i'm not a fan of seafood and i guess asian a cultures eat a lot of it and prepare it in some 'weird' ways, at least weird to us americans and etc.. i'm more of a chicken/beef/pork type-a person.. but I do try to change my opinion of things by trying new things.. i've tried sushi before, was a bad experience.. felt like i was on fear-factor, trying to hurry up and swallow it but i coudlnt . the dishes, although looked elegant, i coudlnt imagine ordering some of the stuff (like the eel dish, although yams I R fan of) | ||

 ... I love eel. I don't think I would be a big fan of French restaurants (never been to a super nice one), but I think that one would be amazing. Thanks for the awesome pictures and very well done review. | ||

Dunno if the sommelier helped you to choose but the Crozes Hermitage 2000 is a great value. I am a little disappointed by the deserts though. There are plenty of "only" 1 Michelin star restaurant who offer something else than the basic Crème Brûlée. 5/5 . I'll have a look to your previous blog entries. Have you been to the other Shanghai heavy hitters like M on the Bund? Whenever I'm in Shanghai I never really want to eat western food and just stick to my Jia Jia Tang Bao and Xiao Yang Shen Jian. | ||

I think it's the case for certain/most high/luxury/fine-dining places. Of course there are Brazilian steakhouses and even high-end steak houses where you pay a lot but get a lot of food but when people think of $50+ per person meals I think they think of these multiple small samplers. | ||

Most high end restaurants work on this type of system. You pay a shit ton and you get small servings but you get many different things to try. Most of the time you can expect an 8-12 course meal in high end restaurants so the servings have to be small or you'll be too full to try all of it. Trust me, it's more than enough food sir. | ||

Its just a high end dining thing. as an example, here is a trip report from the #1 rated restaurant in the world (incidentally one that is in Scandinavia) and look at their portion size http://foodsnobblog.wordpress.com/2009/06/20/noma-copenhagen/ | ||

It's about 76 dollars for the set meal, plus 10% mandatory tipping. With wine, it was about $90-95$ per person. I think the meal was actually not bad in terms of "bang for the buck" comparative to a lot of similar venues in Tokyo (I feel that a lot of the highly-rated restaurants in Ginza are severely overpriced). I highly recommend it for those who are around the region. On May 26 2010 00:44 lixlix wrote: There's Robuchons all over the world. I really think you should go to L'Osier since that one is uniquely Tokyo. Here is someone else's review http://www.luxeat.com/my_weblog/2009/11/losier-tokyo.html I really want to do a dining trip in Tokyo. Thanks for the link. I might consider "Rogue" (not sure if it's lunch or dinner) since it's actually pretty decent value. One thing I'd like to mention is that even though Robuchon and Beige are "chain" restaurants, they vary greatly depending on the region. I think it's still worthwhile to see what these chefs can do with fresh Japanese ingredients, given how good local produce and meats taste. On May 25 2010 23:41 chongu wrote: are you rich?

I actually said to myself "I'm just going to look at the pictures" but the pictures were so good I ended up reading the blog entry too  Thanks Chill On May 26 2010 00:04 Smix wrote: Absolutely love all your food blogs!! 5/5 and <3 smix | ||

You've been on vacation like forever and a day  I should blog about the Kaiseki Ryōri I had in Osaka one day; Something that I will never have again in my life. At least not with my own money, ahem. | ||
