Food porn: Wasabi by Morimoto in Mumbai

[Recursion]

Yeah, that was good.

My mother-in-law is in town, and for a belated wedding present she took us to ("Iron Chef&quot Morimoto's Wasabi at the Taj in south Mumbai.



The sign, for all you doubters...



The decor is really cool.



With a nice view of the Gateway of India from the window.



A potato and wasabi mayo amuse bouche.



Seared foie gras.



Rock shrimp tempura.



A sushi plate: spicy salmon, fatty tuna, and softshell crab.



Chicken and crab fried rice.



Grilled stuffed panko/truffle lobster (that black spot is a stack of truffle slices).



Lamb shanks.



Miso black cod.



Chocolate mango tart.



Strawberry/cherry blossom shortcake.

Sorry I didn't bring enough to share with the whole lounge, but hopefully you can enjoy this vicariously a bit...

4. I hate you. Have I told you how much I hate you?

Cruel and unusual punishment. From the far side of the globe.

At the same time, I find the high-end food aesthetic of giant plate/tiny portion very amusing. It's true of many overpriced restaurants. Visually ridiculous.

5. That fried rice looks amazing!
