Long lunch Bistro Pattaya

Long lunch Bistro Pattaya

Long lunch Bistro Pattaya

Long lunch Bistro Pattaya was a 5 hour session including 3 bottles of red wine. We should had have the brains to stop at 3 but by then common sense went out the window. ๐Ÿ™‚ My entre above is fairly easy to pick, prawns & avocado for B320, or $14 AUD. My friend Mark Yagalla hade the mixed platter of cheese & cold cuts for B480, or $21 AUD.

Italian red wine

Long lunch Bistro PattayaFrom Collio in Italy, very smooth indeed at B1,750, or $77 AUD.

Grilled Australian Wagyu

Long lunch Bistro PattayaMark ordered this very tender Australian steak priced at B790, or $35 AUD.

Pork brawn

Bistro Pattaya Instead of a main course I ordered a 2nd entree for just under $10 AUD.

Second bottle of red was a Pinot Noir

Long lunch Bistro Pattaya AOC Valais 2017 from Switzerland, priced at B1850, or $81 AUD.

Time for desert

Long lunch Bistro PattayaCaramel custard was very good at B180, by now however I’m starting to slow down. ๐Ÿ™‚

Chocolate mousse for Mark

Bistro PattayaLooks good & priced at B240, or $10.50 AUD.

Things are starting to get messy

Long lunch Bistro Pattaya Mark said “hang the expense” lets order another bottle of red. This ridiculous idea certainly guarantees us entry into the “Idiots R us” Club. ๐Ÿ™‚ It was a 316 Traluna Toscana for B1,180, or $52 AUD & it was a little disappointing, or perhaps we were too drunk to know the difference. ๐Ÿ™‚

Here is the story of our 5 hour marathon lunch.

Long lunch Bistro Pattaya A lazy $320 AUD, well, after all Xmas only comes once a year. ๐Ÿ™‚

Kamimura Michelin Starred Restaurant

Kamimura Michelin Starred RestaurantKamimura Michelin Starred Restaurant is located in Niseko Hokkaido, Japan’s premier ski resort. The owner/chef is Yuichi Kamimura spent his early years in his parents’ restaurant. Finally when he met renowned chef Tetsuya Wakuda in Sydney, he became fascinated by both Testuya’s culinary philosophy and proficiency.

Take plenty of money. ๐Ÿ™‚

Kamimura Michelin Starred Restaurant My good friend Hamish Elton & his colleague Paul Elmsie are not shy about spending a fortune on food & wine. They enjoyed the 11 course degustation menu with the appropriate wines for a mere 63,000 Yen, or $850 AUD.

Chef’s Degustation   18,000 yen per person

The menu is a chef’s ‘Omakase’ tasting menu, as a showcase of Hokkaido ingredients and challenging to some new tastes, exploring the treasure of food.

Such a romantic setting

Niseko Ski Resort Japan Hamis, what a shame it was just you & Paul. ๐Ÿ™‚ 

Strawberry & black pepper tart

Kamimura Michelin Starred Restaurant Hamish took most of these photos on his Google Pixel 3 phone, thus the high quality. I’m only guessing the names of certain dishes so I could be wrong.

 I have no idea which dish this is….

Kamimura Michelin Starred Restaurant I’ll have to see if Hamish can remember.

I’m betting this is the Wagyu

Kamimura Michelin Starred Restaurant Plus I bet it tastes sensational.

How good does this look

Kamimura Michelin Starred Restaurant If it tastes half as good as it looks it will be terrific. ๐Ÿ™‚

Quite a small serving

Kamimura Michelin Starred Restaurant Lucky there are eleven dishes in total. ๐Ÿ™‚

The magical mystery tour continues

Kamimura Michelin Starred Restaurant Works of art everyone of them.

Could this be the pumpkin ravioli?

Kamimura Michelin Starred Restaurant Your guess is as good as mine. ๐Ÿ™‚

Another mystery dish
