Osh -Uzbek cuisine at La Mer
This is an interesting casual diner located at the North end of La Mer that serves Uzbek / Russian food and cuisines from around the place. They invited me to try out their food. It was a bit dimly lit is what I noticed as soon as I entered. They have a nice see-through kitchen where you can see the chefs preparing delicious meals in front of you. We started with their salads. First we had the aubergine salad . The texture of this was very different from what I'd expect from an aubergine. It wasn't squishy, but sort of firm and looked like a well cooked cube. There was some feta cheese in it too, and I really liked this one. The other one was the bahor salad . This was basically made from cucumber julienne in a yoghurt preparation. It tasted fresh but the taste wasn't something unique I'd say. The potato and mushroom vareniki is something that I really liked a lot. It had a lovely texture and was a bit juicy too; something similar to a dumpling....
