Dumping the kids with Grandma, we got half dolled up for our Frasca Experience!
Upon arrival, we were seated promptly seated by our very professional yet NOT snooty servers and then the feast begins! We started with the proscuitto plate which was fantastic. Then Alan went on with our usual restaurant competition where we compete to see who ordered the better dish and here are the scores.
1st course Guiney Hen 2 ways with Polenta (Alan)
Cure King Salmon (Siew Gin)
The Guiney Hen was flavorful and went perfectly with the creamy polenta. My king salmon was a little salty but was interesting. So, 1 for Alan.
2nd course Chanterelle Mushrom with Creamy Gnocchi (Alan)
Pasta with Spicy Sausage with rapini (Siew Gin)
The was a clear win for Alan because his Gnocchi was creamy and light and the mushroom was a perfect complement to the dish. Mine.. was ehhh... So, 2 for Alan, zero for me still.
3rd course Some sort of Australian Lamb (Alan)
Poached salmon with salmon roe (Siew Gin)
The lamb was perfectly cooked(as it wasn't well done for once) and even though my salmon was the best poached salmon i've ever had, i had to give up my last vote to Alan's awesome lamb.
4th course House chocolates
Apple turnovers
I was too full by this point to eat anymore so, Alan had his chocolates and i took my apple turnovers home. But according to Alan, they were both OK.
So, Alan practically had a clean sweep this time around and i vow to pick better courses next time!
Anyways, it was a great treat for Alan and I to go out and do one of our favorite things and we hope to get another one while Evelyn is still around.
