___________________________________________________________________

Blue Caravan, is a stylish, spacious Upper West Side eclectic brasserie, featuring modern tapas (small plates) and global cuisine (dinner plates). The restaurant, which opened in April 2011, is owned by Restaurateur/Chef Mei Chau. formally of the award winning Franklin Station Café in Tribeca, which was one of our favorite restaurants in its day.

Blue Caravan is also one of the most exciting restaurants to open on the Upper West Side in years and is an outstanding discovery. The ambiance reveals itself through a 12-foot high ceiling, lacquered wood candlelit tables, rattan and fabric-upholstered chairs and beautiful contemporary photography by the owner’s husband. There are Brazilian cherry wood floors, stylish chrome mirrors, mood lighting, and an open kitchen to create a handsome, contemporary setting.

Blue Caravan’s seasonal global menus are sophisticated and creative, yet simple and earthy.  Mei Chau’s menu is inspired by the multi-cultural influences of her native Malaysia and its popular small plates. As such, it showcases modern tapas (small plates) and global cuisine (dinner plates), thus allowing Mei the creative freedom to create new dishes regularly so that the menu constantly evolves. It is also an outstanding bargain with appetizers starting at $7 and entrees from $16. A copious dinner of small plates can be enjoyed for a token $20 per person or less. It is prudent to save room for the elegant entrees and to accompany one’s meal with a selection of the excellent wines from a user friendly list on the back of the menu.

Blue Caravan features a fine selection of global wines. The international wine list, created by Mei and Beverage Director Jeffrey Palumbo, changes seasonally and is continually evolving. A variety of wines by the glass are also available. We enjoyed wines a full bodied Pinot Gris, from Bott Freres 2008 for $32 the bottle and a fresh and sprightly Rioja Lan Crianza 2006, also $32. There is also a food friendly Riesling and Pinot Grigio by the glass (glass prices from $7 to $10).

When ordering, note that Ms. Chau’s global dishes and sauces are enhanced by an eclectic selection of fresh, flavorful herbs and spices from all around the world. Her use of fresh fruits, seasonal ingredients as well as a variety of global flavors is the foundation of Blue Caravan’s culinary style.

Recommended small dishes include a succulent Shrimp, with garlic, parsley and white wine; zesty Chicken Wings ginger and soy sauce; a fabulous Jasmine Tea Smoked Mackerel, with seaweed tartar sauce and beetroot crisps.; Kabocha and Potato Gratin with cucumber and dill salad (the best vegetarian dish we’ve tasted in ages; Nyonya Mussels, were mildly curried, delicious and also offered Provencal style); Steamed Clam chorizo, white wine, garlic: light and luscious Braised Oxtail Dumplings In Their Own Broth with thai basil beansprouts and crispy shallots; a terrific Pork Bun filled with slow roasted pork belly, ginger hoisin sauce, shitake mushroom, garlic show pea shoots and two dishes, soon to be on the menu from Malaysia that are worth requesting: Laksa (There are two basic types of laksa: curry laksa and asam laksa. Curry laksa is a coconut curry soup with noodles, while asam laksa is a sour fish soup with noodles. Thick rice noodles also known as laksa noodles are most commonly used). Here, the chef demonstrates a free hand and uses Udon Noodles to great advantage. Steamed Seafood in an ethereal fish mousse is another original creation sourced by Mei’s homeland.

Entrees offer a lovely PAN SEARED RED SNAPPER with Jerusalem artichoke purèe, and a terrific ROAST MONKFISH with Sautéed Brussels Sprouts; Eggplant Fan roasted eggplant, zucchini, summer squash and tomato fans, quinoa stuffed artichoke; and a minor miracle: Giant Prawns, perfectly grilled with herbs and spices. and Ginger Red Pepper Sauce. If in doubt, go for the DAILY CHEF’S TASTING PLATE.

We were too full to sample desserts, but the seductive coffee machine emitted a haunting aroma, which we will sample on another occasion, perhaps brunch. Blue Caravan, with its romantic setting, friendly and attentive service, superb kitchen and gentle prices along with a personalized and welcoming proprietorship, offers a unique dining experience for all to enjoy. Absolutely a delight!

