The Dinner Party Project went on a field trip to KASA Orlando, located in the heart of downtown Orlando! 12 lucky Guests were treated to 4 Extraordinary Courses, plus a craft cocktail and a white wine pairing. We were so impressed with their culinary references from around the world!
White Fish Ceviche-Escolar: watermelon, red onion, cherry tomato, yellow bell pepper, cilantro, sriracha. The escolar is cured in a combination of lemon and lime juice, and sriracha.
The evening brought together a really fun bunch of people to gather around the table. So many different types of people sat in these seats. There was such an easy fun relaxed vibe, for such a diverse crowd of people.

The FOOD...the FOOD! Gosh everything was so delectable. From the Ceviche to the Shrimp to the Salmon. And don't even mention the Dessert! It was ALL Delish.
Shrimp a la Plancha: La Plancha is a reference to a griddle or a grill that we use to cook the shrimp. This simple shrimp dish is elevated to new heights by using Kasa’s house made coconut red curry sauce with lime and butter.
When we weren't stuffing our faces with all the delicious courses, we got to hear from the Head Chef Amir Maleki, which we LOVED getting to know! He puts so much thought and details into the food at KASA.

Pan Seared Salmon: The salmon is seasoned with salt and pepper, then pan seared. It is paired with a creamy ratatouille risotto, containing roasted eggplant, sautéed zucchini, and roasted tomatoes. The risotto rests in a sweet red pepper consumme (broth), and the salmon adorns the dish.

The HIT of the evening was: Wrecked Apple Pie served with Salted Caramel Gelato. So delightful everyone was dreaming of seconds. Will have to go back for more ASAP.
