Great dinner @ Blackbird
My fiance' and I went to Blackbird last Friday night. @ Michelin rated one star restaurant, the menu looked sophisticated and amazing and the decor was minimalism and simple.
Overwhelmed with choices, we decided to try something different that night and stayed away from the traditional entrees like steak, chicken, fish, lobster. We order the suckling pig for appetizer and creamy mussels soup. They were really savory and delightful. For entrees we got the lamb saddle and rabbit saddle, the traditional game animals that are common on Chicago restaurant menus. All came in small but decent portion and great presentation. We liked the lamb but we LOVED the rabbit dish! The meat was so tender, wrapped with crispy fried skin. It was definitely the best rabbit dish I've had.
We order White Chocolate Mousse and Soft Valrhona Chocolate for dessert, but we also got a free bonus dessert for the small incident during the meal (not worth mentioning). They were all great quality! Price-wise, for a Michelin one star, this is relatively inexpensive.
Strongly recommended!

I love Häagen-Dazs Ice Creams!
If you're an ice cream fan like me, you had probably tried many flavors of the Häagen-Dazs ice cream. For some reason I had always prefer non-fruity flavors, like chocolate, vanilla, coffee to mango, banana, raspberry etc.
Recently I have been absolutely crazy for their limited edition new flavors (pictures below), they are really good with hitting the market in correspondence with the food trend - such as salted caramel, I can't say how much I've seen this twist on dessert menus; I particularly like that and Vanilla bean espresso, try it out and let me know which is your favorite!
