Lychee, Blueberry, Black Currant, Yellow Curry

 

This selection jumped out to me because I like blueberries and black currants, and occasionally appreciate odd combinations of flavours (i.e. curry with dessert?). What arrived on the plate was a fantastic arrangement of perfectly aligned geometric shapes that were built, table side, into a spectacular tower that was ooh and ahh worthy.

 

True to L2o, every element was unique:

Fresh blueberries

Freeze dried black currants

Black currant sorbet was rich and creamy

Lychee sorbet was juicy icy, but had a slushy granita texture

A brittle sugar tube that encased fresh blueberries

Added table side were:

An airy lychee foam added height and dimension but felt over whipped on the palate

Liquid nitrogen flash frozen blueberry "pearls"

Dusting of curry powder that was visually appealing, but was random, having no real place in flavour or aroma.

 

As a food enthusiast who's keen on textural contrasts - this was everything I could want and more, but somehow it fell flat. Having contrasting textures work well when the elements combined; this plate was not conducive to such action. I liked the effort, but I didn't really enjoy the hard sugar shards, the dense frozen texture of the blueberry juice and their freeze dried brethren (there's something lost when fruit is reduced to a form where its juicy contents cannot burst out from beneath their thin skins), the gritty texture of the lychee sorbet and foam was a tad off putting. It felt forced - again, too many good things does not equal an even better product. The products were top quality, but nothing really bound them together.

 

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but beyond the visual appeal of very lovely looking ingredients, I was left wanting more.

Radish carving accent with celery curls and fruit plating.

The nickel and chrome electroplating company is actually located at 2020 N. Holly Ave., accessible from a driveway into the Best Buy parking lot off of W. Armitage Avenue. It also does small-lot production plating on various metals.

Pipefish look like straight-bodied seahorses with tiny mouths. The name is derived from the peculiar form of their snout, which is like a long tube, ending in narrow and small mouth which opens upwards and is toothless. The body and tail are long, thin, and snake-like. They have a highly modified skeleton formed into armored plating. This dermal skeleton has several longitudinal ridges, so that a vertical section through the body looks angular, not round or oval as in the majority of other fishes.
