was that polenta fried or something? i had polenta fries at a pizzeria in sacramento and they were REALLY good. i gotta say, if i'm going to eat polenta, i think i prefer it nice and crispy like that.

that cottage pie looks good. just looked at their menu, too bad they don't make chicken pie. that's my favorite.

i don't take pics of my food that often when i'm eating out, but this was pretty good -
the slanted door, san francisco.
coconut tapioca, caramelized pineapple and spicy cashews. spiced sugar beignets with mascarpone sabayon. and you might recognize... ca phe sua da.

The polenta was either deep or pan fried, I imagine pan. I'm not a big fan of polenta in general but it was pretty good with the jus from the lamb.

A bunch of the pics here i've posted in the "what's for dinner" thread, but I wanted to collect them all in one place. heh

You live in Hawaii right, Fisch?

I am pretty sure that I mentioned it here before, but I visited Hawaii a few years ago, and aside from getting sunburned, lol, and visiting Pearl Harbor and Diamond Head, I spent most of my time stuffing myself silly. So much good food on those islands and those pictures that you are posting are reminding me of it!

OMG! I used to have breakfast at this hotel (not the hotel that I was staying in) that had an all you can eat breakfast deal. They had the best Pineapple that I have ever had.

can your family adopt me? i love hawaii. i love the food, but i also love the beach. i could lay out on the sand all day. my favorite was lanai in the middle of october. no one's there and we had the whole beach to ourselves. they just renovated their fancy pants hotel though so maybe it's busier now... but seriously, i'd go there every year, too, if i could.

is that foam on your poke? the omakase dessert looks like female parts... :eyebrows:

i saw morimoto on top chef and it made me think of you! he was there to have one of the cheftestants make him a last supper that reminded him of the food his mom would cook him after a long day of playing baseball as a child. so whimsical, ha! unfortunately, the cheftestant failed. it did not look like any simple japanese family supper i have ever seen.

Yeah that was a Dashi foam dressing. I don't know where I stand on the whole foam movement in haute cuisine nowadays. I'll need to sample more of it.

The dessert was a mix of sorbet, ice cream and purple sweet potato.

 

[lunchbox]

ya, i think it's just the presentation of the purple sweet potato. lol.

i don't think i'm a fan of the concept of foam, but i can't remember if i've really tried it so i guess i could change my mind. i think it just seems superlfuous in most instances, but i suppose it could really work the subtle angle that chefs like morimoto are going for.

I could say something rude but I'll stay on the highroad...lol.

Foam does add a nice hit of flavor without the heaviness of a sauce which is nice.

i are hungry now!!!

how was that lobster mac n cheese? my parents-in-law had something like that somewhere else in SD (north county) and they said it wasn't that great. they said the lobster kind of got lost in the b?chamel and cheese of the dish. yours looks to have more significant pieces of lobster though and they're retired so their idea of dining out at a "nice place" isn't the same as ours...
