Sooo guys... for wifey& #39;s birthday @intheblane I recreated some of her favorite dishes and drinks from @MRCHOW and @StarrRestaurant #BuddakanNYC

A Thread:

She chose the Lychee Martini with @Ciroc
I went with the Kingstonian Sorrel @wrayandnephewus for the culture https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇯🇲" title="Flag of Jamaica" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of Jamaica">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇯🇲" title="Flag of Jamaica" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of Jamaica">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇯🇲" title="Flag of Jamaica" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of Jamaica">

Appetizers-------> Steamed Oxtail Dumplings in a sweet soy sauce topped with green apples and a little habañero... I plated it right in front of her

Oxtail was braised then cooked until they were practically falling off the bone and shredded then wrapped. This was all done day of https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😴" title="Sleeping face" aria-label="Emoji: Sleeping face">

Main Course --------> Crispy Duck with mandarin pancakes served with carrots, cucumbers, and hoison sauce. Sides were Napa Bok Choy and Vegetable Fried Rice.

Dessert --------> She chose her favorite Vanilla Bean Coffee Crème Brûlée topped with edible 24k gold flakes

Chef& #39;s choice dessert was a Guava sorbet...

It was overall a sucess. I enjoy cooking. And yes, I am the cook of the house. Hope you all enjoyed. #BlackMenWhoCook
