Happy birthday to me. Went to Luthun on a recommendation I found on Reddit. What a wonderful place. I had zero expectations and was blown away. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
Course 1 – Fushka (the ball). Soup of carrot, peanut butter, seabuckthorn, & coriander.
Course 2 – Striped bass. Vanilla aquachile. Persimmon. Sake gel.
Course 3 – French onion ring. Dry aged beef. Caviar Demi glacé.
Course 4 – Tortelini with veal & crab. Brown butter. Nuoc Cham. (This broth is insanely good.)
Course 5 – Trout. Foie gras cream. Buddha’s hand. Oregano.
Course 6 – Crispy snapper. Red curry. Coconut, white chocolate sauce. Passion fruits. (This sauce was also fantastic.)
Course 7 – Aged duck breast. Pastrami beets (wow). Jeow Sam. Salt baked turnip.
Course 8 – Sake. Wasabi. Koshihikari rice cream. (The wasabi was the sneaky trick.)
Course 9 – Brown butter panna cotta. Citrus snow. Cappuccino.
