cake! merry christmas.

25 Dec

i ordered two cakes from Awfully Chocolate for a family christmas dinner..

and it was a huge hit. de.li.cious. !!!!

b+w box. decor- clean + simple. no frills, no flowers, no fuss. iced with chocolate.

heres a picture of the chocolate banana. YUM.

it was rich, dense, and moist, but not too sweet. the banana was fresh and sweet, did not taste artificial or flavored.

i could have killed half the cake myself. easily. i wanted to.

merry christmas!!!

xmas eve at forchetta.

25 Dec

xmas eve pre fixe dinner @ forchetta.

cherry tomato mozarella, toast with pate.

salad, abalone, baby octopus, scallop.

truffle soup with a really soft poached egg + tuffle oil.. and i think monkfish liver.. this was my favorite dish of the meal.

prawn, with curried gnocchi and bamboo.

a palette cleanser of floral ice with foam.. for some reason i tasted egg white. did not particularly enjoy.. i like it better when he sticks with yuzu.

my entree choice of new zealand beef rib. tender + juicy. the mushrooms and sticky taro on the plate did not particularly complement the meat…

chocolate lava cake with raspberry puree. cute reindeer.

i have to say the flavors were all over the place this meal, and not necessarily harmonious..  i usually really enjoy forchetta, so this was a first.
