a few new things on the menu this week:
sushi side salad
this is sort of a play on the little bento box precursor everyone knows of: hearts of romaine, shredded kale tossed in miso dressing, crispy shallots, red radish, wasabi pea dust, and a little more dressing for good measure. fresh and a little bit spicy, so a great compliment to some of our richer offerings.
KFC (korean fried chicken)
our play on a bloor and christie classic (bigup to ajuker fried chicken), just made a little easier to eat with your hands. double fried, tossed in sweet korean bbq sauce (mainly chili paste, ginger, honey, garlic) and topped with sesame and green onions.
farinata tre-colore
this one requires a bit of explanation. farinata di ceci is an italian chickpea flour pancake from an area called liguria. what we’ve done here is make a little grilled cheese sandwich out of it employing romesco sauce (toasted almonds and roasted peppers), super soft local mozzarella di bufala, and basil pesto. we love the name, but don’t be surprised to see this one titled ‘eyetalian grilled cheese’ in the near future – we’ve been finding the name is a little daunting to some.
