It's been awhile since I've blogged about a restaurant in my hometown, Las Vegas! Being a new parent has made me busy bee, so I have been putting up quick posts on the @CheerUpWithFood Instagram here and there instead. I will continue blogging when I get the chance though!
Over the weekend I dined at Other Mama. Since I'm a big seafood lover, it was hard to decide what I wanted to try. As you can see on Daily Specials, they offer an interesting variety of seafood:

| Daily Specials! |
They also serve beer, wine, and cocktails:

| Try saying the name of this brewery seven times |
In Vegas it's not often that you see Hush Puppies (cornbread balls) on a menu so I had to try their rendition. These appetizers were soft, fluffy and it's subtle sweetness hit the spot:

On to the raw delights:
 |
| Amberjack Crudo- garnished with meyer lemon, radish, and chives |
There were four types of oysters being served as the Daily Specials so we tried one of each:
 |
| Wico Mico, Hammersly, Pickering Pass, and Calm Cove oysters with wasabi cocktail, rosemary mignonette, ponzu salsa, and pickled pepper & habanero |
Their Oyster Shooters were like a seafood medley! I wish I could slurp 20 more of these:

| Oyster Shooters with uni and ikura |
A refined ceviche dish:
 |
| Live Clam Ceviche with Sweet Potato Chips |
This was the first time I ate tostada bread perfectly crisp and the lobster and its garnishes were quite flavorful:

| Maine Lobster Tostada |
Oh my sweet tooth! We were surprised with Honey Miso and Nutella Ice Cream, both made from scratch:
 |
| I never tasted ice cream so soft like this in a long time! These could be confused with gelato |
Eating at Other Mama reminded me how much I miss the food in Japan and I enjoyed how they infused flavors from other cuisines into their dishes! Thank you Ken for telling me about this place!
