Ami and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary in November, but Ami was too portly and rotund to go out to eat (that is to say she was too pregnant) so we ordered in. Unfortunately in Japan private catering is almost unheard of. They are times like these that I am glad to be friends with a chef, and not just any chef but the proprietor of the finest Mexican dining in the city, if not the country. He was more than happy to prepare a chef's specialty that didn't run me to the poor house - here is the
menu he prepared for us:
Carrot Salad - it sounds simple but its undeniably exquisite
Ceviche - diced fish and onion cured in lemon juice
Chips with Chile beans and guacamole - all hand made, no canned dips here
Crema de coco Mariscos Caribeanos - creamy coconut shrimp
Pollo al mojo de ajo jalapeno - succulent chicken breast covered in a thick garlic and jalapeno sauce
The corn tortillas were fresh and
hand made, as was the salsa and the tortilla chips.
