The Big Five O - 2/13/10
A celebration at Michael Mina
Course Two
Hoa and Kevin selected Brandt Farm Beef-Bone Marrow
Closer look of the trio below:
|
Braised short rib "Bourguignon, Russet Potato Gnocchi. Hoa thought this dish was good but not great. I do make this dish quite often because it is a classic and here it did not have the Wow effect. |
Dry Aged Rib eye, Celeriac Puree, Bone Marrow Flan The meat was perfectly cooked! The bone Marrow Flan was good but too rich! |
Filet Mignon, Brussels sprouts, Black Trumpet Mushrooms. The meat was amazingly tender and the sauce was excellent. |
I choose the Fatty Pigs -Mangalitsa, and Kurobuta.
Mangalitsa, is breed of pig grown especially in Hungary and the Balkans known also as a curly-hair hog.
Kurobuta is rare breed of pig originating from Britain
Close look at the trio below:
 Tenderloin, Schnitzel (thinly pounded pork cutlets from Germany), Spatzle (type of egg noodle of soft texture found in the cuisine of Germany) The tenderloin was so good and tender! |
Short Rib, Braised cabbage, Poached Quince. Also very good! |
Braised shoulder, potato rosti, Apple mustard. This is the only dish that I did not care about. The shredded pork was just okay and a bit on the salty side. |
We had just finished course two and now we are waiting for our coffee and desserts.
