Our friends Mike and Erin got married in Vegas this past weekend! Following a fabulous wedding ceremony which featured the couple driving into the chapel in a pink cadillac and being serenaded by Elvis, we headed to the MGM Grand's Japonais for a multi course feast. The couple picked the menu themselves, and it was absolutely perfect. This was one of the best meals I have had, and definitely the best meal I have had in Vegas!
Here's what we got:
Crispy Shrimp and Salmon Roll: panko shrimp roll topped with marinated salmon
Spicy Mono: Spicy octopus roll topped with spicy tuna tartar and sweet unagi sauce
Hawaiian Hamachi: Thinly sliced yellowtail in a sesame soy yuzu vinaigrette
Lobster Spring Rolls: with mango relish and blood orange reduction (forgot to take a picture of this one!)
The "Rock": thinly sliced marinated New York strip steak cooked on a hot rock presentation
Ahi Tuna Steak: grilled over roasted scallion potato puree, tempura maitake mushrooms and a wasabi glaze
Filet Mignon: with uni butter, white miso truffled potato puree and grilled asparagus
Salmon Japonais: nori skin encrusted atlantic salmon, sweet shrimp, oyster-leek stew and curry oil
Apple Toban Yaki: red and green apples with ginger sugar crumble and honey vanilla ice cream served in a hot clay pot
Ginger Mousse Cake: ginger chocolate mousse cake with raspberry sauce and gold leaf
And did I mention there were unlimited drinks? Needless to say, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves!
