Our dinner @ a Michelin Star restaurant in Edinburgh called 21212 Paul Kitching started at 8 pm and ended at almost 11 pm. It was long. I wished we started at 6 pm.
At last the G7 are complete, we can start eating.

Clockwise from left: Roger, Elmer, Boy, Yen, OMB, Edmund, and Rolly.
Let’s talk about the food.
The head waiter said this dish is to make us even hungrier. He was half serious and half joking.
This is called Amuse Bouche. This is usually not included in the menu but is served gratis according to the chef’s preference.
Cheese and Froth amuse bouche
The cups and saucers were made by Villeroy & Boch from Germany. Am glad, otherwise I will give them a failing mark if their china is not from Europe.
See? The owner is fond of butterflies.
Shiraz red wine for them, Coke regular for me.
Cheers to good life, good food and good company.
Cheesy Cornfed Chix with creamy courgette and chive compote. Don’t ask me to elaborate ha I just copied that from the menu. Basta chicken yan at malambot. It’s very good actually.
Nung araw, pag nakita ng mama ko na ang ulam namin ay may bula, ang ibig sabihin ay panis na yun. Pag bumubula, meron ng bacteria. Itatapon na nya agad kasi baka kami magtai. Ngayon iba na ang panahon. Ang mga chef sinasadya talaga na lagyan ng bula yung pagkain. Froth daw. Yung amuse bouche puro bula, tapos eto rin. Kung narito ang kaluluwa ng mama ko, kakalabitin ako nun para sabihin na huwag ko yang kainin at baka sikmurain ako.
Miss YYY with the frothy dish.
This next dish is called Crab, Celeriac, Caviar, Scallop. When my daughter turned 4 months old, I started giving her Celerac. Eto kaya yung ingredients nito?
Let’s open. Meron na namang bula. Kung puro bula ang kakainin namin, hahanginin ang aming tyan. Maya-maya lang puro utot ang aabutin namin.
Favorite ko ito tulis at haba pero malambot naman. This is supposed to be the scallop but it looks like a carrot.
Caviar
Oh no, meron na namang bula! Except for my daughter, the 6 of us are approaching the age of pala-utot. Ang mga matatanda kahit walang kinakain na bula, laging hinahangin ang tyan. Eh what more kung puro bula ang kakainin namin. Nay ko mamaya para kaming may musiko.
to be continued.
