2007-01-26: Nectar Wine Lounge Burlingame
My friend Stacey and I kicked back at Nectar Wine Lounge in Burlingame for drinks and dinner. Dinner's true highlight was loin chop, a lightly smoked kurobuta pork loin chop resting in spatzle and warm apple & cabbage salad, drizzled with calvados pan sauce... Whatever... it was basically a big piece of bacon... oh so good.
But then we had to have dessert. Below is a chocolate souffle (heavenly milk chocolate souffle topped with whipped creme fraiche showered with cacao nibs and accompanied by a chocolate tuille). What goes well with chocolate? Oh yes, port wine... :P
Our other dessert was an affogato (hot espresso poured over cardamom ice cream with a chocolate and hazelnut biscotti).
So after 3+ hours of good food and company, we called it a night. Have a great weekend, everyone!
