goga chowdown

bittersweet occasion of sophia leaving calls for one thing and one thing only. FEAST. ok our lives have been seamlessly full of feasting but tonight was certainly no exception. sophia's last night in town, we had to do it delicious and appropo. aka goga - golden gate bridge style with SF chef brad something or another's tiny concoction of fresh, intellectually concocted dishes. yes i'm tipsy from the 3 glasses of wine we had.

first a lobster roll...which i neglected to take a photo of because of the monster in my stomach that forced my hands to go straight for the buttery crispy roll rather than my iphone.

i might have coerced sophia to order the duck confit salad - mixed greens, onions, caramel pecans, apples, etc etc etc with a beet sherry vinagrette. but i think eventually she was into it :)

then comes the special of the night - grilled salmon with wasabi vinagrette (read sinus killer) and delicious crunchy shenanigans. like...bring your tissues an buckle up because this shit is delicious.

finally after complimentary pours of our glass o vino, our miso black cod arrived. it tasted much different than it looked...rich, miso-y and buttery. unfortunately we wanted to die from how much we already devoured so this was a tough swallow...literally. but so delicious if i had that empty stomach. any day now...

all in all a great last night with sophia over a memorable california-china inspired meal.

shout out to tony for a great night!

LOVE YOU SOPHIA!

tomorrow morning (like early morning) off to laos for golden week. staying off the radar to enjoy the bliss of lowkey vacay!!!! cant wait!
