Dinner with one of The Cat’s mentors, Michel’s again (not complaining, jus’ stating a fact). Menu selection in Chef Hardy’s hands.
Not sure if this was an appetizer or an amuse bouche, semantics.
If chef just served this (of course a bigger portion), and a bowl of rice, The Mouse could’ve been very happy, that good. Hee hee
From Kualoa Ranch, super fresh and tasty. Chef supplied 18 oysters for five people, generous for a tasting menu, IMHO.
Beef Consommé with Local Mushrooms & Reggiano Cheese; Baked under a Golden Puff Pastry Crust. Slurp.
🙂
I wasn’t going to take a picture (hence the half eaten shot). But for completeness …
See that pinkish blob? That’s a truffle shaving. First time for The Mouse. Mmm.

Tableside fireworks.
Main course.
Big nom! Socks off.
Milk chocolate with some kinda crunchy bit inside. Not sure if made by Chef Hardy’s kitchen. Good tho.
Original chef’s choice was bananas Foster, The Mouse asked the server if could change up to cherries jubilee (to complement the heaviness of the steak diane).
Fresh Bing Cherries Infused in Cognac & Amareto; Served with Vanilla Gelato & Chocolate Shavings.
Perfect finish.
As always at Michel’s and Chef Hardy.
🙂
Enjoy. Eat well.
