JING

JING is a sexy, upscale restaurant in the Denver Tech Center serving up contemporary Asian eats. Myself & the girls were invited in for a 5 Course Tasting Menu led by Executive Chef, Thomas Griese.

We arrived at JING and we were seated in the main dining room - there was a bottle of Devant Champagne, Brut Rose waiting for us.

The Devant Rose had a lovely pink color and strawberry aroma. On the palate it was lively and fruity.

For cocktails we had the Ride the Dragon.

The Ride the Dragon’s came to our tables electric pink & bubbling. They were made with dragon fruit, lychee & sake.

Our server Tahir was a gem per usual; he had fantastic energy and made sure we had absolutely everything we needed during the tasting. JING Owner, Lawrence & Manager, Kayla ensured our dinner ran smoothly. Lawrence & Kayla stopped at every table making sure that each JING customer was having the best experience possible. Executive Chef, Thomas Griese flew in from JING Las Vegas to run the 5 Course Chef Tasting Menu. Thomas has studied under renowned chefs including Thomas Keller & Andre Rochat. His culinary prowess was well showcased in the 5 courses.

For the Amuse Bouche we had Hudson Valley Foie Gras Mousse Royalé layered with Late Harvest Riesling Wine, & Vanilla Apple Compote.

The foie gras mousse was ultra smooth & rich; it tasted like a salty butter with a delicate meat flavor. The Riesling added acidity on the tongue while the apples added in sweetness with a light chew in texture.

For our First course we had Japanese A-5 Kagoshima topped with Osetra Caviar, Citrus Ponzu, & 24 Karat Gold.

Look at how beautiful that presentation was - 24 Karat Gold hello. The Japanese A-5 Kagoshima's well-balanced marbling made for a magical piece of nigiri. The beef had serious umami flavor while still being sweet.

For our Second course we had a Fresh Fish Selection that was Chef Thomas' Choice Omakase.

Both the tuna & white fish were fresh & bright.

For our Third course we had Crispy Cantonese "Style" Duck, Salade du Marche, Red Grapefruit, Pine Nuts, & Plum Hoisin Vinaigrette.

The duck salad was fabulous. All of the ingredients made for a delicious pairing of bitter and sweet flavors with the added in savoriness of the duck. The texture variation here was everything - tender salad greens, juicy grapefruit, crunchy pine nuts and crisp duck.

For our Fourth course we had the choice Bone-In Filet Mignon, Miso Chilean Sea Bass or Grilled Colorado Lamb Chops. I had the Bone-In Filet Mignon served with Wild King Trumpet Mushroom, Asparagus, Charred Pearl Onion, & Maître D' Hôtel Butter.

The Bone-In Filet Mignon was gorgeous & decadent. The Maître D' Hôtel Butter sexily melted into the filet giving it a richer flavor profile. The lemon, parsley & mustard in the compound butter mixed with beef’s juiciness made for a symphony of savory bites.

For our Fifth course we had Triple Layer Chocolate Mousse Cake made with Layers of Dark and White Chocolate, Raspberry Coulis, & Mint.

Yes please. This dessert was a trifecta of chocolate deliciousness and each bite was heavenly. The chocolate mousse was fluffy & full of rich chocolatey flavor.

Hats off to the Chef - what a meal! Huge thanks to JING, Thomas, Lawrence, Kayla, Tahir & all of the JING staff for hosting us. We had the best time and will be back very soon.

Check it out babes and let them know that denv.her. sent you! xx
