is a cool restaurant in Zürich, very modern and fashionable.  It reminds me of restaurants in Azabu, Tokyo.
One modern, high trend local girl chose this restaurants for dinner place, which was a great choice!

High ceiling, comfortably equipped table and chair, artistic flowers...

Mismatch of classical chanderia is also nice.  The hall is big and spacy, and has bar counter as well.

Here is the menu.  One whole page was a "menu for a day".  I like the restaurants which has special menu every day.  That means, they have the best selection for each days.

This is what I have chosen as appetizer.  "Summer Ice Salad" was served with quoter of fresh lettuce, mango and beets with strawberry sauce.  It was crispy and dressing was little bit sour.

Another appetizer.  Good presentation and healthy!  These are red cabbages and grapefruits.

My main dish was light fried fish with vegetables.  The fish was crunchy and salty.  It was good but flavor was little bit strong.  White fish is delicate so the balance with sauce is very important.

Another healthy dish!  Light sauteed tuna with salads.  Perfect for those groumet but health consious people.

Dessert was also sexy.  Good stuff in small portion..  Which is not normal in Switzerland  Often the case, huge cake is served but I could enjoy how it look and also taste sweets a little bit after a big meal.

Overall, the restaurant is highly recommendable for trendy girls group, of course for romantic date and also a business dinner.  What I could add is that the service was also super friendly and helpful!

and everybody satisfied...!

I was realllllly looking forward to this date, both positive and negative.  Last Saturday, we had a visit of a couple, a girl is a winnter of famous cook show in Switzerland!  That means, she cook the best in this country!!

 

Last time when she invited us, she treated us with such a perfect course menu.  Salad was tied with cute red ribbon, (good presentation!) and even a dessert was cooked on the spot.

 

So, I knew I cannot satisfied her with western food since she knows EVERYTHING!  I have no choice than treating her with Asian food!  I was even asking my husband to postpone her visit until I receive a box from my mom, filled with Japanese sauces and ingredients.

 

So here come a couple with lovely pink roses!  Ohhhhh, huge!!

 

 

And my appetizer was ready to be served!!  My favorite Namaharumaki!

 

 

 

Ms. Chef was curious about rice paper.  Yes, so far I've never found rice paper in Switzerland.  I really like this harmony of Namaharumaki rolling veggies, shrips and hams.

 

 

 

This is OBORO TOFU.  Tofu served with poached egg.  Very delicate dish.

 

The course was followed by Wang Tan soup, spicy Tofu and pork fried and Curry potato.  We kept Japanese style dining, pouring foods on rice like DOMBURI.

 

 

 

Dinner was finished succesfully.  Super chef is such a heartwarming lady and she said everything I cook is very good, even if I made everything wrong.  But I still think what was the best through the evening was chocolate mouce brought by her as a dessert.

I love Friday night.  Dash back to home where my husband wait and cook dinner to enjoy private time after long busy week.

Today's menu was gorgonzora pasta.  We have plenty of cheese in fridge so somehow have to consume it!  Add milk and cream to butter and wait until it boils.  Add chopped cheese in pan and cook for a while.  Add boiled water from pan boiling pasta.  Today, I add some broccolis as well to make it a little bit healthier.  Toss boiled pasta and now just eat as early as possible!  Freshness is the most important element to enjoy good pasta.  With some healthy veggies, thick cream pasta is more delicious.

A little bit heavy meal was perfect to enjoy Friday night just two of us.
