visiting a chef

Just a quick note to let you know what I had for dinner last night at my friend's restaurant. Um, yes, we had leftovers for breakfast.

Appetizers:
Hoison glazed ribs
Asian Caesar Salad (Crisp hearts of romaine tossed in an Asian Caesar dressing, standing in a kaffir seasoned crouton finished with sweet grape tomatoes and chilled sriracha seasoned shrimp.)

Entrees:
Cottonwood Peking Duck (Hoisin glazed duck, twice roasted, served with sesame coriander bok choy, vegetable fried rice and finished with a Peking sauce)
Shichimi Ahi Tuna (chili, orange and black sesame spiced yellowfin tuna steak, pan seared and served rare upon a vegetable Pad Thai lo mein)
Cambodian Hot Pot (shrimp, sea scallops, baby clams and crisp Asian vegetables, simmered in a spicy coconut shrimp broth and tossed with rice noodles)

Desserts:
Chocolat Pyramid (Dark chocolate torte, coated with a Callebaut chocolate ganache and finished with house-made caramel sauce, chocolate mousse and raspberry infusion)
Ginger Creme Brulee (Traditional créme brulee with a hint of ginger served with a chocolate shortbread cookie)

Wine:

2005 Magness Cabernet Sauvignon

Seriously one of the best meals I have ever had. Ever. And I have been here for five days and we have eaten at his other retaurants the other nights. Bliss. I will post more about it with pics on dig this chick when I get home (still have one more meal tonight).
