It started off with the place settings and the menu...Simone (Nadia's son) even used a font to evoke Thailand!
Jeremy and I sneaked into the kitchen to make sure everything was going well.
 |
| Shrimp croquettes |
 |
| A wee bit of the rice |
 |
| Kung and Laura hard at work! |
 |
| Some of the more than 150 spring rolls |
 |
| Kung still feeling relaxed |
 |
| They even found Thai beer! |
And then the food came out. Some of the pictures aren't beautiful because I started eating or otherwise spoiled the look. When the food looks (and smells!) that good, it's hard to remember to take photos!
 |
| We actually started with two of each. Yum! |
 |
| Juggling plates with steaming soup! Fabrizio the great! |
 |
| Coconut chicken soup. It was the best I've ever had. |
 |
| James enjoying the decorations |
 |
| Rice with shrimp. |
 |
| Kung peeking out from the kitchen |
 |
| Bis! An Italian "thing" is to bring around seconds of the various courses. That way, you get as much of the things you like as you want to eat, and it minimizes their leftovers. I think Jeremy had 4 or 5 servings of spring rolls and soup. |
 |
| Florence came after swimming, so she had a bit of catching up to do. Fabrizio was affronted because I gave her soup (she was cold!) before she'd had the antipasto (the spring rolls). |
 |
| Jim and Sharon looking cute! |
 |
| Ashley being silly |
 |
| The calamari was SO tender. Very strong flavors, and very nice. I couldn't finish mine (I wasn't the only one at our table in that boat) so we got a container. It's a Rubbermaid-type, very chichi, that I will have to take back when we have finished with it! |
 |
| Kung feeling proud while we clapped! |
 |
| Dessert! Cake from Pianegiani |
 |
| Nadia and Kung |
 |
| Nadia and Kung cutting the cake. |
 |
| A little private wave from Kung! |
 |
| And fruit for dessert, since clearly we're still hungry... |
Love,
Alexandra
