Pesto & Balsamic Pasta Salad

Its been ages since my last post, i'll try not to neglect the blog anymore!  The past few days in Koh Lanta have been a bit overcast but the sun is peeking out today.  To welcome back the sunshine i've got a deliciously refreshing Pesto & Balsamic Pasta Salad:  Rotini tricolore, asparagus, chicken, cherry tomatoes, and lettuce tossed in a light homemade pesto served with a balsamic vinaigrette.

Pesto & Balsamic Pasta Salad 150THB

Best "Bur-Rios" EVER.

My Fire Roasted Yellow Pepper Salsa Ranchera Chicken Burritos are the bomb.com.  Yes its a long name.. but plain old "Chicken Burritos" are just not enough to convey the love put into these beautiful big burritos.  Tender delicious chicken legs simmered in a homemade salsa ranchera with fire roasted yellow peppers.  The chicken falls right off the bone and is lovingly wrapped in a handcrafted flour tortilla with refried beans, and Mexican style rice.  Best part about them is that EVERYTHING is made from scratch! YUM YUM YUM!  They were so great i'm doing them again as a special this WEDNESDAY the 13th of February.  150THB - 170THB with Imported Mozarella.  Two burritos to an order, delivered with a side of my homemade fiery hot sauce.  Pre-order to avoid dissapointment! :)

Keep an eye out for more Bur-Rio specials!

Grilled Salsa Roja Chicken Flautas

Taquitos are awesome snacks usually consisting of a meat rolled in a corn tortilla and deep fried.  A flauta is a taquito in a flour tortilla.  In an effort to keep it "healthier" I grilled them!  They're like mini burritos!  And not as heavy.  With a side of my homemade firey hot sauce.. Oh em gee, perfect snack on a super hot day.

Special Tomorrow, February 6th: 
Grilled Chicken Flautas
4 pieces of mini grilled flautas with shredded chicken sauteed in homemade salsa roja.  With your choice of refried beans and/or Mexican style rice.  Delivered with a side of homeade firey hot sauce.

Only 80THB

 With imported mozzarella cheese for only 100THB

Nicoise Pasta Salad

New special... coming soon!! I've always loved salad nicoise.. to me, a salad nicoise is lettuce, boiled potatoes, steamed green beans, egg, tuna, capers, and a citrusy dressing.  It's not the traditional version but its super refreshing - filing, yet light on a hot day.  I decided to omit the potatoes and turn it into a wonderful pasta salad.  Lettuce, bowtie pasta, tuna, egg, capsicum, and capers with a drizzle of balsamic and cracked black pepper.. sooo delicious!  Keep your eyes peeled for Nicoise Pasta Salad special :)

Fresh, Super Fresh!

 Did you know I go to the local markets to handpick all poultry and vegetables to to ensure that only the freshest ingredients are used at Rio's Kitchen?  Now thats super fresh!

 Have you tried my BUR-RIOS yet?  Check out a stack of my flour tortillas handcrafted every morning.

MMMM!!! I do a pretty awesome Thyme-Tortilla.. you can turn any sandwich into a wrap!

And some fresh hand picked basil (from my garden!) for my oh so yummy Pesto:

Looking forward to filling your bellies!

RE-OPENING TOMORROW JANUARY 23rd

After a week and a half shut, the kitchen is finally going to re-open tomorrow!  Thank you for all your patience while I was in KL and healing up from my accident.  I'm launching an updated menu as well with some new additions and slight changes.  Please take note of the following:

-  The grilled cheese has changed to a pesto grilled cheese.

-  The AMC Sandwich, Summer Spaghetti, Chicken Parmigiana, and Stuffed Chicken Breast have been omitted from the new menu.

NEW ITEMS:

** Spicy Capsicum Spaghetti ** Chicken Pesto Sandwich ** Chicken Pesto Melt ** Tofu and Mushroom Burritos **

I'm looking forward to filling your bellies! :)

Opening up again... SOON!

It's been ages since my last post!  I'm sorry to say that I got in an accident a couple days ago which keeps me both off my feet and off my motorbike so the kitchen is closed until i'm on my feet again, hopefully in less than a week.

I've been getting alot of phone calls for orders, i'm so sorry to disappoint.  Going to Kuala Lumpur, then the accident right after I returned to Koh Lanta has left the kitchen closed for more than a week now :(  I hope that those of you that have rung the kitchen will still be here on holiday when I'm 100%.  I promise I won't disappoint with my handmade burritos or awesome sandwiches!

Thanks for your understanding!
