Last weekend I was able to attend Events DC’s Cherry Blast Festival at Dock 5 at Union Market. Cherry Blast was small street festival to celebrate the end of the Cherry Blossom festival, as well as indulge in some of the best East and Southeast Asian cuisine in the area. Chefs from Maketto, Thip Kao, and Daikaya, as well as others, set up stands, full of freshly-cooked dishes. I went to gorge myself and try Japanese whiskey, so the event didn’t disappoint.
Predictably, the line was nonstop for the pork ramen from Paper House, but my favorite was a tie between Bantam King’s sweet and sour fried chicken and a cherry blossom mousse/rhubarb compote donut.
