Visited Majordomo on an impromptu basis last night. The bing bread didn’t really stand out to me on my first visit. But it has really blown me away during the last two visits and I can confidently say I prefer it to Bavel’s standard pita!
Couple of dishes I hadn’t tried before:
- Hamachi collar with sunflower Hozon, pickled rhubarb: Perfectly crisp skin with a smoky flavor running through the sauce; yet the dish is super bright with tons of punchy lemon and briny flavors. A bit hard to share, but just order your own.
- Grilled Prime Skirt Steak with pickled onion rings, Thao’s greens & chili jam: Steak is great, but the twist on this dish is the pickled onion rings. Not sure if Chang is the first person to do this, but pickling the onions before frying is a wonderful idea. Once again, it brightens up the dish and gives a nice contrast to the savory beef.
- Tapioca Lo Mein yu choy, garlic, chili oil: A nice dry heat permeates the noodles, yet again, there is an offsetting acidity and freshness here that prevents the dish from overpowering you. [no picture]
The worst part about Majordomo is that I can never seem to leave without stuffing myself, eating something fried / carbloading. Will be fasting today.
