Contra - squid, eggplant, boudin
Contra - squid, eggplant, boudin

I was nearly speechless with a first bite: squid was cooked nothing short of perfect and served warm, which brought out the flavor nuances of the shellfish and paired it with every other element on the plate. Eggplant and squid ink puree was not at all assertive, and that was a good thing - it brought levels of flavor at par with the shellfish, but did not overpower it. The most surprising and unexpected elements were the the greens - perilla (sesame) and another herb I don't even know ( I think it may have been something called "pápalo", aka Yerba Porosa); either herbs are rare in my corners, but here it was a match to remember. Conceptually and execution-wise food doesn't get much better than this - simply unreal.
