seafood grill (for 2)
Grilled lobster, calamari, shrimps, tuna and scampi served with julienne vegetables and pan roasted potatoes...this is the best dish I have eaten so far in 2008....talk about flavour pushed to the upper limit....this was like a trip to seafood heaven :-)
a gift !
BIG FISH
The fifth taste.
It’s usually said that the human tongue can detect only four basic
tastes: sweet, sour, bitter and salty, and that all tastes are
combinations of these. Many specialists now believe that taste is
actually more complicated than this, with the taste buds being helped
along by sense of smell, by the feel of substances in the mouth and
even by the noise that food makes when we chew it.
In recent years some workers have added a fifth taste, umami, to the
other four, though western food scientists are divided about whether
it really exists or not. It has been suggested that the taste is
triggered by compounds of some amino acids, such as glutamates or
aspartates, especially the flavour-enhancing substance monosodium
glutamate.
Both the word and the concept are Japanese, and in Japan are of some
antiquity. Umami is hard to translate, to judge by the number of
English words that have been suggested as equivalents, such as
savoury, essence, pungent, deliciousness, and meaty. It’s sometimes
associated with a feeling of perfect quality in a taste, or of some
special emotional circumstance in which a taste is experienced. It is
also said to involve all the senses, not just that of taste. There’s
more than a suggestion of a spiritual or mystical quality about the
word.

Nice!
The last time I ordered a grilled seafood platter for two, it was enough to feed four. We took home the leftovers, a meal apiece.

Yumyum...it looks really good.
It's too expensive here to buy lobster and shrimps for grill. :)

I'm glad that I ate before viewing this. Seafood is my absolute favourite and my wife Linda is not into seafood. Guess what I normally order when we go out to eat? This looks so good though. Yum, yum, drool, drool.
