Yummy Tummy

Yesterday, I took Saurabh out for his birthday lunch to Black Salt Restaurant and Market, otherwise known by us as Yummy Tummy. They have a limited menu. There are about 10 appetizers, 4-5 sandwiches and 4 entrées. However, they have another option, the reason I wanted to take him here. You can go to the market, pick a fish and then the chef does whatever he thinks best to do with the fish you picked.

I ordered a Mai Tai and Saurabh got a Lemon Drop. We both liked our own drinks and didn't like the other's. That worked out quite well. The bread plate here has corn bread! Yum!!! For our appetizer we ordered Addie's Mussels - steamed with garlic, shallot tomato lemon, it was served in a soup to us. They split the appetizer so we each had our own plate of the mussels, about 10 each. This dish was simply incredible. As Saurabh said, "one of the best appetizers I have ever had". I am not a huge fan of mussels and I thoroughly enjoyed it, to the point where I would crave for it in the future. After relishing the mussels we went to the Market to pick our fish. We picked the Wahoo 'ono' (like Mahi Mahi) and the Sockeye Salmon (It is a deeper red compared to regular salmon). Unfortunately, I don't remember the preparations the chef made, but they were absolutely delicious! I enjoyed the Wahoo more than the Salmon, and Saurabh the other way around. But, both were fantastic! And I'd order either again! :)

Finally, for dessert we got the Butterscotch Pot de Crème. Again excellent! This is how the menu describes it: Milk Chocolate, Almond Brittle, Scotched Milkshake, Butter Shortbread. The server remembered to give us 2 little shortbreads since we were sharing the dessert :)
