Happy New Year
We had a nice evening last night with Gerd and Delphine. Started the 6-course southeast asian tasting menu at around 7 and finished at around 10:30. Goal: tasty and attractive food that was not rich but still very enjoyable and which would leave no one too tired to move afterward. Goal accomplished. But...everyone is a little bit slow this morning...effects of champagne and wine. :-)
Today, the plan: museums. Tomorrow: spa/massage.
Cats didn't seem too disturbed by the fireworks last night, but we were surprised that they were so loud and prominent here - I guess we have never been in Munich for New Year's, although that seems almost inconceivable.
1st Course:
Scallop and Mango Spoons with Thai Basil
2nd Course:
Water Pepper Leaf wraps with coconut marmelade
3rd Course:
Banana flower and duck breast salad with star fruit and pomelo
4th Course:
Granny smith apple and lemongrass sorbet
5th Course:
Rice flower and tumeric crepes with lemongrass shrimp
6th Course:
Coconut flan with longan, pomegranate and physalis

Beautiful food, besides being tasty. What are those little chocolate bunnies? Ads for Easter already? :-)
Sue
Thank you. :-) The chocolate bunnies are actually chocolate and marzipan piggies. They are traditional here (along with four-leaf clover plants) for new year's. Actually, you'll see marzipan piggies everywhere - in all the bakeries and Konditorei...the truffle ones I bought are a bit untraditional - usually they are all marzipan.
