Tomato Ice Cream

Time and time again, I talk about how much I love Yoshii’s ability to assemble the perfect food formula by using local fresh ingredients.

Tomato ice cream with honey, shaved almond, deep fried mint leaf and dehydrated tomato chip

So it looks strange, but it’s perfectly balanced. I remember the last time I ate something similar was a sliced tomato appetizer in a monastery in Beijing, where they had marinated the tomato in sugar syrup. Chilled tomato actually complements sweetness very well. The deep fried mint gives it just enough texture. It’s adventurous, but it’s not strange, playing with flavours that we are all very similar with, just in a different combination.

The Garfish sushi, which was rolled into a coil was a cute touch.

    @Cathardian - I have a Sony N1, it’s been very good to me for the past 2 years. I don’t even think Sony sells them anymore since it’s so old.

    such an interesting combination… tomato ice cream is definitely worth a try. I know my grandfather likes to add a drop of some kind of oil and then sprinkle sugar on his tomatoes before he eats it but I haven’t inherited that appreciation. I like my tomatoes without sugar… a little stubborn? haha
