Mmm...mmm...mmm... Yummy :DOn Saturday, July 11th at Michael Mina SF, Westin St.Francis Hotel was an unforgetable time for me because it was a first time tasting for me of sashimi and caviar. I think that it has a very interesting taste to everything I eat tonight.
The appetizer started with 3 sides, tuna on the top of the plate then the American Sturgeon Caviar and next is a "corn dog" with shrimp instead. This was delicious, first time having sturgeon caviar and it was a blast. Well, actually everything on this plate was my first time. Never eaten anything raw or caviar. But I have to say that now I have tried something new. But before starting with that, start with a drink... That should start the meal... :D Besides this plate, Michael Mina has a lot of his specialities to celebrate his restaurants 5th anniversary. There are of course plenty of other foods and specialities in the restaurant, but these are the ones that I tasted. The next course is south africa lobster tail. It was small but the tasting was great pairing with the sauce. The third course is figs with scallops topped with foie gras. This is absolutely a mouth-watering tasting I have ever tasted. Well, its my first time eating foie gras and it just melted in your mouth. I think it was a good pairing with the rest of the course. The fourth is chicken with house-made mac and cheese. The fifth is the medium rare beef that is good with good sauce pairings. Also a tasting that melted in your mouth. I would have to say even if you have went to the dentist that morning and is having this dinner that same night, I think it is no biggy, because the food is so soft and easy to chew that if your teeth hurts from the every 6 months dental cleaning, it is still worth it. :D Well at least for me... hehehe.. :D Then finished off with a great pairing of dessert starting with Michael Mina's root-beer float and warm chocolate chip cookies, then the raspberry tart-like, and lastly an orange-sorbet. Afterwards, you can chat and sip your coffee with your friends/ or family and just chill a bit before heading out to see the rest of the beautiful hotel and take pictures. Oh and if you are lucky enough, you can even see the executive chef; Michael Mina, and maybe take a picture with him too. :D Well, that was my night with my family. I guess it was a great family gathering and it was worth being together and just talk. :D Maybe you can have the same, just sit down with your family and have fun it is great. I am telling you, you will not regret it. And plus you get great food too. :D And get to see what is out there... Overlooking the world. :D Well, I think this is it for now. See you next time with more good food and restaurants. :D Until then, have a great time!
Take Care,
Harriet
