an out of this world brunch

over sunday, 2 of my good friends and i decided to try out the legendary ritz carlton super brunch... this time around the guest chef was chef Pascal Barbot from 3 Michelin star restaurant l'Astrance in Paris. it's such an event, that we had to pre-book, pre-pay in advance and we were sent the 7pages of menu... yes all 7 pages of it.... just looking thru it, lance, janice and myself were just wondering in amazement at how we can possibly eat thru everything and still consume enough 2002 vintage moet rose to make our money's worth.

as the day approached... strategies from starving ourselves to gorging ourselves to bringing a doggy bag to stretching half an hour before were thrown out as suggestions.

it was really rather exciting!

then the 4th of march arrived....
ritz carlton had turned into a foodies' heaven... it was as if i had walked into willie wonka's house as well as a cooked food equivalent's house. the options were limitless... and we spent the first 30mins just walking arnd in pure amazement

starting off with just the dessert section first:


and now the savory:

a great display of pate and cold cuts


 an amazing piece of beef... which tasted just as awesome

 really pretty presentation of quail... unfortunately they were rather dried out

80 cheeses

a bowl of full of truffles as part of the salad bar


 when we weren't busy eating or drinking...


finally after 3 crazy hours... defeat

an experience of a lifetime
