Wow. Chef Chanthy Yen prepared a work of art. Between visually stunning presentation and innovative preparations, the protege of Ferran Adria at elBulli shows his chops. Starting with gaotze filled with kimchee was subtle. Squash soup with roasted pumpkin seeds followed with rich and complex flavors. Sturgeon in Cambodian curry was satifying. The dessert of foie gras icecream was a visually stunning. It looked like it belonged in MOMA. My wife's vegan main course of roasted persimmon presented a symphony of flavors whiched played in sequence over my palate.
Chef Yen has arrived.
