Fancy Shmancy


A great splurge at Xu's Restaurant. Jenny had a 500,000d voucher and we paid almost 400,000d on top of that ($45 in total)--very pricey for Vietnamese food. As in most fancy restaurants, the portions were tiny, so after several courses we were still hungry. However, they were all exquisite pieces of art constucted by Iron Chef wannabees.


The desserts were very reasonably priced but thimble sized. A smurf's durian (yup, got used to it) tiramisu, brownie with ice-cream, pandan (yuck) creme brulee, and granola-yogurt shot lets you experience the taste but not the satisfaction of a great big sloshing tummy. So we went home and had tea and cookies. And bread and butter. And maybe a steak and potatoes.