Chef’s Bio

Restaurateur/Chef Mei Chau celebrates international cooking at Blue Caravan with a particular emphasis on modern tapas and global dishes. A native of Malaysia of Chinese heritage, Mei learned to cook from her mother. She was born and raised in a small fishing village on the East Coast of Malaysia. Her parents had a farm where they grew herbs and vegetables, and raised farm animals. Later on, her family opened a produce stand in the local market. These formative years exposed Mei to organic produce, a love of cooking, and the multi-cultural influences of Malaysia. When she was a teenager, she moved to Kuala Lumpur, the nation’s capital, to continue her formal education. In the big city of Kuala Lumpur, she was exposed on a large scale to the many ethnic groups and their different cuisines. She enjoyed the many restaurants and outdoor food stands that featured true fusion cooking and small plates. This was cross-cultural cuisine at its purest. It had a multi-cultural impact on Mei in every area of her life. After graduating from Kuala Lumpur College of Art, she moved to New York City in 1988 to continue her fine art studies.
In 1993, Mei opened Franklin Station Café, a French/Malaysian bistro in TriBeCa. It immediately became popular with the local artists of that time. She worked in all areas of this intimate bistro. In the dining room, she greeted her customers, many of whom became regulars, with the warmth and openness of a host. In the kitchen, she was continually creating new Malaysian dishes with a French influence. In June 2008, she closed Franklin Station Café after 15 years.
After 3 years, she found the ideal space for her new restaurant on the Upper West Side. With its neighborhood flavor full of a variety of artistic people reminiscent of her earlier years in TriBeCa, she felt at home again when she opened Blue Caravan in 2011.
Mei Chau comments on becoming the Owner/Chef of Blue Caravan: “I am delighted to have opened Blue Caravan. I am essentially a self-taught chef with a passion for the multi-cultural dishes of my heritage. Since New York City is a global village, it’s natural for me to embrace the culinary influences from all around the world.”
Mei continues: “I chose the name Blue Caravan for several significant reasons. I have studied flamenco dancing over the years. Since flamenco’s origins are with the gypsies who traveled in caravans, I was inspired by their free spirit. And incidentally my favorite color is blue. It symbolizes nature (ocean, sky) and with it a free and open spirit that has no boundaries. Hence, Blue Caravan.”
She explains: “A restaurant is a place where you serve people. It’s important to create an atmosphere that’s friendly. My customers are like family. I like to think of them as being in my home where I am the host and getting to know them.”

Mei looks forward to hosting private parties, business events, and other special events in the Bar/Lounge and in the Private Party Room (Atrium) at the rear of the restaurant.

Eastern & Oriental Express

easternandorientalexpress

The Eastern & Oriental Express (E & O) has long offered travelers the opportunity to experience the Golden Age of train travel through one of the world’s most beautiful and exotic regions.  This November, Orient-Express is introducing the Chronicles of Southeast Asia — four new journeys that enable guests on the E & O to experience the region in even greater depth.   The new itineraries will take passengers in comfort to places off the beaten track and essentially turn the train into a touring hotel – a window onto the world of Southeast Asia.  To ensure ultimate exclusivity and a more personalized experience, capacity on each trip will be limited to 60 guests and only presidential and state carriages will be in use.  The new routes include:

Epic Thailand (6 nights): Bangkok/Isan/Chiang Mai/Lampang/Bangkok.
This journey visits sites in Northern Thailand — traveling from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and through fascinating, untouched landscapes.  The huge diversity of Thailand is evident: remote settlements on the Isan plains; ancient temples that retain otherworldy beauty and tranquility; the culture-rich city of Chiang Mai and the Khao Yai National Park – home to wild elephants, gibbons, and fabulous birds. Highlights include:

  • A walking tour through a traditional village in Isan
  • A sunset candlelight reception at Prasat Sikoraphum – a restored 12th- century Khmer Temple
  • Lunch with the first female Thai oenologist at Khao Yai Gran Monte Vineyard
  • The opportunity to participate in a Bai Sii (sacred thread) ceremony
  • Touring the town of Lampang "wild-west style" in a traditional pony trap.

