Nakiba Lunch Date Menu for Mercury & Yang
Nov. 19th, 2017 01:06 pmDrink
Kir Fusion and a Virgin Kir Fushion (Champagne with black currant juice pearls at the bottom topped with a pomegranate and blueberry foam. It's a modification on a kir, and made so that Mercury's can contain lemon-lime soda instead of champagne but it still looks like they're sharing the same drink. Yang's has actual champagne.)
Appetizer
Oysters. Freshly-shucked oysters served with specially prepared marinated red and green seaweed strips and mignonette sauce pearls. A surprise note of lemon hits at the last moment from a powder tucked beneath the fresh oysters for a last-moment refreshing boost of flavor just as the oysters themselves become a little rich to entice the appetite for more.
Entree
Deconstructed Doner Kebab Chicken. Carefully cooked doner kebab made with a special dry marinade of cumin, peppercorn, garlic, coriander, paprika, white pepper, cinnamon. Though the chicken alone would be a wonderful treat, the yellow sauce is a special surprise thai yellow curry made with a coconut milk base and spices that don't present at first. The first bite will be light, but as it compounds and interacts with other citrus notes within the salad atop the chicken, the heat only seems to increase over time. This is because of a very small percentage of Carolina Reapers used in the curry recipe instead of the usual peppers. Carolina Reapers are the hottest pepper in the world, but do not have an immediate effect. As they grow in amount and interact with other notes, they build heat until you're panting and hot in the face, possibly sweaty as the heat builds in your body. Because it's such a small amount, it won't get to unbearable amounts and will only ever act as an accentuation of the other flavors in the dish, most notably the toasted pistachios and mace and cardamom dressing that lightly coats the topping julienned greens and saffron salad. It's a heat that will stay with you and warm the whole body while you still beg for another serving~
Dessert
Magic Chocolate Flower. The chocolate Alice uses is slightly on the darker side, which would better balance with the vanilla cream. The chocolate truffles contain a strawberry, cherry, and cream foam that will burst open in the mouth upon biting into them. In addition to being deliciously sweet, the cream should help to soothe the previous entree's heat and pull the body into a relieved state. Instead of a flower-cut strawberry, Alice's has a rose created with pulled sugar. Instead of the berries in the center, there is a pair of rings and a little note that says "Be my love" that she did not inform Mercury about but he's welcome to take credit for, or be horrifically embarrassed about.
