July 27th 2016: Checking Out More Places in Lexington

We were in Lexington this evening, and decided to check out Tres Petite Creperie, a small but nice new French cafe in town.

We got a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice

and the Citron Crepe (fresh lemon curd, fresh raspberries drizzled with raspberry sauce and whipped cream),

which was a tad too sour for our liking. We might still come back to try out their other stuff though.

Still hungry, we headed nearby to Daikanyama, a pretty small but decent Japanese restaurant with some interesting stuff on the menu.

After our edamame starters which were lightly salted,

we got the Sunny Maki (pumpkin tempura, avocado, raspberries with chef's yuzu sauce),

the Ebi Chili (spicy sauteed shrimp with bird nest)

and the Ochazuke (rice served with broth in tea kettle with sake (salt broiled salmon)).

This last dish involves pouring a tea kettle of broth over a bowl of rice,

effectively making it a delicious rice soup,

the best dish of the night, the soup being really flavorful and perfecting the dish.

The shrimp was not bad too because of the crispy shell, but the roll tasted a little weird because of the yuzu sauce, as expected.

For dessert, we got the Green Tea Crepe Cake with Ginger Ice Cream.

I did not take to the ginger flavor, and the crepe itself had a little too much salt to it, making the dessert taste weird.

Overall though, I'm willing to give this place another shot in the future because of the interesting stuff on the menu
