The others had fun trying different local craft beers.
Here’s what we had.
Cypress- and oak-smoked Baby Back Ribs brined in dashi, glazed in a black fermented BBQ sauce, topped with fresh shiso leaves. On the side: crispy lotus root chips protruding from a red fermented bean curd peanut purée. Chips tasted a bit funky- (maybe oil not too fresh).
Originally wanted to order the Smoked Skirt Steak, which was unfortunately sold out.
Shiitake, shimeji, and eringi mushrooms, deeply charred then glazed with a slightly spicy, savory salted egg emulsion. Served with focaccia.
Crunchy Wonton and Spring Roll skin served with sweet and sour dip with a fermented water chestnut tang; sesame-fermented lemon curd and vinegar chimichurri.
Mini Sliders Trio: each a smoky bomb of flavor served in buttery mini brioche buns:
-tender Smoked Beef steak with fresh tomato and shiso
- Rich Pulled Pork with Chinese cucumber and fermented raw cabbage
- Pulled bincho-charred mushrooms with fermented bean mayo
Twice fried Fries made from Potatoes developed by Pierre Kohman, a 3-star Michelin French legend- Crispy outside, fluffy inside served with housemade XO mayo on the side :
-rich and grainy Salted Egg Yolk & smoked Cheese
-Typhoon Shelter style tossed in Chaozhou chili oil, loaded with shreds of sweet Japanese snow crab meat.
Unfortunately they didn’t do dessert- so we went for the next best thing- Death by Chocolate Stout, with notes of vanilla, dark chocolate, and cake batter; rich and velvety. Altho I wouldn’t go so far as to say it was the molten chocolate cake that you could sip, I would say that it was the perfect finish for our nite.
In summary: an HH/dinner hangout that aims for impact; bold, unapologetic fusion of East and West that will blow your mind and your taste buds.
