Everybody at the restaurant knows you. The chef comes out to greet you by name and tell you you're his best customer.
This happened last night. A new (pretty nice) restaurant just opened up last Friday, and last night (Wednesday) was the 3rd time I've been there.
It was nice, really ... we were sent a couple of things at the beginning and the chef came out to chat for a while. Turns out he lives a block away from me!
I ordered a soup and a very excellent tofu cake salad. The tofu cake was somewhat smashed silkened tofu sauteed with different kinds of mushrooms over a bed of spring greens and citric vinegritte. Very refreshing summer fare.
Won't be going back there until Friday night, with my aunt.
For the time being ... here's something I want to try making:
Lemon-y risotto
Grilled prawns (about 3-5 of them)
Crab dumplings (about 2-3) ... haven't decided whether they should be wonton skin wrapped crab meat with ricotta cheese and a bit of chives and fastened with a piece of chive - fried or steamed?
