Other side of the world

FINALLY!

We finally dined at ChoLon tonight. Now, we know what your thinking. “ChoLon, that ain’t Mexican.” Well, you’re correct. Even though today is Cinco de Mayo we just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to one, celebrate the marriage of our friend’s Elizabeth and Matt (we did miss their wedding because we were running The BIG D), and two, try a new restaurant.

In our opinion we feel as though you can celebrate Cinco de Mayo all weekend, which we plan to do with lots of guacamole and Pacifo.

But back to dinner.

ChoLon, which was featured in Bon Appetit a few months ago has had us ohhhh so intrigued. ChoLon, meaning “big market”, is named after the largest Chinese-influenced market in Saigon, Vietnam or at least that’s what the website says. The idea behind the food says Chef Lon Symensma, is to offer lunch and dinner options inspired by traditional Asian dishes.

JAZZ HANDS!!

We started with drinks. Hello, champagne!

Appetizers: We shared some pork belly skewers with mustard ginger, crab rolls and beef tartar. So delish.

Entree: Halibut and Veal Cheeks. All we can say is heaven.

We were impressed with ChoLon. Can’t wait to go back!

Tomorrow is a big day. Mr. B and we have a ski event at A-Basin all day. Remind us to bring our sunblock. K?

Nite!
