Blue Ginger

I was in Boston this past weekend and had an amazing meal at Blue Ginger in Wellesley by Ming Tsai. I normally shy away from Asian fusion since I have always walked away feeling disappointed and totally ripped off, but this place was AMAZING!!! It was a beautiful afternoon and we were sitting out on the patio, sipping cocktails and enjoying the weather. Then the food came, and what mouth-watering food it was. The braised short rib fell off the bone as soon as the fork touched it, garnished with mashed potato, raw veggie strings, and finished with an aromatic sauce. Next up was the banana leaf wrapped curry salmon, with intense flavors trapped inside the tender flesh. We were so impressed by Ming, we ordered the pork, duck, and cheeseburger Ming Bings, which are small pan fried pockets with meat wrapped inside. Now I've had my share of bings in my life, but I've never been so pleasantly surprised by the infusion of unexpected flavors! Next time you're in Boston, make sure you stop by Blue Ginger. I promise you won't be disappointed!
