purple mountains


"purple mountains"

latte, anise seed, black sesame, yogurt
Over the past year we have received many questions about the restaurant and its food. We are going to start doing some video demonstrations but we thought it would be much more interesting doing things that you want to know about. As of today we will start fielding questions and every two weeks or so we will pick a few to demo.

tea smoked loup de mer
sweet shrimp consommé, water chestnut,
“bird’s nest,” lime

This dish is based around the flavors of China... the idea is to create a very light version of Chinese food. The fish is pickled for 10 minutes, lightly tea smoked then finished in the cvap. We really enjoy the texture of the gelatinous skin.
