全部カウンター席、ランチタイムは店の人が慌しく、こっちまで落ち着かないけど、仕方ない。

野菜のミネストローネ、甘海老のタルタル仕立て、和牛ランプのカルパッチョ、トマトのマリネ。これは15分待たされた。。。ランチだからこんなに手間がかかる飾りは要らないんじゃないかな~美味しいけどよ。
(Minestrone, shrimp in Tartara sauce, beef Carpaccio, and marinated tomato)

牡蠣とサラダ春菊のスパゲッティ、バジリコ風味。やっぱり急いで作った感じだけど、ソースはとてもとても美味しい。キャラメルのパパロア。これはすごく美味しい。ランチコース1890円。込んでない時(いつだろう)また行きたいと思う。Spaghetti with oyster and corn marigold(from dictionary ^^;) in Basilico sauce. Caramel pudding, v. v. gd.

Yeah, this restaurant is on the 4th floor of a landmark commercial building and even though I went before the busiest lunch hour but still I had to wait for so long...especially for the cute appetizer. They actually made the appetizer in front of me and I was like "don't need to take like 15 minutes to do all those fancy decoration, just give them to me NOW!!!" I finished them in less than a minute anyway!! ^^;;;; Oh I craved for caramel at one time...caramel's bitter taste is very addictive. Now I crave for marron/chestnut...as you can tell. ^^;;;

Counter seat only eh~ The tiny 4 appertizer dishes look so cute (so tiny ^^;;;) Oyster pasta~ sounds yummy~~~ I discover that for me, Caramel pudding (or creme brulee or any fran/custard/egg pudding with caramel sauce) is like the new chocolate (which I'm over since few years ago). Dunno why I craved it constantly...^^;;;
