🦞 La Bourriche | A Celebration of Chinese Seafood Brilliance ✨
Last night’s dinner at La Bourriche—a modern seafood haven with Basque-inspired grill mastery—was a revelation. The all-seafood tasting menu (pre-selected days ahead) showcased flawless technique and deep respect for local ingredients. Here’s the splashy breakdown: 🌟 Standout Dishes: "Squid, Olive Kernel, Ajo Blanco": A chilled Andalusian-inspired starter—tender squid in an olive-emulsified sauce that’s silky yet structured 🦑💧. Whelk with Périgueux Sauce: Slow-cooked to uni-like tenderness, draped in black truffle cream—a 10,000km flavor marriage 🐚🌍. Shandong Razor Clams: Charred + tabbouleh-crowned = Malaga beach vibes in one bite 🌊🔥. Grilled Sole: Aged, then kissed by Basque fire + garlic-wine-lemon sauce—bold, rustic, perfect 🐟🍋. 🤔 Misses (For Balance): King Crab & Kombu Pasta: Luxury ingredients but no spark (¥3,000 for pretty visuals? 🦀🚫). Mud Crab Roe Brioche: Local twist but muddy funk clashed with butter 🥖🤷♂️. "House Caviar": Forgot to shine (more confetti than flavor ✨). 🇨🇳 The Real Star? Every seafood hero was sourced from China’s coasts—proof that local catches can rival global luxury. No gimmicks, just clean techniques and honest flavors. 💸 Worth It? For seafood purists who appreciate restraint—yes. For value hunters? Maybe once (wallet, brace yourself 💰). 📍 La Bourriche Basque fire meets Chinese shores. #ModernFrench #SeafoodLover #BasqueGrill #ChineseIngredients #SplurgeWorthy #LAFineDining
