More tongue: A flashback from Cafe Hiro

July 27th, 2008, 2:05 pm · 2 Comments · posted by Kat "I eat 'til my pants hurt" Nguyen

Cafe Hiro in Cypress

Jen’s lengua post brought back a lingering memory from Cafe Hiro in Cypress. There, chef Hiro Ohiwa churns out some delectably inventive Franco-Italian-Japanese fare, including this savory beaut: Beef Tongue Stew. It’s a sophisticated take on a rustic offering — a thick, luscious slab of tongue in a shimmering pool of red wine reduction. The meat is so buttery tender you won’t even need a knife.

Don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it. ;)

    I just tried it this past weekend. And it is now my favorite dish at Cafe Hiro! It is so tender, that it melts in my mouth! The sauce is also very rich and savory. It is a must try!

    Winni,

    Mmm, glad you got to try this!! I definitely need to return soon. I love the Peking Duck with the sweet buns, too. And the appetizer of fresh mozzarella with seared tuna, fun combination. And the panna cotta. Oh the panna cotta.
