Totto Ramen
Really yummy soup base but expect some good wait ;P
This place is really small, and for a group of 4 people and more, they will split you in 2 tables.

Jean Georges
After the recent visits to Jean Georges next door, I may as well post my memorable experience at the main dinning room of Jean Georges back in May.
P.S. Due to the restaurant environment, the photo quality of this set is ...um... not ideal... :(
The main dinning room is spacious, the best service I have yet came across.
It was an special occasion, I wasn't prepared and I afraid my little DC couldn't capture the beautiful of their food that night. That's being said, it was the complimentary starter. I only remember it was Fluke tartar on the right.
Sea Scallops, Caramelized Cauliflower. Their food was so fresh and tasted like no others. I love every one of their dish. ♥
Crispy Soft Shell Crab, Shiso-Yuzu mayonnaise
Sauteed Foie Gras, Young Ginger Puree & Passion Fruit.
Sweet Pea Soup, Croutons & Parmesan
Black Sea Bass with Nuts and Seeds, Sweet & Sour Jus
Maine Lobster, Potato dumplings, Smoked Butter & Pickled Chillis
The Citrus dessert platter (From upper left clockwise):
Warm Citrus Polenta with Dehydrated Grapefruit, Arugula and Crispy Fennel;
Soft Lime Gelee, Frozen Coconut, Kaffir Lime Sorbet;
Meyer Lemon Shaker Tart, Hazelnut Streusel, Meyer Lemon Sorbet;
Matcha Semi Freddo, Almond Praline, Seville Orange, Candied Kumquats (love this!)
The Rhubarb dessert platter (From upper left clockwise):
Frozen aerated Rhubarb, Creme Fraiche;
Strawberry-Rhubarb Soup, Mango, Passion Fruit and Yuzu;
Warm Honey-Rhubarb Tart, Crystallized Rose Petals;
Custard, Buckwheat Streusel.
The special dessert for our special occasion :) (how sweet is that!)
Macaron, homemade marshmellow, 2 sets of petit fours to follow.
I & G were very very pleased with our dinning tonight!

Nougatine at Jean Georges
Back from Spain, love it!~ ^^ Maybe I will have a post about the food I had in Spain sometimes later.
Back to my dining in NY, went to Jean Georges again before the trip and tried the Prix Fixe menu. I love the small portion of each dish so I can try more of different food.
Complimentary dish, Tomato Vegetable drink & Corn
Tuna Tartare, Avocado, Spicy Radish, Ginger Marinade. I had this last time during lunch, you can tell the smaller portion by looking at the spread of the radish.
Foie Gras Brulee, Pineapple-Meyer Lemon Jam. Out of all the Foie Gras dishes I tried so far, I like this brulee style the best. ^O^
Because G is not a big fans of Foie Gras, he changed his 2nd dish to this Peekytoe Crab Cake, Celeriac Remoulade with Melon Ice, which was AWESOME. The melon ice went well with the crab meat & other ingredients.
The 3rd dish was the Slowly Cooked Salmon with Japanese Rice Cake & Cherry Tomatos in Tofu Brouth. I like the color presentation of this dish so much. The salmon was tender. I also thought this was a good size in tasting menu, as I saw the table next to us order this as an entree and that portion was huge.. >__< (well, consider this was the only entree dish, that's the right portion)
Pan Seared Beef Tenderloin, Miso Butter and Roasted Brussel Sprouts. Also had this during my lunch visit last time.
The sweet part of the night, Dessert Tasting, consisted of (from upper left clockwise) Fig Tart, Strawberry Sorbet, Jean Georges' Warm Chocolate Cake and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. All delicious as always!

Nougatine Jean Georges
Went to Jean Georges for a casual lunch. Pre-fix for $26. The food there is always highly enjoyable!
Tuna Tartare, Avocado, Spicy Radish & Giner marinade, I like the sourness from the broth
Shrimp Salad with Avocado, Tomato and Champagne Vinegar Dressing. The shrimp was warm with the dressing.
Pan Seared Beef Tenderloin, Miso Butter & Roasted Brussel Sprouts. The green spices under the beef gave a very special taste to the beef :P
Pan Roasted Cod, Warm cranberry beans, leek vinaigrette, delicious with the tomato sauces!
Jean-Georges' Warm chocolate cake with Vanilla bean ice cream. Rich filling in the fallen chocolate cake.
Pistachio ice cream with wine infused peach, crunch macadamia & pistachio nuts ♥
Happy stomach~ Off to the Rose Center Planetarium for a walk~

I have always been looking for dessert places to hang-out :P
This is not only a dessert place, but a Japanese style dessert place!
This is the Dessert omakase (assortments) of 5, find more details in Read more. (｡◕‿◕｡)
I would say, you can't go to a Japanese dessert place without ordering a matcha drink! It's refreshing ≧▽≦
Here came the 1st little piece - vegan valrhona chocolate cake.
I think they call the cream part vanilla bean paste, it's not ice cream, but mix perfectly with the chocolate cake (`･ω･´)
Pettie green tea brulee, the good thing about these assortments is you get to try more, but ... they are so so small.. (-_ -a)
The signature sweet tofu, with kuromitsu syrup on top, taste pretty much like pudding with a lighter flavor. The little piece was a dry pineapple.
The passion fruit macarons. Delcicous~
Tada~ here came my favorite of the day! The green tea fudge. Rich rich green tea flavor with rich mouthfeel! Daisuki! ヽ( ≧▽≦)ノ
Then there was soymilk soft ice cream sundae with matcha mochi. After all the wonderful pettie dessert, the sundae was not as impressive, it felt like a normal soft ice cream
The white sesame cake could be more delicious if I hadn't ate all the goodies before >__<
To end this sweet delightful afternoon, there 2 small flower cakes that came with the check, chewy and yummy ♥
