Gotta jack up the star power after my second visit here. A night at Yours Truly really is as good as it gets. I attended a UYE (Unofficial Yelp Event) helmed by yelper Susan G and it was a heckuva night. Great drinks, amazing convivial atmosphere and unforgettable eats.
We ended up getting two of almost everything on the sharing menu (avoiding the higher priced items). These dishes come three to four items on a plate and were between $5 to $7 each. Highlights for me:
Pork Ssam - The extra S is for "sofreakinggood". These are lettuce wraps of charred pork belly and crispy onion. As a Hater of Lettuce, it's rare to hear me rave about anything related to the Green Devil.
Salt Cod Inari - Served with creamy wasabi sauce. More sweet than salty, it was an interesting mix of flavours.
Pork Adobo Tacos - just order these.
Bread with whipped duck fat - I shouldn't have to explain this further.
There were other great options too (actually there wasn't anything I ate that I didn't like) but these were the standouts for me. I also tried two more cocktails on this visit. The Winter Batida is a nice and light gin-based beverage served with a slice of dragonfruit. The Crimson Flip was the ultimate winter drink. Sherry and frangelico heavy with cream, cloves and egg. I had two of these before I started to pass out, sated and happy.
So much fun. And confidential to the servers: I shall return, candy in hand.
