Rasa Noosa

Over the weekend, Carly and I visited Rasa, an Asian restaurant on Gympie Parade in Noosa Heads. It was really awesome.

After watching the sun set, we sat down and perused the menus. It was comprised of standard fare Asian dishes, notably sweet and sour chicken or pork and satay chicken or pork. In addition, they had many sides which interested me, specifically ‘Bert’s Balls’ which came in steamed or fried varieties, and were made from something that was of similar taste to dim-sims, but they had something a little extra. They were very nice.

So, Carly and I had some of Bert’s Balls as an entree, alongside some special bread which was herb-ful and delicious. I can’t quite recall the name, so I’ll have to get back to you on that one. We chose our mains; Carly decided on satay chicken, and I chose something else entirely; I do not recall the name, but it was made from chilli, onion, tomato, chicken, and various vegetables, and it was absolutely yum.

The prices were definitely agreeable; at under $20 per meal, the portions were more than considerable and the quality of the food was excellent, most definitely not the fat-soaked cholesterol-fest that Asian food is typically presented as.

We had a wonderful time. After which, we visited Hastings St where we purchased some gelati from one of the local confectionary cafes; I had chocolate and strawberry. It was beautiful. The strawberry gelati, being made from real strawberries, tasted exactly like… strawberry. Simply incredible. The chocolate had a lovely hazelnut flavour to it.
