoy it also. The restaurant is
huge, so one can expect a bit of a circus atmosphere at times. On
the other side of the meatball, though, because of the restaurants size
you are likely to find a quieter booth in an out of the way nook - there
are a half-dozen partitioned areas, including a large bar in The Old
Spaghetti Factory. |

*The Denver City Cable Railway Building on Lawrence Street
in Denver, Colorado opened in 1889. Originally built to house power and
maintenance facilities for Denver's cable car system, it now houses a
restaurant and office space. It was added to the National Register
of Historic Places in 1979. |
