the chino chilango supper on sunday was fantastico! we had a chance to meet some great people and enjoy some amazing food! the meal was inspired by the trip brian and I took to mexico city and it was all done with a twist of chinese to it for an extra excitement factor! we feel that it is a supper that would definitely have made the motherland proud! here is the low down on the courses:
1). shiitake mushroom quesadillas : shiitake mushrooms + chihuahua cheese + habanero salsa
2). strawberry gazpacho: chinese 5 spiced bay scallops + chinese pear + jalapeno
3). forbidden rice salad: mango + peanut + cilantro + lime + chinese black rice
4). pollo mole: chilango mole + water lilies + queso fresco
5). tapioca pulque: coconut + lemongrass + papaya + pulque
this meal was a great experience in the fact that we got to relive one of the best trips we have taken together and we got to let others experience it along with us. let's brace ourselves for the june supper which is going to be all about welcoming summer! the date will be announced in the next week so stay tuned!
adios and abrazos,
mikey + brian ( a.k.a. the boys of yo soy!)
