Nigiri: Sakura tai snapper - kombu oil, sesame.
King salmon - ponzu, sakura salt.
Bluefin tuna - soy marinated, wasabi.
Hamachi - light soy, yuzu salt.
O-toro - house soy, jalapeño koji.

Hand rolls: Spicy tuna - jalapeño, wasabi, green onion, soy.
Baked crab - kani-kama, dynamite sauce.

There was also edamame and Hatcho miso soup to start, with a mango yuzu creamsicle for dessert.

All super tasty and look forward to coming back for their AYCE brunch option!

Really love the new BTS Oreos (Korean brown sugar pancake) so decided to crumble them into a dairy-free vanilla base for a different kind of cookies and cream flavor.

The recipe is from Food 52’s “Just-the-Best Vanilla Ice Cream” but modified based on feedback here where folks replace their heavy cream with Country Crock Plant Cream and milk with Califia Batista oat milk. Still kept the egg yolks though.

It froze really well and I was definitely pleasantly surprised with the final result.

Greetings! This will be our first time flying business class with British Airways, so I'm hoping to get some advice/suggestions on seating from folks.

From IAD to LHR we're on a Boeing 777-300er. This is an overnight flight, and while being able to actually sleep was a major reason for the upgrade, we're also looking forward to the experience overall as newbies. Sitting together is also a priority. 

The mini cabin with rows 5-7 is already booked up for any seats next to each other, so the next options start in the following cabin section with rows 8-18, or the last area with rows 19-24. Thinking 10 E/F maybe, but there's lots of availability. 

LHR to IAD looks like a slightly different configuration with Boeing 777-200/300, so thinking about Row 2 or 7 E/F, unless there's any benefit to the other section with rows 10-14. 

Thanks for any insights.

Love being able to enjoy a mix of traditional rolls, sushi abominations, and nigiri :)

In-N-Out: shabu steak, lettuce, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, thousand island, chips, pickles
Pacific: yellowtail, tuna, cucumber, avocado, green onion, masago, cilantro, jalapeño
Nigiri: shrimp, salmon, marinated mackerel, and eel
Double Shrimp Tempura (x2): double shrimp tempura, avocado, cream cheese, tobiko, sweet soy sauce, wasabi mayo
Filet-Oh-Fish: fish bites, cheddar cheese, tobiko, house tartar, green onion
Yellowtail and scallion roll + more salmon
Spicy tuna roll + even more salmon and tuna

So one financier has whipped golden blond chocolate ganache and salted caramel and the other has whipped dark chocolate ganache, baileys, and salted caramel.

The financiers were made using Prue Leith’s recipe from GBBO (so much brown butter!) and the ganaches are based off Matt Adlard’s recipe with some minor tweaks.

In retrospect, I should’ve done the crunchy pearls in contrasting colors, but this was for a colleague’s birthday and he specifically requested an all white chocolate version for one of them 😅
