Fish Out of Water (Into Your Plate)

Monday, May 5th, 2008

As you enter the restaurant, the white walls create a breath of serenity like watching the reflection of the sky on calm waters.  Wall pillars have black and white photos that have a stamp or postcard effect.  Silver curled tube snake serves as the holder of blue LED lights.  The kitchen has big circular windows, which give you a see-through what’s going on inside the hot area.  It reminded me of an aquarium.  The ceiling was designed with waves, which creates a ripple appearance.  One wall had mounted square paintings.  There are two different sets of tables and chairs, the long tables with blue and green (aqua color) leather seats, while the single tables have abaca-weaved chairs.  All tables are covered with brown Manila paper and a single white tulip in a clear vase is placed neatly on top.  The courteous wait staff was duly clad in blue uniform.

I noticed that people only started coming in at 730pm, which is quite slow for a Saturday evening and for a restaurant that has good reasonable food.
