Oh, that soup...^^;; I can't remember how that taste like. Wow I didn't know French cooked turtle soup too...

Oh I only found out from my friend later that Ogasawara sea turtles are endangered species...so that soup is expensive for a reason. Plus the traditional French way of preparing consomme soup is complicated and time-consuming. Guess I shouldn't compare it with the cheap chinese turtle soup which I never liked anyway. Also, speculation is that the hamburger is probably made from the leftover trimmings of gibier meat used for dinner courses, hence you get a taste of the otherwise expensive gibier at a cheaper lunch course. Makes sense to me...but the idea of eating hamburger, no matter what the meat is, in a expensive French restaurant is just a little hard to accept. Probably what my friend said was right, if you go to an expensive restaurant, don't order the cheapest course. ^^;;;

No no not anything like turtle jelly. ^^;;; You never had 水魚湯 before?

My goodness what a luxurious lunch~ Scrambled egg stuffed in eggshell with caviar and sea urchin -- oh with sea urchin, that's so good!

The turtle soup...is it something like...龜苓膏!?? ^^;;;

I did a search and found that..Bitoke is hungarian meatballs...^^;; I would never know that...

そんなことないよ～
コンソメスープは高級珍味っぽくて、美味しいよ。
飲んでるうちに、癖がだんだん強くなるのが面白かった。

あんまり好印象ではなかったの？
やはり、お高い・・・
