\"Portobello<\/a>
Portobello & avocado tempura with parsley, parmesan, and shiso pesto mayo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Why it’s another 2014 Best Bite<\/strong>: I’m a bit of an avocado fanatic, so when I saw this tempura appetizer on Oiistar’s menu, I knew I had to make a return trip to try it. The umami in the portobello worked well with the creaminess of the avocado, and the pesto shiso mayo made a bright dipping sauce \u2013 that is, once I found it under the heavy dusting of parmesan and parsley.<\/p>\n
