While Blue Ginger's decor doesn't dazzle, even the most snobbish will appreciate the creativity & complexity that Ming's food embodies. For appetizers we had Mings Tea-Smoked Salmon & Beef Carpaccio w/ Fresh Wasabi Emulsion & Foie Gras-Shiitake Shumai in Sauternes-Shallot Broth. The carpaccio was ok but the foie gras was a standout. Not a dish for the less adventurous as it was rather rich & surprisingly well blended. For entrees we had Grilled Harissa Glazed New Zealand Lamb Rack w/ Coconut Raita w/ Summer Vegetable Couscous Salad & Thai Basil-Mint Puree and Pan-Seared Scallops w/ Miso Koshi-Hikari Risotto and Wilted Greens-Wild Mushroom Fondue and Spicy Pumpkin Puree. Both were oustanding w/ expertly layered taste. The lamb had a amazing smoky flavor & texture. The scallops were soft, flavorful, & and the risotto was to die for. The spicy pumpkin puree gave it a playful autumn twist. Great experience!