Fables of the Hills

(6 nights): Singapore/Kuala Lumpur/Cameron Highlands (overnight)/Penang/Surat Thani/River Kwai/Bangkok.
This tour takes visitors north from Singapore through the beautiful Cameron Highlands to Bangkok and highlights some of the best and most compelling parts of Asia:  the colonial heritage of Malaysia’s mist-shrouded Cameron Highlands, the historic Bridge over the River Kwai and the varied architecture of cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Kangsar and Georgetown on the island of Penang. Highlights include:

  • Kuala Lumpur city tour, including a visit to "The School of Hard Knocks" (for the history and facts of pewter)

  • Dugong trekking
  • Thai cooking classes

Tales of Laos (3 nights): Bangkok/Pimai/Khao Yai/Vientiane/Bangkok.

Vientiane has a delightful old-world air, with traditional markets, golden temples and colonial residences lining leafy boulevards.  Highlights include:

  • Stopping at Phimai to explore the impressive Angkor-style Khmer temples
  • Discovering the vineyards of the scenic Khao Yai hills and sampling the "new" latitude wines cultivated there.

The Queen of Asian Cuisine Reigns at Le Colonial

By Nancy Walman

colonial2

Designed by Greg Jordan, of Greg Jordan, Inc., Le Colonial transports guests to another milieu from a bygone era, to the enchanting tropical Southeast Asia from the 1920s. To re-create the mood and experience of this magnificent time and place in all its splendor, Mr. Jordan says, "I chose to design with unique tiled floors, crudely painted walls and antique mercury panels to keep the interior as simple, yet as elegant as possible."

The ecru walls of the first-floor Dining Room are lined with handsome, louvered shutters. Comfortable, tightly-woven rattan chairs surround amply-spaced tables that provide seating for as many as 95 guests. The 12ft ceilings feature delicate fans to gently cool the room, which is filled with lush, potted palms and graceful banana trees. Nostalgic photographs of life in Saigon during the 1920s cover the walls and lead guests up to a lively second floor Lounge.

Upstairs, there is a large mahogany Bar that serves cocktails for up to 25 guests. Sensual music fills the spacious room. colonial-lounge Guests can sit at the Bar or in the 50-person Lounge, a comfortable, romantic oasis adorned with sofas, Oriental rugs, low tables and antique furnishings.

Enhancing the restaurant’s exquisite ambiance and feel is the exceptional menu of authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Among the Appetizer and Petite Salad choices arecolonial-egg roll Cha Gio, crispy spring rolls with shrimp, pork, crab, shitake mushrooms and nuoc cham dipping sauce; Chao Tom, grilled shrimp mousse wrapped on sugar cane, with angel hair noodles with lettuce wraps and peanut dipping sauce; and Goi Ca, seared rare tuna with black pepper crust, atop a mesclun salad tossed with a spicy soy dressing. A tasting of 5 appetizers is a perfect way to begin. Also sample the crabmeat and avocado martini.

colonial-food6

Signature entrees include Ca Chien Saigon, Vietnamese crisp-seared whole red snapper with a light, spicy and sour; Bo La Lot, grilled lemongrass filet mignon wrapped in la lot leaves served with peanuts and pineapple mesclun salad; Ca Chien Gung, pan seared salmon with ginger crust with basil, leeks and bell peppers, served with lemongrass sauce; and Bo Sate, sautéed filet mignon with sate spice, yams and long beans. STEAMED CHILEAN SEA BASS WRAPPED IN BANANA LEAVES, WITH GLASS NOODLES, ROMA TOMATOES, SHIITAKE & OYSTER MUSHROOMS & GINGER SOY SAUCE is one of the best seafood creations we tasted this year. colonial-fish

colonial-main1

An expertly trained waitstaff assists guests in understanding the truly unique menu, and is always available to offer suggestions on complimenting dishes. There is an excellent mixologist and a good selection of wine and beer, thanks to Beverage Director,  David Merida . Even the desserts, often an afterthought in Asian restaurants, are memorable. I especially liked the green tea, layered crepe-pie. And don’t miss the terrific Vietnamese coffee (like a café filtre with evaporated milk).colonial-dumplingh

Le Colonial is a world class Vietnamese restaurant (and one of our personal favorites of any genre in New York). Thanks to the efforts of executive chef Xuan Pham, dishes are pure, clean,  and traditional with a bow to a healthy, contemporary life style. A former pharmacist (with an MBA as well), her style is unique. New York’s premiere Vietnamese restaurant is a gem and is not to be missed.
