Christmas Day Eats

“Breakfast” was just “coffee” for The Mouse.

Then, off to church.

Lunch, a take-out from nearby Zippy’s.

Chili Frank Plate Lunch

Vegetarian chili because of the corn and mushrooms.

Dinner, prix fixe at Umi by Vikram Garg.

Menu
Ahi Tartare

Apologies, the blurry photo, The Mouse got excited, hungry. 🙂

Pani puri, bonito shavings, wasabi tobiko. The pani puri was good crunchy support for the ahi tartare. Quantity was more than generous.

Lobster Bisque

Chef made The Mouse a salad instead (dairy issue).

Grilled Romaine with Squid Ink Tuile

Nom. The Mouse did not miss the bisque at all. 🙂

Scallop, Wild Mushroom Risotto

The Mouse’s bowl was dairy-free.

Branzino and Shrimp Balchao

Server warned dish was spicy. The Cat didn’t mind. Too spicy for The Mouse.

Wagyu Beef Cheek

Okra tempura, ‘ulu mousseline. Great braise, The Mouse thinks chef likes to cook beef cheeks. Good job. 🙂

Gingerbread Creme Brulee

The Mouse got a bowl of mango sorbet.

Mango Sorbet

Those that celebrate, hope your Christmas was full and merry. 🙂

Be well, eat well.

The Mouse.
