I feel like I have an obsession with trying out different flavors of ice cream. I see it as a blank canvas which you can create anything you want. I'm so glad that Chef encourages us to try out our recipes. Every time I find a new interesting recipe, I want to try it out. When it turns out the way I imagine I feel so great. There are times when it doesn't come out quite the way I had envisioned so I try again. If it still doesn't taste or the texture isn't what I'm looking for then I'll try to modify it until it works. Keeps the brainstorm going!
My recent play was a bacon & egg ice cream. I wasn't sure about it at first since it's so far out there but after I made it, the initial tasting of the ice cream was AWESOME! I can't believe how good it is. Given it is kind of weird for some people to comprehend but for the adventurous, it's one of the best ice cream flavors out there! Sweet & a little salty. Delicious!

New Dishes!
Mother's Day has just passed. Now we can all breathe a little. Abode has picked up a lot since my last post and it's been very busy. New menu items in both savory and dessert has certainly kept everyone busy. The best part of new items meant we get to try it as well. yummy!
I love how most of the dishes are fish instead of meat. Barramundi, Halibut and Black cod. Arctic Char is served at lunch and Brunch. I love seafood and I love to eat fish. The barramundi is one of the best fish dish to eat. For a fish, it's very meaty and it is prepared so well.
The halibut is great. Crusted in crispy Prosciutto and served with white asparagus. My favorite still is the black cod. It just melts in your mouth and the sea urchin carrot foam sauce is just so perfect with the fish.
I admire my chef's creativity and the plates are always beautiful. The cuisine isn't something you see everyday and each dish is made with so much detail. I'm so impressed by the flavors them.
With Desserts we have 3 new dishes. Pain Perdu is like french toast served with strawberry syrup and thyme praline with a side of Lemon Gelato. Coconut soup with lemongrass panna cotta, banana cake croutons, passionfruit syrup, shiso ice cream and cilantro caviar. Chocolate Ginger cake with chickpea cream and fennel ice cream.
My friends who ate there said it's been one of their best meals in LA. They all mention that it's been so long since they had such an amazing meal. I know for a fact they haven't stop talking about it for about 2 weeks now! Every chance they get, they describe to their other friends the meal at Abode. When they introduce me to their friends, I get the introduction of, "she the one that works at Abode, you know, the restaurant I told u about...the one where we should all go. You have to try it." Of course, they also say the dessert is mind blowing!
