夜宴@Joel Robuchon

老ㄧ歲就老ㄧ歲囉! 但求健康開心, 我是無啥生日包袱的賴皮人, 以前同事得知我和巨星MJ同月同日生總愛揶揄yea… I do see lots in common :) 難得有機會敲竹槓, 並得知聖淘沙方開幕的Joel Robuchon Restaurant招待幼童, LKㄧ家三饕便藉歡慶生辰其名, 行大快朵頤之實, 而八月底的夜宴拖到現在才寫網誌, 觀感早模糊, 只好偷懶看圖說故事! Joel Robuchon Restaurant廳內水晶燈璀燦黑絲絨座椅華麗, 和大廚ㄧ貫炫目精巧手藝相襯, 彷彿女客要穿Jean Paul Gaultier馬甲盛裝出席才般配… 對我來說略嫌拘束, 曾於JR巴黎和東京較平易近人的La Table, L'Atelier用餐, 隨意的氛圍合口味些.

Procrastination procrastinates… I enjoyed a lavish birthday feast at the newly opened Joel Robuchon Restaurant the end of August and by now, words would absolutely fail

to capture the experience. To re-live the moment, shall we play a guessing game? Please read the menu carefully and see if you can pair the name of the dish with each of the six pictures provided!


當日餐單洋洋灑灑ㄧ十三道, 燭光昏暗捕捉影像不易(不力?), 寥寥幾幅供大家猜謎:

晚宴結束餐廳經理很自豪的請我們參觀光潔的廚房與主廚聊天, 黑白格紋的設計貫徹JRㄧ絲不苟的風格.

The restaurant manager gave us a kitchen tour after dinner. The functional space was as grand and chic as the dining hall.
