Busaba

Another week, another insanely beautiful restaurant opens at BSC.

Busaba exudes a calm splendor that makes it ideal for a memorable meal.

Fish maw salad. A marvelous mix of tastes and textures; light, crisp maw with fresh veggies and crunchy cashews, all tossed in a tangy, delicate dressing.

Coconut soup with chicken & mushrooms. Reasonably thick and aromatic, brimming with enough ingredients to make a hearty meal even by itself.

Steamed sea bass with garlic, ginger & onions. Firm, fresh and fleshy fish; not as piquant as some might expect, but we still devoured everything except the bones.

Asparagus with shrimp paste & prawns. Well-prepared, but not terribly thrilling.

Southern-style beef curry with peanuts & potatoes. Tender meat in a curry that wasn't as creamy as we might have preferred. Still, it struck a nice balance between being spicy enough to titillate our taste buds and mild enough to keep our digestive systems calm.

Evan & Tate Salisbury Cabernet Merlot. A fair selection of wine is available by the bottle, but there are too few choices by the glass.

One bonus: for the Christmas season, they've been playing David Archuleta's 'Christmas From The Heart' CD. So all you Arch-Angels know where to go now!

The drawbacks: iced & warm water isn't served for free, so customers have to order mineral water. Also, the food seems laden with MSG, since we were thirsty for hours.
