Nobu ~

One of my friends was leaving NYC for good, as a farewell lunch, we headed to the famed Nobu restaurant.



We ordered the lunch bento set with its 'best hits'.

Tuna Tataki Salad & Sushi
Vegetable Spicy Garlic
Black Cod with Miso
Rock Shrimp Tempura with Creamy Spicy Sauce


The black cod came highly recommended, tender & sweet. It was good but a bit too sweet for me. I liked the shrimp & the tart Tuna Tataki salad.

Slightly apprehensive in the beginning, the fears disappeared when the food appeared. I wished i had bitten the bullet & just went for the slightly more expensive lunch set -l- If you are paying, might as well pay for the best. Sighs.

Despite feeling rather full from the lunch, i insisted on dessert. Lo & behold, dessert was even better than lunch.

Suntory Whisky Iced Cappuccino

Huh?

Yes, it wasn't a drink but a dessert made up of Coffee cream, coffee-cocoa crumble, milk gelato, Suntory whisky foam. Cleverly made to look like a cup of coffee. Ingenious !




The quality of the food at Nobu was excellent & rightly so given its prices, but i would drop everything just to have dessert there again.
