Last night, my boyfriend and I went to Blue Ginger for our 6-year anniversary dinner. For those of you who don't know, Blue Ginger is Ming Tsai's (of East Meets West and Simply Ming) flagship restaurant in Wellseley, Mass. What a fabulous meal we had. I was concerned because it bills itself as "asian fusion" and often times, I find this to mean uncreative Thai food. Ming Tsai however has made a career out of east meets west cuisine and is the master of it we found out after dining at Blue Ginger.
I started my meal with Lime Leaf-Crusted Colossal Shrimp with Galangal-Green Mango Salad & Vietnamese Sauce which was exquisite. Dan had the Blue Ginger Clam Chowder with Chinese Clam-Corn Fritter which was also nice. The chowder was good because it was not a cream based soup so it was not heavy and the fritter was excellent.
For entrees, I had a duck breast with an orange marmalade glaze and Blue Ginger's take on vietnamese springroll. Dan had one of the restaurant's signature dishes, Sake-Miso Marinated Alaskan Butterfish with Wasabi Oil, Soy-Lime Syrup and Vegetarian Soba Noodle Sushi. Both dishes were full of flavor and quite spectacular.
For dessert, we shared a Sesame Macadamia Caramel Nut Tart with Toasted Coconut Ice Cream and Housemade Hot Fudge and Gosling’s Rum Caramel which was to die for.
Not a bad meal for an anniversary dinner!
