Worth the Splurge!

Tetsuya's Sashimi of Kingfish with Blackbean & Orange
To welcome us into a night of good food paired with fine wines, the host brought us some warm bread with beautiful sinfully divine truffle butter. …and this was (just) the bread service.
As Tetsuya is renowned for his creations with seafood, it wasn’t surprising that five courses were seafood. My favourite was the sashimi of kingfish with blackbean and orange. The natural sweetness of the kingfish with the slightly salty and sweet dressing it was dressed in was simply delicious. This was one dish that I wished they gave a slightly bigger portion of.
The next three dishes were ox tail, spatchcock and Angus beef. I’m not a big fan of meat, so while I thought they were all beautifully created – I wouldn’t have missed them if they weren’t served. However, most of my friends favoured the Angus beef – you can read more about it here.
Now, dessert was a different story. I didn’t just have one…but I had three! Boy, was I stoked! They were all absolutely beautiful. I can’t pick a favourite…
Overall, it was a beautiful evening and we sailed through the 13 courses effortlessly – as the portions were just right. The pairing of wine with each course was perfect, and a should-do if you ever decide to dine at Tetsuya’s.
So, was it worth the splurge? Definitely! Would I go again? Absolutely!
