Hello everyone, I am stupid and fat, and I have a handsome and majestic back.
Ben Fat is a diner who lives in San Francisco and often visits some delicious and legendary restaurants.Today I invite you all to join me in exploring the city of San FranciscoTwo Michelin Star Indian Restaurant —— Campton Place.
Campton Place stood out in the 2016 Tire Man guide.After maintaining the first Michelin star for five years, this Indian-style restaurant was awarded two more stars and squeezed into the few Michelin two-star industries.Chef Srijith Gopinathan providedCalifornia-Indian style with French traditional cookingJane. Interestingly, there are very few restaurants in the United States that have a Michelin title in Southeast Asian style. Except for Kin Khao, a newly-starred Thai cuisine this year, I really haven't seen it. It can be seen that this year's Michelin has spent more energy on discovering star restaurants in Southeast Asia, but unfortunately there is still no Chinese food on the list. Hakkasan, originally from New York, was also squeezed out of Michelin this year. This aroused my interest even more, so I submitted my application two weeks ago, hoping that Meteor and Aurora, and that day finally arrived as expected.
Campton Place is located in TAJ Hotel, in Union Square in San Francisco. It is said that TAJ was established in 1903 and is one of the five top hotel groups in Asia, affiliated with India. Although I've never heard of chubby, TAJ means crown in Persian. Taj Mahal in India is not TAJ Mahal ~
Closer to home, as soon as you enter TAJ Hotel, you will find Campton Place on the right! It is not the same as the chubby imagination. The decoration does not have too many Indian characteristics. It is a higher-grade decoration than the traditional United States, but it does not give people a bright surprise.
When the waiter presented the menu, Stupid was somewhat surprised, as standard on Michelin. Set Menu is always indispensable, but the price is much cheaper than I expected.$ 125 for 9 coursesIt's really more affordable by the standard of the tire person two star, at least the cheapest I've seen so far, of course, provided you don't have a mouth to eat caviar ~
In Pre-dish, what impressed Ben Fat the most was the pepper in the middle. The fragrance is very crisp and it feels like I can grab a bag and eat in the cinema.
Autumn Vegetables
Grains, Roots, Blossom, Sorrel Snow and Cucumber Broth
On some autumn vegetables, mix the broth made with cucumber and make snowflakes made with sorrel. After eating a slightly greasy pre-dinner snack, a salad to reawaken your taste is always indispensable; coupled with Broth made from cucumber, it is especially fresh and pleasant! Sorrel is a common vegetable in most grasslands of Europe and West Asia. The sorrel is rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and oxalic acid. The oxalic acid causes this plant to taste sour and smooth, and is often used as a seasoning for cooking.
Spice Pot
"Chaas", Tamarind Chutney and Cilantro
Chaas is served with tamarind chutney and maltose-like lump.
I named it "Crunchy and Crisp", with a tangy, tangy sensation in the texture. This is also the best visual effect of these 9 dishes, of course, dry ice plays an extremely important role in it. When the waiter introduced the dish, he said, did you see the fog? This is San Francisco; Enjoy Your Meal! Chaas is a type of yogurt unique to India. It is usually accompanied by spices. It is said to help digestion, but yogurt does not have this effect ~
Day boat Scallop “Potli”
Goan Shellfish Broth, Romano Beans and Scallop Pappadum
Soup made from aquatic products from Goa, India, served with a lentil-like bean crepes
Goan is a type of Indian cuisine, mainly seafood. The main reason is that Goa is a former Portuguese colony, so it is influenced by Portuguese cuisine. When it comes to the taste of this dish, it is also pleasing. The tender taste of scallops is accompanied by the sharp fried flavor of spices. At the same time, the flavor of scallops hits the aroma of Indian spices, which also provides many surprises for diners. Most of the scallops here come from the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean, which is near the state of Maine in the United States and the province of Labrador in Canada. It can reach about 270 meters below the sea floor.
Into the fat science time! Generally the best scallops are called two types:
Diver Scallops: Generally, the divers dive to the bottom of the sea and pick one by one. Relatively speaking, they are all large.
Day Boat Scallops: It refers to those scallops that are "one day tour, one bite". The scallops are the freshest and most expensive ones. Usually, the scallops we eat are returned to the port after about ten days of salvage. In order to extend the life of these scallops, the crew will These "checkmate" scallops are dipped in phosphate to ensure their "freshness".
White Alba Truffles
Maine Lobster, 24K Golden Flakes
Maine's lobster, supplemented with 24 pure gold flakes, and white truffle to complete the so-called brocade decals
This dish is quite special. The ingredients used are truffles from one of the world's three largest treasures, or white truffles from Alba, Italy! 80% of the world's white truffles are produced by Alba, which is also called a diamond on the table. In very good years, the output of white truffles was only 3 tons, and the highest quality white truffles were very rare compared to the 35 tons of black truffles. He Hongrong, a Macau gambler, once bought 33 kilograms of white truffle for 1.5 US dollars. There are probably only two grams of truffles on the fat side ...
This lobster, which is both gold and diamond, is not included in the Set Menu. If you are interested, you should also consciously offer $ 75. This dish is the least Indian of the 9 dishes, but it has the strongest flavor and makes it a sweet aftertaste ~
Black Code
Shrimp Podimas, Paratha Crust and Snow Peas
Cod is complemented by scary crusts and Indian crisps, garnished with dutch beans
Speaking of the taste of this dish, I don’t remember the stupidity after eating truffles... Only the strong truffle flavor permeates my mind, permeating, and wandering indulgently. orz...
String Hoppers
Seasonal Vegetables, Prawns, Cashew Nut Broth and Black Mustard
With Sri Lankan characteristic rice noodles as the "staple", seasonal vegetables are once again served, and a broth made with cashew nuts and black mustard seeds...
A dish before the main food should also gradually fill our stomachs. The special sauce with Sri Lankan rice noodles topped with the special sauce and tumbled with the seafood below will still make people look forward to the next dish.
However, the final staple food and dessert chubby will be used as Indian secrets for everyone to explore, but Ben Fat can make a suggestion is that Main Course still recommends Medium Rare to ensure the freshness of meat!
Generally speaking, dining in Campton Place is a very pleasant thing. Although the environment is slightly noisy, compared to the silence of French cuisine, such noise is more attractive to me. After eating, I really want the chubby spree to wander in India. I walk on the street and look at men's gowns and women wear sari. The background is the noisy clamor on the street, and there are mysterious spices from time to time The taste is probably my yearning for India.
