| - Sens is, well, SENSational!
I love tapas style of eating. And unlike yogurt and cupcakes, tapas, I think, is here to stay! Sharing food with friends is perhaps one of my all time favorite things to do. Some people like camping. Some people like How I Met My Mother. Others scrap booking. My gig? Friends. Food. Sharing.
So we gathered here yesterday after enjoying fantastic cocktails and my favorite nachos at Bliss to have some serious food. I shared my two favorite things here, the SOUP DUMPLINGS...omg...omg...pounding fists on table...total mouthgasm. You know when you get the squirt of gooey cheese from the middle of pasta shell in your fave mac n cheese? This is so similar. Hot, salty broth exploding as you bite into tender pork and savory cabbage. Pure heaven! Really, who doesn't like things exploding in your mouth?
My other love is the White Ginger fish, whitefish steamed with a soy ginger sauce. And I loves me some ginger. Even on Gilligan's Island, I was a Ginger man, not a Mary Ann. I mean really, pigtails?! Tender, mild and absolutely off the charts with some very enjoyable flavors.
Miss for me on this visit were the Korean short ribs...ugh...flavor was there...just couldn't chew the damn things. Also on the dry side and simply just very pedestrian was the Wasabi Soy Chicken.
But, with the fabulous company I had and the Asahi beer and the chilled sake, it still measured up to a four star evening. Service was great as well. Patient, good-natured waiter, took care of eight buzzed and chatty diners!
So Sens...you get me. With your tapas style menu. Your downtown vibe. Chilled sake.
And. The. Soup. Dumplings.
SENSational indeed!
