That makes my the toast I am currently eating so boring and unappetizing. That food looks absolutely delicious!!!! I am glad you got to enjoy such a fantastic meal!

It all looks fab!
About the teahouse - it is probably worth booking if you want to go for dinner in the evening - it was busy when we were there but we were only 2 so after a drink we got a table - I think it was a week night though, during the day just for tea I am not so sure you'd need to book. It really is the most beautiful building!!

Oooh, that looks so good! I guess the executive chef was trained under Frank Bonano (of Mizuna...to die for if you've never been!) so he must be Wonderful. They did a big spread on him in 5280. I wanted to go then, and I REALLY want to go after seeing your pics!

I'm so glad that I read this after I ate lunch, or I would have been very disappointed...it didn't hold a candle to this fine meal.
