New Year Lunch

No Chinese food, restaurants too crowded. The Cat and The Mouse decided on Rigo restaurant, Spanish and Italian cuisine, Japanese chef. Lunch specials, includes small salad.

Salad

This is The Cat’s dish, server was kind enough to leave cheese off of The Mouse’s. 🙂

Pork Belly “Taco”

Turnip instead of tortilla. Mmm.

Clam. Asparagus & Tomato Caldoso

Spanish style soup risotto. Think “ojiya” or “jook”. The Cat’s order. Good choice, she is getting over a cold.

The Mouse forgot to take a pic of his shoyu-butter spaghetti. No worries, think white rabbit in snow storm. Tasty though. 🙂

No non-dairy desserts, The Cat ordered chocolate cassata.

Chocolate Cassata

May the year of the rabbit be of smooth roads, clear skies, and calm waters.

Be safe, eat good.

Christmas Dinner

Location was first restaurant that had a reservation opening. Try try. The Mouse studied the menu beforehand, but alas, the best laid plans … restaurant menu was special Christmas prix fixe menu. Okay, rolling with it.

Location

“Instant Bacon”

Braised pork belly, deep fried, “instant” smoked, soy glazed, served with tempura oyster. For the Cat and The Mouse, meal could have ended here. Eight paws up.

Herb-Roasted Jidori Chicken

Not bad, okay. If The Mouse had a choice, he would have a double order of pork belly. Hee hee. The turnip and the won ton were good. 🙂

Mac-Crusted Mahi Mahi

Again, not bad, okay. The Cat agreed about the double order of pork belly.

Chocolate Cake

The cherries was a nice touch. Okay, next time, double order “instant” bacon and chocolate cake.

Be safe, eat good.
