Kemosabe -Hillcrest

The Cohn group of restuarants has a diversified portfolio of fun eating establishments. From island prime, to indigo grill to kemosabe...or any if the other 10 or so, One thing is for sure, well two things actually, fusion confusion of some type which is good creative energy presented in an edible format, and healthy... and I mean healthy portions like they serve at beppo's or Marie calendars.
They're perfect for the value driven big portion plate thing going on in san Diego (not sure I quite get it but get your grub on).

Kemosabe, has an Asian fusion theme going on with some flared up combinations that came straight out of the other side of the world.

The starters, new Zealand mussels with garlic and Ginger in a chipotle cream sauce were yum yum yum:



The charbroiled Mexican prawns with wasabi, goat cheese and wrapped bacon were magnificent prawn mama's. Tender and meaty. Bacon always makes things taste better and I really feel for what my Muslim friends are missing out on:



The grand course, and mind you this had to be split by two people, was the whole tilapia. A whole, and I mean eyeballs, tail and all, tilapia fish stuffed with Thai basil and lemongrass, fried to perfection served twisted up on top of a jasmine rice teriyaki seared cake of a thing placed on a pedestal and dressed with udon noodles and seaweed salad:


Even the Whiskers were fried as adornment and left attached, spanning 1.5 feet in length and looking like they belonged in some carnival hat. Delicious.

The almond pie with pineapple Ginger icecream came out with a plantain stick that was rather phallic in nature... Accidentally grabbing it to break a piece revealed a cream side that was unanticipated... Ay ay ay, It is Hillcrest.



You'll need to fast before you come here, but definately some fusion powers to be had.
