A friend of mine in Mexico started a restaurant in the city of Xalapa. The place is a small and wonderful restaurant. The owner has done a careful job in creating a menu with some very innovative dishes including a wonderful shrimp dish that combines bacon and a ginger, lemon sauce. One of his desserts is a combination of balsamic vinegar and pears with onions. His attention to detail in the menu shows throughout.
His attempt, which is very successful, is to blend flavors from all over the world in new ways. On Thursday, his restaurant, Kukiaio, will celebrate is first anniversary. (the website is at Kukiaio ) That is a major milestone for any restaurant. I am sorry I will not be there to help celebrate. But if you are in Xalapa, it is a great place for a meal. If you can't be there soon, check out the menu - but be warned it start your tastebuds tingling.
