The first day is officially a client’s day so even our meal is charged on them. 😀 Our producer been to this casual New York restaurant before and brought us there.
Mine: Pan-Roasted Foie Gras (very oily but heavenly), Maine Sea Urchin Spaghetti (so fresh, sauce so flavored) and my dessert Steamed Orange Polenta Cake with Pomegranate Sorbet. *O* (my god I haven’t had pomegranate since I was little in HK~~)
Others: Endive Salad and Chatham Cod
Slow-Roasted Sirloin, Crispy Chocolate Gateau, Caedamon Icecream
Everything is delicious and the menu is unique. By ‘casual’ of course meaning a more loosen up but still go-out-at-night no jean attair type of slight dress-upsy vibe that are not common in LA ^^;;; It has a nice New York scene. And the price is still $$ level, because this restaurant is actually a spin-off from a way more highend restaurant called simply “Craft.” It’s in here that I experienced the ‘shaking’ of the subway underground. Most 1st floor in every building will feel the shake and noise of the subway train underneath.
The foie gras and sea-urchin pasta look amazingly! The crispy choco cake looks interesting too. Wonderful free meal you guys got!!
Were you nervous being in the NY scene?? How is the atmosphere like?
Yeah once I heard about it being ‘free’, I immediately change my mind and getting the foie gras ^^;;; I felt a bit conscious of wearing jeans…I only brought this one crappy pair of jeans and rough looking boot, I envied people wearing long dresses and pointy heely boot XOOOO (I only brought a tiny luggage…)
hey that’s so nice that the meal is on the client!! do you get all 3meals on them? is that regular practice in the US (;□;)!?
I know…so nice..so do all our taxi $, hotel $, plane $, breakfast $…all on client~ ^o^ Only on the first day though as the 2nd and 3rd day was my own extended schedule.
