Sorry for the lag in blog posts, I'm currently in Cinci-tucky visiting family. Thought I'd post some belated pictures of one of the highlights of my NYC trip last month--dinner at
Perilla. I had a wonderful time with my hosts as we sampled the delicious seven course tasting menu.
I missed the first two dishes because we were too busy raving over them (
both seafood dishes). Then came:
Sweetbreads (even if you fry them, they're still sweetbreads)
My favorite dish: fresh ravioli in brocolli cream sauce with shaved truffles.
I LOVE truffles and have never had such large pieces of them before--heaven!
(sorry this didn't photograph well, but look at the size of the shaved truffles!)
Duck breast with pate (this was so rich and decadent)
Served along with a duck meatball for some duck overload goodness!
At this point, our palatte cleanser, which was a refreshing sherbert with lemon curd
could have been our dessert and I would have been perfectly happy
But of course, dessert was presented and we enjoyed a minature version of
Perilla's famous chocolate souffle along with coffee cream and a freshly baked hazelnut biscotti
Delicious food and wonderful company made for a memorable evening. Thank you Tara and Chad!
