Morimoto pt.2

This is continuation from yesterday's post about my trip to Morimoto's restaurant in Chelsea.
If you recall, we did the tasting menu (omakase - which means leaving it to the chef's hand). They have one tier of $125 and another one at $200. You really are leaving it in the liberty of the chef.
pallet cleansing drink, it's a fresh basil ginger ale
Sushi

oyster

consumate with truffle (wasn't as good as I'd thought it'd be)

warm dish, it was fish, but forgot what kind

Steak with Lobster and creme fraiche. The sour of the creme really bring out the taste of the lobster.

This is a pineapple cake with a little rum squeeze (the cake was too sour and the rum tasted funny), chestnut ice cream (which was yummy), and fruit.
Pudding like thing, but the top layer to get there is like a carmel but sour and doesn't taste very well.

I think for us, paying that type of money we expected the dessert to be the big finish. So when both sets of dessert didn't deliver that was quite disappointing. The rest of the coursed tasted good. There's a few courses that were just ok, but the rest were quite good.
