Sushi Samba Las Vegas

The menu at Sushi Samba is completely addicting. Sushi Samba melds Japanese, Peruvian, and Brazilian interpretations on food, drink, and design. It's like a little something for everyone, with many unique and delicious dishes perfect for sharing. And really, that is the fun of Sushi Samba, enjoying several beautiful dishes while emphasizing the social aspect of the dining experience. Eating here is also fun; from the whimsical decor, to the food itself, it's a delightful experience. After the rich breakfast we enjoyed at Bouchon, we were looking forward to enjoying a few vegetables. More often than not, vegetables are virtually ruined by excessive or ransid oil. Luckily, Sushi Samba perfectly prepared the field green salad with sliced radishes, and beets. It came with a light and flavourful carrot ginger dressing. Very refreshing.

Photobucket We loved the shrimp ceviche, with perfectly chopped vegetables, and a crunchy plantain to top it off. Photobucket The sushi platter, with the samba strip roll, was gorgeous, in every sense. It was a nice surprise to have a few bites of lobster to accompany our rolls, but the unagi (bbq eel), hiding in the background was absurdly good. My caipirinha is in the background, just as strong as it should be. Photobucket This cake looks too simple. Fortunately, it was not. It was a warm chocolate banana cake, but hiding underneath the vanilla rum ice cream is this toffee-like maple piece. Now it does sound simple, I agree, although it tucked a nice little surprise into a warm chocolate cake, which wouldn't otherwise compete with the hundreds of other warm chocolate cakes available elsewhere.

with a slight delay

I love wi-fi. Here we are still in the Calgary airport waiting for Jeff's Dad to be kind enough to collect us, as our flight is now delayed until 7:50pm, from 8:40am. But I'm still able to post, it's pretty absurd really! So now the first eat is a late-night dinner at Sushi Samba in the Palazzo Hotel, and we're talking late-night. Until later. xox

Vegas Baby!

Yes, I know it's snowing in Las Vegas. Or at least, it was snowing there yesterday. But we are at the airport awaiting departure. It shouldn't be more than a few hours until the adventure begins, so expect updates shortly! There's only one real problem; Jeff wants to start with a pastry from Payard, and I want dim-sum from Zine, in the Palazzo. Delectable difficulties, oh darn! p.s. towing a new Canon 5D MarkII !
