Before I even get into the details of this meal, can we just talk about how beautiful this plate looks? We had a window seat at Asa and the natural light just hit the food perfectly. I mean, this is food magazine cover quality!I was treating my hubby to dinner tonight for helping out so much and for being so patient when our house was Grand Central this past week. We had three different sets of guests over the course of a week. It was fun, but hectic. He chose Asa, our favorite neighborhood sushi restaurant.
At Asa, we primarily eat rolls, usually accompanied by some salmon sashimi and edamame. Our favorite roll is the Red Dragon, the one to the far left in this photo: tempura shrimp through the middle, spicy tuna and eel on top and tobiko on top of that. I adore tobiko - those crunchy little eggs just make any roll better.
We also regularly enjoy the Honey Roll, on the right on the plate - avocado and tobiko inside and salmon on top. The new roll we tried tonight was First Love (middle of the plate) - spicy hamachi (yellow tail) inside with eel and salmon on top. For me, it was just shy of being too spicy, but it was good.
After this beautiful, classy meal, we went and saw The Hangover, which was neither beautiful not classy but it was freaking hilarious. Feel free to steal out date night plan for yourself!
