The Mouse bought a jar of locally harvested honey with cacao nibs.
Jar
The Mouse tried the honey on a toasted frozen waffle.
Waffle, Devonshire Cream, Honey with Cacao Nibs
The Mouse mistakenly thought the cacao nibs would be chocolate-ty. The nibs were kinda crunchy, and in The Mouse’s opinion, not in a pleasant way. Also, the nibs were a little too bitter in taste, again, The Mouse’s opinion. Not flat out objectionable, but try once is enough. ๐
p.s. The Mouse also picked up a jar of honey with rum, hopefully it is better, will let you know.
The Mouse is not familiar with this type of mooncake (flaky, savory), The Mouse is more familiar with the denser and sweeter Cantonese variety. The Cat said these are from a different area/region (The Mouse forgot where).
The mooncake needed to be warmed, non-oiled non-stick pan, low-medium heat, fifteen minutes.
Inside
Spiced ground meat (pork?), and The Mouse doesn’t know what else. Pretty tasty. Mmm. ๐
The Cat and The Mouse love chef’s choice dinners, especially when it is Chef H. We hope Chef H likes to do them too. Hopefully it lets him get a little creative and off menu. Dinner was last weekend with The Cat’s classmate.
Calf Liver “Dumpling”
In chicken broth. Chef asked us earlier if we eat calf liver, we replied yes. He made this dish, he said he didn’t want to overwhelm us. The Mouse could’ve eaten a whole bowl of this. Throw in some greens, some French bread, saimin, or rice and call it the meal. The Mouse would’ve been thoroughly happy and full. Hee hee. The Mouse wants to wrap the mixture in wonton wrappers and make wonton noodles. Mmm. Just a thought. ๐
Caesar Salad
Topped with extra anchovies. Mmm again.
Mussels
Everyone had a herb cream sauce, The Mouse got a tomato sauce. Both were so tasty, the bowls almost didn’t have to go through the dishwasher. Just kidding. Hee hee.
Salmon Course
The Mouse forgot the whole description (there was asparagus, noodles, tomato, and black truffle) but remembers it was soooo gooood. The Cat’s classmate never tried truffle before so The Mouse gave her his, there will be other dishes in the future. Right, Chef H? Hee hee.
Pork Chop with Foie Gras
With some kinda fruit sauce. Delicious. The Mouse hopes Chef H is having as much satisfaction creating these dishes as we are enjoying/scarfing them. ๐
Cherries Jubilee
Tableside, with flames/flambรฉ and all. The Cat’s schoolmate was impressed.
