To celebrate our engagement anniversary, I created a special degustation dinner menu featuring many of Melody’s favorites as well as a few new dishes, with an emphasis on East and Southeast Asian cuisine. Rather than describing each dish, I will just list the 10-course menu with photo links:
Cold Buckwheat Soba in Tsuyu with Cilantro and Furikake Flakes
Pan-Seared Sea Scallops with Sesame and Ginger-Scallion Vinaigrette
Lemongrass and Garlic Pork Shoulder Summer Roll with
Rice Vermicelli and Cucumbers wrapped in Bánh Tráng Rice Paper
Creamy Mushroom Soup with Shitake and Wood Ear
Mushrooms, Sherry, and White Truffle Oil
Soybean Trio – Bean Curd Skin Sausage wrapped in Nori Seaweed, Silken Tofu
with Green Onion Oil and Honey Soy Sauce, and Chilled Sweetened Soy Milk
Rice Flour Crêpe Roll with Cha Lua Pork Sausage, Green Onion Oil,
Fried Red Onions, and Lemon-Anchovy Vinaigrette
Home-style Napa Cabbage Stew with
Garlic Minced Pork on Thai Jasmine Rice
Bún Riêu – Shrimp and Crab infused Minced Pork Broth with
Vine Tomatoes and Onions with Vietnamese Rice Vermicelli
Chilled Red Papaya Soup with Apricot Seeds,
White Fungus, and Rock Sugar
French Wheat Toast Duo with Honey Ginseng and
Fresh Strawberies in Amaretto Liqueur a la Mode










My most memorable meal ever (even better than L'Espalier, Zaika, Toque and Au Pied Du Cochon). I love you! :*
