Dessert was a sweet adventure, with double-boiled hashima and honey served in a hollowed-out papaya. Hashima (hasma) is translated elsewhere on the menu as "Chinese forest frog", though at first encounter with a spoon I might have called it frog snot were I not so diplomatic. It is, in fact, made from the dried fatty tissue found near the fallopian tubes of frogs. If it's new to you, Don't think about it too much; it's quite delicious once you get used to the mouth feel, especially when you stir in the warm milk and honey offered on the side.
