chicken in black bean sauce at amazing 66
oh yeah. crispy skin and a fresh, flavorful, un-goopy black bean sauce.
Amazing 66
Yes, it is amazing. We've been here a couple of times, on our own for quick dinner, and with friends for more of a feast, and we love it. Can't wait to go back. I'd just get a beer and the black bean chicken any time. Oh, and the pastrami shrimp fried rice!!
Momofuku Ssam : Bo Ssam
We finally got enough meat -eating friends together to get the bo ssam at Momofuku. It was a great experience, really fun and festive, and the bo itself was delectable. We grabbed hanks of tender meat with tongs and nestled it into a spoonful of rice in a lettuce leaf, added an oyster and a drizzle of garlic-scallion sauce, or one of the two kinds of kimchi, or the korean bbq sauce. We had eight people, and although we were enthusiastic and dedicated, we couldn't quite finish the monstrous pork butt.
scarpetta : sicilian spiced duck
delicious and perfectly cooked, over a bed of carrots, turnips and onions - with meltingly stewed orange peel and warm spices.
scarpetta : perfect spaghetti
"just" spaghetti in tomato basil sauce. executed so perfectly that it is elevated to the sublime. handmade noodles, perfectly cooked, in a rich, fragrant sauce.
