Always gottta try the interesting Chinese, even if it’s a bit fusion.
Here we go.
The tasting menu.
Amuse of caviar and nori.
big eye tuna, beets, blood orange, lanzhou chili. Sweet and tangy.
grilled mackerel, snap peas, green farro, black bean, pistachio.
dungeness crab, asparagus, tofu skin, chicken consommé.
chicken, shrimp and pig trotter dumpling, preserved yuzu, black truffle.
Liberty Farms ‘Peking Style’ Whole Duck. Smoked, but otherwise fairly peking duck like.
The spring pancakes were a bit thick but the peanut hoison was excellent.
Duck foie and some fruity bit. Tasty!
mandarin custard pie, ricotta, walnut, rose geranium.
Sesame balls.
Fun evening and tasty food. A bit too fusion, although quite refined. It didn’t taste “that” Chinese — except for the Peking duck which was the best dish.
