Recession Obsession: Cheap-Enough Organic

Asian-ish

Green Zone's Asian influence is definitely noticed on the menu...While their dishes aren't too traditional, they offer a mild fusion that doesn't flaunt itself...It's a humble, winning formula...

Entrees are about $8 each...The fish, a few dollars more than that (the above salad was $11.) That sea bass was fresh, not fishy, and melted in my mouth (not in my hand, which would be weird.) I had pangs of longing the next day...They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and this heart is ready to gnaw on some organic sea bass as though it were my last meal prior to getting The Chair.

The Hainan Chicken with Jasmine Rice (pictured) is wonderfully enjoyable as well...The jasmine rice was so tasty that I would have ordered it in a mixing bowl and used a wooden cooking spoon to jam it down the piehole...

The deep fried Salmon triangles were the perfect appetizer too...Warm, indulgent, crispy, and fun for the whole family (if your whole family is in attendance.)
