ooh this weekend i went to napa valley with zeyanlimsg1985, meng kiat the bear bear, JJ pan jun jie and tian shuang who is always very shuang and nice enough to drive all of us down. Supposedly napa valley is known for its vineries and vineyard but we didn't visit them cos we reached there quite late and I didn't feel like drinking wine cos drank too much the night before. But the highlight of the day was to enjoy food in restaurant owned by a michelin awarded chef!

this is the french laundry. Ranked top 5 restaurants in the WORLD. Michelin 5 STARS. Cost per meal: $250++

apparently they grow all their ingredients at the nursery opposite the restaurant..

hmmm can feed alot of people...wait where's are the cows for steak? Is it a vegetarian restaurant?

no sight of cows or chickens here either..

Baby veggies!

Baby...I dunno wad is dat...

Apparently the people patronising the restaurant eat the flowers as well

at least there's a variety of flowers that you can choose from...

killer scenery...bring any girl here and she will be willing to die in your arms..

Just by standing beside the sign board has made me fatter...

Looks very european...

Special Pastry from Bouchon! Owned by the Michelin Chef as well! Costs $12 USD for 2 tarts...tastes really goood!

It's calledRailway Inn...converted from real train carriages!
BUT being as poor as we are we didn't eat at french laundry of course... we ate ad ad hoc...french laundry's friend...another restaurant opened by the same chef who opened the french laundry...think Armani and Armani Exchange...or McCafe and Macdonalds...okay wrong analogy...

Main Course! erm no its the bread from Bouchon...the bakery owned by the same guy! So ad hoc, Bouchon and French Laundry are actually all on the same street..

First course! Salad with dunno wad dunno wad dunno wad...apparently the french laundry serves the same dish on their menu as well and the veggies are from the nursery that we just visited!

Main Dish! Lamb steak with dunno wad dunno wad topped with dunno wad with asparagus and mushrooms and pseudo fried rice...The steak was really raw in my opinion...i only ate like a quarter of it and donated the rest to my friends...

pseudo fried rice!

3rd Course! Yakun Kaya Loti! eh no its bread with very old cheese on it (they should serve fresh stuff shouldn't they!) topped with dunno wad garlic onion thingy...

Dessert! Taste really good and sweet comes with cream also! But i dunno wad issit called...
The whole meal costs $50 which isn't too bad according to others who went but somehow i think i dunno how to appreciate it...funny was thinking about bak chor mee throughout the meal...sigh i guess i am not atas enough/ not born to become a rich guy! I think i'll just stick with my ching chong ping pong chinese food! Anyway to dancers great job for DU! Dance more if not u will become fat like meeeee.....dun say i nv warn ah...
byeeee
