It’s hard not to bop one’s head to the music while diving head-first into crisp-golden arancini with molten pimento cheese centers, fresh slivers of kingfish crudo dolloped with passion fruit, and late-season tomatoes served with cheesy Texas toast that is miraculously gluten-free.
The food leans American in plating and construction with Indian flavors, like a scallop sliced into thirds swimming in cauliflower crema and okra masala, or an arresting whipped yogurt sauce built into a dreamy pavlova covering crisp pakoda chaat (spinach fritters).
The amply-portioned bing su inspired by the traditional bua loi dessert comes with four accouterments for maximum customization: chewy purple rice balls, salted egg yolk sauce, sweetened condensed milk, and Biscoff cookie crumbs.
