Blue Ginger Tasting Menu

One of my good friends Adam is a culinary student at the CIA(Culinary Institute of America). As a part of his program, he had to intern at a restaurant. As an intern at Blue Ginger in Wellesley, Massachusetts, Adam invited me to dine at the restaurant with him. We  had a multi-course meal with wine pairings. It was probably the best meal I have had in recent memory. We had a selection from the menu. I got to meet Adam's boss, Chef Ming Tsai. Ming Tsai if you don not know who he is an award winning chef. He has been on Iron Chef America, in which he defeated Bobby Flay. He also has a television show on PBS called Simply Ming. Any ways here are some of the dishes I had at Blue Ginger.

Blue Ginger Charcuterie Plate: Duck Prosciutto, Foie Gras Torchon, Pork Terrine.
Miso-Sake Sablefish, wasabi oil soy lime syrup, vegetarian soba noodle sushi

Pan Seared sea scallops with black garlic beurre fondue, herb salad and yuzu lime mushroom risotto

Foie gras shiitake shumai in sauterne shallot broth
Pomegranate glazed rack of lamb with mashed fingerling potatoes, Chinese black bean creamed spinach and persimmon endive salad. 


Grilled mainated hangersteak and garlic black pepper lobster with lemongrass fried rice, pea tendril salad with tamari-ginger vinaigrette


All of the dishes were awesome and the last two dishes were over the top delicious.The wine we drank with each course complimented the dishes quite well. It kind of felt as if I was binge drinking at fine dining restaurant with the wine with every course. The desserts were awesome too, but I forgot to take pictures. Anyways hope you all like the pictures.
