Give me some ideas to put in my mouth
Some of mine so far:
Kinjiro uni risotto
Cherry trout and uni at mori
Gjusta gprime rib
Howlin rays chicken sandwich
Dumplings at luscious dumpling
Key lime pie at fishing with dynamite
Kampachi and foie gras chawanmushi at raku
Bestia bone marrow
Huckleberry doughnut at sidecar
Sounds like an end-of-the-year list. In May.
Great bites!
Agreed looks great. I’ll have to try that for dessert.
It is not a desert but an appetizer 
Savory with some sweetness. Together with the grilled stuffed squids, they were my favorites. Great Spanish wine selection as well.
My favorite item at Raku…soy glazed foie gras
How did I miss this item in all my visits to Raku?! I must try it next time… Thanks. 
I dunno. I kinda like a rolling tally. Usually by the end of the year I forget things. Or am too busy with the holidays and recovery to go out. Or even worse have someone rave about a seasonal dish that may or may not ever appear.
We are into serious food porn here…wow! That uni risotto looks unbelievable.
I mean how do you even cook that bacon to make it turn out so perfectly
Broiler?
“Musang King” durian
Hot Butter & Salt Donut at Sidecar Donuts Santa Monica, simple yet maybe the best donut I’ve ever had…
A quick rundown of some super memorable bites when I was down in your fine city last week:
Tempura Endo’s abalone tempura with some butter on top, self drizzled a little soy sauce on top. Heavenly
Connie & Ted’s: Coromandel New Zealand oysters (they didn’t have East Coast Belons unfortunately at the time of visit), the pairing with sake was excellent
Fried shiro ebi at Mori Sushi (the YOLOmakase platter)
Yazawa Yaki (kind of like a Kansai style sukiyaki, thinly sliced pristine piece of marbled wagyu grilled, rolled up, then you dip it in their special egg sauce and savor). Then you save that egg sauce and pour it on top of their curry rice with fried egg on top…
And of course, the signature bone marrow dengaku at Kinjiro
Last but not least, the cabeza taco from Leo’s truck
Come back often and teach more about sake, and other esoteric Japanese lore!
Was it on the sweet side, or what was it like? Thanks.
