There are many reasons why I always return to Spago at MBS. Leading the list is because every dish that leaves the kitchen helmed by Chef Greg Bess, is impeccably executed. Here is a glowing example, coupled with a healthy dose of creativity after his 2-week break of inspired brainstorming.
Lush and colourful, this salad is not only a sight to behold, but also a lyrical medley of many things Japanese on the tastebuds. The harmonious arrangement of the different kinds of tomatoes with Japanese sea lettuce sautéed in yuzu and soy, and crisp cucumber blossoms in an umeboshi vinaigrette dressing is both umami and refreshing. Lifting the vegetables with its light-as-air texture is the surprising miso "soil".
If you are at Spago for dinner, I highly recommend giving this appetiser a try. All of us who had it yesterday, haven't stopped singing praises about it.
