Eating cheaper in no way means subsisting on the dollar menu at your nearest fast food drive-through. Trust me, your waistline and cardiologist will thank you for beginning the new year by ingesting light, flavorsome cuisine - say, the dazzling French-Vietnamese dishes at a lovely spot like Le Lan.
Treat yourself to Executive Chef Chad Starling’s culinary alchemy via Le Lan’s “annual” menu available exclusively during the month of January. The $20.09 menu includes a choice of three entrees and two desserts.
You might choose braised beef short rib with apple-chile puree; yu choy and shrimp dumpling; curried trout with black rice, edamame puree, cilantro vinaigrette and pea shoots; or perhaps marinated tofu with wild mushrooms, cous cous and yu choy.
Since you’re feeling self-satisfied at this point for dining on such healthy, delicious fare, dive right into the dessert course: sample molten chocolate cake with cardamon ice cream and candied orange or Vietnamese coffee crème brulee with a lovely cinnamon beignet.
