Some places just keep on blowing me away with the beautiful things they come up with. Combine it with a healthy twist, and you have a keeper! From the very first day, Farhan of Dragonfly's Kitchen amazed me with the delicious wraps, panna cotta and brownies he sent along with a healthy dip tray. And then he just didn't stop. Burgers, pastas, wrap variations, and the very latest, Le Poulet.
This review will be waxing lyrical about a little bit of everything I've tried lately from Dragonfly's Kitchen.
Firstly the Mucho Macho Wrap. This was a beef wrap with an oriental feel to it, at least for me. Of course as with all of Dragonfly's offerings, this was fresh, healthy and bang on in terms of textures and flavors. The beef was succulent, the sauce just enough to add the salt quotient into the mix of beef, fresh vegetables and wholewheat wrap.
If I haven't spoken about the Dragon's Mouth Burger, I apologize. This burger is your answer to a burger that's healthy, well put together in terms of flavor and definitely for those who want to have their hunger satiated while going easy on the pocket. Accompanied with delicious potato wedges, a flapjack is the perfect way to end a Dragon's meal!
Before I go on to the flapjacks, allow me to tell you about my latest favorite on the menu. Le Poulet. The first time I wanted to order something healthy, I asked a colleague and he said, 'Yeah yeah, the chicken tarragon is really good at Dragonfly' and I do admit I was a little disappointed that yet another place had succumbed to death by tarragon chicken. Imagine the relief I felt when Farhan was offended I called Le Poulet tarragon chicken! And what I got was SO pleasing to my eyes and my taste buds!
Juicy, tender chicken filet wrapped in aluminum foil, which had at the bottom the most delicious jus, which was basically just the moisture from the chicken post grilling . Accompanying that was mashed potatoes almost as good as my own! Creamy, smooth and buttery goodness. The side salad was definitely a hit for me. The olive oil dressing went perfectly with the corn, beans and fresh vegetables. The vegetables themselves weren't teensy meansy pieces either. They were good solid mouthfuls that went brilliantly with the chicken and mash. I didn't even touch the ketchup to be honest. Just wasn't needed.
As those of you who read my reviews regularly know, I have a definite sweet tooth. And the flapjacks Farhan sent over were a new kind of dessert for me. The best way to describe it for someone who hasn't tried them before (Raises hand) is that it's a better version of a commercially available granola bar. If you like oats, and you like granola bars, and you like golden syrup (Who doesn't like golden syrup?) this is your dessert heaven. It was still slightly warm because it was freshly baked, chewy, oatey, sweet goodness. And I didn't feel bad about finishing it all by myself either!
Since I'm now haungry and it's lunch time, I'm off to see what I can wheedle out of Dragonfly's Kitchen!
