Our Anniversary Dinner

Our anniversary dinner is one of the occasions I really look forward to. It's like a continuation of the holidays. It was pure indulgence. Guiltless, too.

Last year's celebration was at Lemuria. The ambience and the food were perfect for celebrating. This year, we decided to go back to our usual special place. This is why.

An assortment of cheeses and charcuterie plus my favorite dried figs to start of the meal. It is quite disappointing that the truffle honey was no longer part of the buffet. Other than that, I'd say the Cheese Atelier was quite exciting. There are just too many to choose from.

Then there's the unlimited foie gras. You get as much your conscience can take. Vic and I shared this plate.

Most importantly, their famous chocolate chip cookies and a variety of desserts. I'd be truly disappointed if the cookies were missing. It really was the perfect ending to the meal. I highly recommend pairing it with Peppermint Tea.

I purposely left out my main course. It wasn't a pretty sight. It's a good thing that we only do this a couple of time a year. This experience is just too sinful.

We've heard about the usual reseller shops that house these luxury brands. The one I can remember now is Daikokuya. I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road. I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones: Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton. There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3. I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote. You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki. I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets. I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
