January Detox at Asia de Cuba, Covent Garden | Wrap Your Lips ...

As with most things, I’ve started my January Detox late, and in this instance with the Healthy Menu at Asia De Cuba.

In terms of healthy eating, the new menu at Asia De Cuba works really well.

That’s not to say I’d ever be able to master the art of cooking enough to be able to make these Beet Pica, one of the highlights of the Asia De Cuba healthy menu.

These feature wonton ‘taco’ shells, filled with dressed beets, spanish olives, currants, almonds, toasted coconut and avocado ceviche.

Tofu and yuzu have officially been added to the shopping list :) Our meal at Asia De Cuba was complimentary.

Asia de Cuba, restaurant review: 'We're back at St Martin's Lane to ...

And fortuitously, St Martin's Lane, the Philippe Starck-designed hotel in Covent Garden which at the turn of the last century was the most ragingly fashionable hang-out in town, has just reopened after a refurb.

Asia de Cuba, the restaurant which introduced London to Chinese/Cuban fusion food , has also defiantly stuck with its unlikely theme, reanimated by a new "executive concept chef", Cuban-born Luis Pous, also responsible for branches in Dubai and New York.

When I reviewed Asia de Cuba (fairly warmly) in 1999, I called it the restaurant equivalent of Philippe Starck's lemon-squeezer: overdesigned, overpriced, but nice to know it's there, even if you only use it once.

Ditto shrimp churros – a huge, filthy hit of salt, seafood and starch served in a ceramic facsimile of a tin can, to be dipped into coconut curry.

Restaurant check: Asia de Cuba - Business Traveller – The leading ...

Chino-Latino restaurant Asia de Cuba is located on the ground floor of the 204-room St Martins Lane hotel in London’s Covent Garden.

Mixologist and bartender Andrew Loudon, who managed Bethnal Green’s Satan’s Whiskers and Islington’s 69 Colebrooke Row, has devised a range of concoctions using unusual ingredients such as citrus sherbet, tea syrup, warm cider cordial, cashew milk, caraway seeds and peony flowers.

If you fancy something light, there are six different types of ceviche (£10-£16) to choose from (red snapper, grouper, scallop, shrimp, cobia and calamari) with a blend of Asian and Latin ingredients (Thai chilli, plantain, ginger chimichurri, wasabi, miso vinaigrette).

You can then move on to small plates such as shrimp churros with sesame, jalapeno and coconut curry to dip them in (£10), or salads such as spicy beef crudo with almonds mandarin orange, Napa cabbage, radicchio and baby sorrel (£16).

Alternatively, you can order larger grilled (plancha) plates – I loved the meaty chipotle glazed tofu with Asian greens, green papaya salad and calabaza chips (£21).

The culinary focus at this good-looking dining spot at the St Martin's Lane Hotel is, mostly, a fusion of Chinese and Cuban flavours.

It's a cuisine that was borne from Chinese migration to Cuba in the late 1850s, to work in the Cuban sugarcane fields.

The dinner menu here features dishes such as crispy wonton served with Spanish olives, currants, toasted coconut, almond and avocado ceviche, spring rolls filled with slow-braised short rib and sweet and sour chilli, chipotle-glazed tofu, and swordfish served with vegetable escabeche, yuca dumplings, bok choy, toasted garlic and a spicy shrimp coconut curry broth.

Tasting menus, bottomless brunches, bento boxes and an Asian-influenced Sunday roast also feature.
