More of my favorite things...

So...I think this post could definitely be in contention for "Donna's Favorite things: Sushi edition."  My friend & I headed over to one of our very favorite, favorite place that has NEVER let us down:  Kenji Fusion in Hamilton, NJ.

We started off with the "Tuna Tango" which was small chunks of tuna, white fish, pineapple & mango all piled under a blanket of panko and surrounded by avocado.  Just LOOK AT THE AVOCADO...THAT is food ART!

And it tasted as good as it looked.  We could NOT keep our forks out of this thing!  The smooth tuna & white fish went along so well with the sweet & tangy tropical fruit, the crunch from the panko and the creaminess of the avocado.  This thing was CLASS A AWESOME!

And for the main event...we always pick out a few rolls and split them upJ

And just like every time we order them, by the time they arrive, we have ZERO clue what is in any of them and all of them just taste so damn good that it doesn't even matter!!

Kenji is just drop dead sushi perfection.  Not to mention, the second you step into the place you feel like you're in the middle of a sushi bar in Manhattan with it's dark decor & chic set up...totally awesome place!  Make it a MUST TRY!

And after sushi, we headed over to one of my "usual suspects":  The Bent Spoon!

My friend got vanilla bean and coffee (the super sweet vanilla and strong, almost bitter, coffee combo tasted like a cup of coffeeJ).  While I got a scoop of butter pecan (soo good), but the strawberry marscapone was just incredible!!!  Probably the best strawberry ice cream I've ever had...all made with Jersey fresh strawberries OF COURSE!J

So that was my little night out on the town on Tuesday.  I will be BACK in the kitchen tonight whipping up a healthy new recipe that I can’t WAIT to try.  Stay tuned and Happy Wednesday!!
