JING & Comedy Show, Double Date Night idea

Here's an idea for a fun double date night south of Denver...

First stop: Jing. JING is a staple, upscale restaurant in the Denver Tech Center serving up contemporary Asian eats with a fusion bent.

We arrived at JING and we were seated in the main dining room. The aesthetic of JING is sexy with dimmed lights, white banquettes, and sheer fabric draping on the ceiling. Our server Tahir was impeccable in personality & service per usual! His energy made the four of us so excited for the great meal ahead.

For Signature Cocktails we had the Drunken Buddha. The Drunken Buddha was made with house infused Deep Eddy Citron Vodka and a small flower called the buddha button.

We took the buddha buttons out of our cocktails and chewed on them; this kicked off a numbing & tingling sensation in our mouths. The Drunken Buddha had a delightfully sweet lemonade flavor that buzzed on our tongues, such a fun cocktail.

The Hamachi Crunch Roll was made with spicy tuna & crispy tempura flakes.

This roll had amazing texture variation from the snap of the jalapeño, crunch of the tempura flakes, chew of the rice, and smoothness of the Hamachi. - delicious.

The Kobe on the Rock was served alongside ponzu-wasabi & pink himalayan sea salt.

We dipped the raw slices of Kobe beef in the sauce and cooked them on the hot rock. Cooking the meat was fun (especially on a double date); it made the meal interactive. The beef had amazing marbling and an intense meaty flavor that only prized Kobe can deliver.

The Lobster Dim Sum was made with lobster, shrimp paste, & ginger beurre blanc.

The dim sum were tender with rich flavor coming from the beurre blanc sauce. The rich sauce found balance in the sweet lobster.

The Peppercorn Tenderloin was made with red bell pepper, jalapeño, and onion - a dynamic plate of flavors with some heat.

Each piece of spicy meat had a crunchy crust and was coated in sticky sweet glaze.

The Miso Sea Bass was made with miso marinade, fresh vegetables & ginger beurre blanc.

The sea bass fillets were marinated in miso & slightly charred. The bass was 'fall-apart-under-our-forks' tender and the bass' slight sweetness complemented the savory miso.

The Honey Shrimp & Scallops were flash fried with honey glaze, red bell pepper, yellow squash, and snow peas.

The Famous Peking Duck was a 1/2 slow roasted duck with sides of leek, cucumber, hoisin sauce, & steamed bao buns. One of my favorite dishes!

The tender pieces of roasted duck with golden brown skin were so juicy. We sandwiched the duck inside the fluffy bao buns and drizzled the flavorful hoisin sauce on top, and added the fresh veggies. YUM.

Second stop: Comedy Works, only a 1 minute walk away fron Jing. We saw comic Harland Williams and some stellar opening bits. What's better than ending the night with some laughs?

Huge thanks to JING, Lawrence, & Tahir for hosting us!

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