Out of town family wanted an interesting lunch....downtown, no less! Nobuo has been on my wanna do list for awhile. We arrived on a quiet Tuesday and had the undivided attention of our waiter. He recommended a starter. I can only describe it. The presentation was 4 spoons with artfully arranged food on them. The waiter said, "Eat it in one bite." The experience was quite unusual. Various delicious flavors developed in my mouth as I realized my bite had liquified. Then on to my softshell crab sandwich. It also was close to perfect. The sauce made it rise above. I wouldn't call it spicy, or smoky ...just incredible. I didn't believe I had room for dessert, but 1 dessert and 3 spoons was doable. The choice was pumpkin flan with 5 spice ice cream. I tasted the flan. It was good. But then I tasted the flan with the ice cream on top. Again, all the flavors orchestrated a food experience in my mouth. The sum was better than the parts! Our lunch was so much more than we could have expected. What a great experience. Now Nobuo at Teeter House is on my must return list!
