Been checking your stuff at Le Cool, love the site.<br /><br />@ The Happiness Project London - Sasha, it is not that expensive particularly if you stick to the zakuski dishes and vodka. I think it is an amazing experience I would highly recommend it despite the high prices. Insterestingly, I was not drunk at all, I think because it was a lunch event, we were a little more frugal with the vodka but I have heard from other bloggers who were completely smashed. I wouldn't have been able to write about it if I were! Pls try BBR, it is great!Luiz Harahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625648237398242154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620769829682448740.post-22887855123775375672010-04-26T22:21:43.827+01:002010-04-26T22:21:43.827+01:00Wow - looks great!

The only Russian meals I've had before have been incredibly heavy - suckling pig or pork with dumplings and cabbage all washed down with a bottle of vodka - this looks so much more delicate.<br /><br />As a Scot I have to ask - exactly how drunk were you by the end though??! <br /><br />Sasha @ The Happiness Project LondonThe Happiness Project Londonhttp://www.thehappinessprojectlondon.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620769829682448740.post-45337643333642543712010-04-26T21:31:25.248+01:002010-04-26T21:31:25.248+01:00Top write up Luis,

Any plans to come back to the UK? We go to Asia once per year, hopefully we will be able to see you next time we are in that part of the world.... Glad you like the post btw!

It is well worth the experience though as the place is stunning.<br /><br />@ Lori - I use a cannon lense, not quite sure the name but apparently has a large apperture which means I don't need to use flash even in the dimmest of lights. It does the job for me, but it is hardly a match to your stunning photography @ Taste with the Eyes.Luiz Harahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625648237398242154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620769829682448740.post-59233564285856813402010-04-04T15:20:38.664+01:002010-04-04T15:20:38.664+01:00Fantastic Luiz!

A bit like Thai and Laotian 'drinking food'. <br /><br />What really attracts me here is the quality of the ingredients, the careful and great looking presentation and carefully balanced flavours. And the sly sense of fun evinced by the hundreds and thousands on the trifle. A lovely touch. <br /><br />The only think likely to put me off is the sure knowledge that I could rack up an eye-watering bill here...The Grubwormhttp://www.thegrubworm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620769829682448740.post-69264330863867432822010-04-04T09:36:25.601+01:002010-04-04T09:36:25.601+01:00Not sure I could handle the vodka but the presenta...Not sure I could handle the vodka but the presentation of that food is very tempting. I love stuff in mezze style.<br /><br />Must confess though I've been bit skewed against making the effort to go to BBR since they followed me on Twitter and then unfollowed me about an hour later! "Fine! Be like that!" I thought!Sarah, Maison Cupcakehttp://blog.maisoncupcake.comnoreply@blogger.com
