as i proceeded back from my sojourn to distant buildings, i snagged dessert first from cafe7 (the one with the good pastry selection). they had a camembert out that was appropriately liquid and mushroomy in flavour, as well as a reconstructed strawberry shortcake: two pieces of cream biscuit sandwiching a white chocolate mousse and a strawberry mousse filled with chunks of fruit.
at no-name, there was oven-roasted butterfish marinated in soy sauce and chinese rice wine, just on the right side of being undercooked. there was also a brilliant salad of arugula, baby dandelion leaves, pine nuts, and parmesan, dressed in a chervil-tinged vinaigrette. the parmesan and pine nuts make it deeply satisfying (being meaty and salty), the dandelion leaves and arugula keep it real. the chervil (which is all over the place, there must be a glut. it's even in the egg salad sandwiches) makes the vinaigrette bright, sparkly, and faintly lemony. it was good times.
