More details for Qiao

Okay. so I told Bear we had to take the camera and take pictures of dinner, and Bear put the camera on charge, and all was well. Then, just before we left, Bear chickened out and said he didn't really want to be taking pictures of the food in a fancy restaurant and I said what? just bring it! and he was like ahmm.. and i was like I'll take it! and then it dawned on me Bear's camera is a little big, not one of the small compact ones, and then i chickened out too, and asked Adrian to bring his (smaller) camera instead. Plus, Adrian is fearless and probably wouldn't be afraid of taking pictures of fancy food in a fancy restaurant.

And so we picked him and his camera up and drove up to Tetsuya's, which is in this lovely little heritage house in the middle of the city, with its own little ornamental lake and all... and from the moment the gate slid open to let us in, my God, it was just service service service! Lots of beautifully dressed polite well-spoken people opening doors, politely inquiring after needs, gently ushering us to our seats, pulling out chairs, laying napkins, we were in the presence of true professionals last night (ninja waiters, says Adrian).

And then i remembered that i'd left the camera in the car.

Whups. And then i thought Qiao will scream at me. And then i thought further, aiyah, i'll just bring her here next time. And that was that. :P

I'm not really sure how to describe it all, it really surpassed all our expectations, not that everything was perfect, but it was all So Incredibly Good!

Argh, i have a stomachache... Bear and i both had a really bad night last night, couldn't sleep well, probably combination of being ill, eating too much rich food and bad weather, but i promise i will write more later, with full descriptions of every single dish of beauty we were served. But before I go, let me just say one thing. TRUFFLE BUTTER!!!
