I came to Twist for my birthday dinner and It was such a great food tasting adventure. We ordered 6 course tasting menu, Pacific Lingcod, and couple appetizers (Oysters & Langoustine and Hudson Valley Foie Gras). I am not going to talk about details of each dish. I am just gonna share highlights of my dinner. Both appetizers we ordered were superb.
My foie gras appetizer came in 2 different forms/ways with apple ice cream.
Savory way: Poached foie Gras with Morteau Sausage
I usually like my foie gras to go with something sweet. But I enjoyed this dish very much. It was such wonderful combination!
Sweet way: Glenmorangie Glazed Duck foie Gras Terrine with ginger bread powders and hazelnuts
Olala... Yum Yum Yum! There is no other word to describe this dish! The second I put it in my mouth, it melted. Then all the flavors and aromas of foie gras and hazelnut just went together. Two thumbs up!
Apple ice cream was very refreshing after eating so much fatty foie gras.
Oysters & Langoustine:
Kumamoto Oysters were such a beauty. They were big, juicy and sweet. Nom!
Fanny Bay Oyster nage, Clams and leek was more like a soup to me. It was a very elegant dish.
Honestly, I enjoyed the appetizers I ordered more than the tasting menu dishes. I also felt 6 course menu was a bit too much for me. On my next visit, I would probably order appetizers only and skip entrees. I can't wait to come back soon and carry on this tasting adventure!!
