Can someone please speak English?

An invitation to dinner came from My Friendly Neighborhood Prime Broker, on account of their big boss passing through town. I was asked to recommend some places for the occasion, and after looking through a number of restaurants in Central offering menus within their official budget, I sent along a list of 5.

I was secretly hoping that they would choose one of the two places on the list that I've never been to, but we ended up at Plaisance by Mauro Colagreco. My last visit earlier this year was on the day before they received their Michelin star - with Mauro himself in the kitchen - and the food as well as execution was already much improved. I was hoping that they would at least maintain those standards, because we know Konishi Mitsuru (小西充) can cook. The question is whether his team would let him down.

Mindful of the expense budget, and wanting to cut down on my intake, I was more than happy with the four course menu offered.

Green apple and blood sausage macaroon - if you work at a restaurant bearing Mauro Colagreco's name, you should know that this is a macaron (with one 'o') and not a macaroon (with two 'o's) - as they are very different things. The ganache had something refreshing and crunchy inside, which I suppose was greeen apple... As I detected some cumin, I wonder if we had morcilla and not boudin noir.
