December at work has been exhausting. Everyone seems to be knackered, lacking energy and fed up. Last Sunday though we had  a few hours of true awesomeness of Dinings. A few special guests were invited and The Chief designed a 7 course menu, a great variety of dishes, flavours, textures, with  which we matched some good wines and sake. Before the guests arrived, we were treated to each of those dishes, one by one. We sat at the sushi bar for over an hour, sipping good wines and tasting. I loved it.

Two highlights for me were the Cornish oysters, which is surprising, as I’ve never been a fan. The one I tasted was topped with beluga caviar, tasted of sea and freshness.

Then one of the most awesome noodle dishes I’ve ever tasted. Pho noodles, bathed in some lovely broth that the Chief had on the stove for a couple of days, with a chunk of kakuni wagyu beef and some shredded leeks on top. Great flavours.
