Blue Ginger

I'm slowly adjusting to Wellesley. It's a gorgeous campus and the classes/professors are amazing. Lucky, very lucky indeed. My school also happens to be situated five minutes away from a well-known restaurant, Blue Ginger, owned by Ming Tsai! It was a pricy meal, but after eating a month of cafeteria food and ramen, I had to treat myself. 


On a crisp, autumn afternoon, a friend and I walked over in our classy attire after class and enjoyed a break from Hogwarts. I ordered the Sake-Miso marinated Butterfish and she had the Panko Herb Crusted Chicken Breast (keep in mind, each dish is worth $$$$$$, so we didn't order much). My butterfish was tender and creamy (as butterfish should be), but there is really no wrong way to cook butterfish. I loved the soba noodles and the wasabi roe, sadly that dish was not enough for me come back. 

What would entice me to return is their delicious dessert. It had a warm apricot tart, almond biscotti, and a creamy vanilla bean ice cream (may be inaccurate, as the dessert menu changes with the season. I don't remember what the specific contents were. All I remember is I wanted more). It was not an amazing meal; nonetheless, I was pleased my dinner. After a few more weeks of cafeteria food, I will be back to try their other dishes. Not giving up on you, Blue Ginger.
