Two dear friends chose the restaurant and deliberated over the menu selections; my job was to enjoy the delightful company and conversation.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Click on any image to view it in high resolution.)<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FDQM6386.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FDQM6386.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1440\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9949\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FDQM6386.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FDQM6386-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FDQM6386-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FDQM6386-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FDQM6386-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSambal Butter Roasted Oysters was probably the best item we tasted and it was seriously delicious. But what\u2019s a holiday without a you-had-to-be-there story? So&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>The only hitch was that somewhere along the route from kitchen to table, a considerable quantity of that tasty butter spilled, engulfing the mountain of rock salt upon which the oysters had been perched, effectively camouflaging it. Of course, I had no idea what lay at the bottom of the pool until I tasted an unfortunate mouthful of what I thought was provided as an accompanying condiment. Shoulda known better. And a regrettable waste of delectable sambal butter to boot. Fortunately, there was still plenty remaining on top of the oysters, all covered with sauce.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MUGS2403.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MUGS2403.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1440\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9947\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MUGS2403.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MUGS2403-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MUGS2403-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MUGS2403-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/MUGS2403-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWild Dandelion Greens Salad with white anchovies and parmigiana cheese bathed in a lemony dressing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FGFR9512.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FGFR9512.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1440\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FGFR9512.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FGFR9512-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FGFR9512-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FGFR9512-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/FGFR9512-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nDucka Ducka Banh Mi \u2013 a successful cross-cultural combo: Peking duck and duck rillettes, carrots and cucumber with sambal hoisin mayo.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/LJXA7106.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/LJXA7106.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1440\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/LJXA7106.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/LJXA7106-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/LJXA7106-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/LJXA7106-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/LJXA7106-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nRoasted Bone Marrow with rosemary grapefruit marmalade and crispy toasted slices of French baguette.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/TESV4557.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/TESV4557.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1440\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/TESV4557.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/TESV4557-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/TESV4557-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/TESV4557-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/TESV4557-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSalt Baked Potato with smoked black cod, cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche, and caviar.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds like holiday food to me!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent busman&#8217;s holiday.
