* Best of 2007 * Dish
Read about this dish and the other 25 Best Dishes of 2007 on my blog.
Fried Caulifower
Chiles, mint, delfino, fish sauce. ($11)
Notes: This is truly as good as everyone says it is. This dish was not only flavorful, perfectly executed, and satisfying, it was fun to eat.
The cauliflower had a nice golden crusty outside, but was perfectly cooked - still a bit firm - on the inside. What really made this dish for me was the fish sauce-based broth with a tinge of sweetness that flavored the whole dish from top to bottom. Everything else was icing on the cake - from the fragrant delfino that perfumed the whole dish with a grassy cilantro-like aroma, to the crispy rice puffs that contributed a nice fun crispy mouthfeel.
