it’s a happy sunny vacationy thursday, so of course, annie and i seized the opportunity to have a leisurely 7 course lunch at the nearby culinary student run restaurant. i had about 6 glasses of iced tea… which was good, i guess, since it cost about $3. it’s the asian in me. gotta get my money’s worth!
this tasting menu was okay… although not as impressive as the last one that i had. dessert was dissapointing, as was the cheese plate (which, btw, was so bad i couldn’t swallow it). the dessert mangoish-cilantro soup was reminiscent of shampoo with a hint of sugar.
the carica (mysterious new fruit) was the highlight of the lunch– so good! i will find this fruit again…somehow… the granita was refreshing, and the ice tea, oh, the iced tea… quite good.
afterwards, annie swapped her phone down in old town, and is now happily chatting with tech support so that she can once again send pictures from her phone. good times.
1. tasting menu, 2. mmm. bread., 3. amuse bouche, 4. duck liver and orange-onion marmalade toasts, 5. butter poached spot prawns, 6. granita, 7. grilled onaga with pommes puree, 8. pan roasted duck breast, 9. roquefort grossness, 10. mango margarita
