Grandest of Grand - agnès b. le pain grillé

Foody woman talk about Inaki Aizpitarte and everyone so excited.  I no know who this man is but I got excited when they say "...but dinner will be at agnès b".  They no understand, agnès b so chic (new word!) It is a place you get france clothes and food (and beautiful cake so grand!).  The teddy bear that come with cake and flower so so so so cute.   What I didn't know was I was in for much surprises...

We went to Cubus and many people there.  Some not so grand wearing clothes I no hear of.  Some may say "Just because you wear Louboutin doesn't mean you have style."  I say it should be "Just because you wear Louboutin doesn't mean you have style... Unless you carry the "Wintage" Chanel bag too."  How can anyone so lazy of not wearing everything right??  It's so close to Causeway Bay shopping anyway.  Not top top brand like Central ones but it is no difficult to buy new clothes/bags/shoes to wear if you have problem, is it??

I want menu but they say dinner is set dinner only.  Why people want set?  That is so not grand. I cannot order most expensive items to impress people. 


We sat from 7:30pm and no food for one hour.  Foody Woman Lawyer said she so hungry and want eat table.  Lawyer Man said no you no eat table because the restaurant wrap steel around table. I said, "You people so no chic!  Have you seen the Lubutin Steel Toe Shoes?  Also wrapped with steel.  That's style!" They look into space behind me.  Sigh! These people not teachable.  Aren't they lawyer in Central very grand like those in TVB drama!? 



Gourgères - cheese puffs

We wait long time and they gave us cheese ball finally .  They cute but is this one course?   They so fluffy and one bite, poof! gone.  Waiter say "Please eat when it's hot"  I blame it on Foody Woman Lawyer and Runner Foody for taking pictures with big camera.  They say they take picture quick and no more than one minute but when I ate puff it was cold.  Their one minute must be ten minutes for food!


Cevice - marinated fish.  How much cuter can it be.  They use raspberry instead of strawberry for bottom like...err... McVities digestive biscuits base for cheese cake.  Only grand grand people can think something so nice, so sweet, and so cute and help me stick with no carb after 3pm rule.  The fish crunchy and taste a little sour.  I say "Why no wasabi if this is hamachi?"  No one say anything.  Do they no understand FUSION!?

Poireaux crayons à l'encre et quinoa noir - pencil leek in ink, black quinoa.  It was black, very black.  The quinoa very chewy.  The leek look like scallion.  Still a little sour.  Interesting texture

Mini baguette.  We wait another 30 minutes no food.  Runner Foody ask for bread.  Took 10 minutes to have bread.  I think Sweet Sweet Boyfriend's homemade baguette more beautiful.  His has pointy tip (just like the heels of my new Jimmy Choos stilettos.) and the slit cut beautiful like a shade. This one look more like a rip....

Jus Ibérique, polenta et pomelos - Iberico jus, poletna & pomelo.  I saw it and said "This is so beautiful peach colour!  Sakura!"  I no know what the sheet is but the dish taste a cross of Jin Hua Ham soup in taste and Thai pomelo salad in texture.  Very interesting.  France people make it so high class.  There some soft mash inside. I said it texture like Robuchon mashed potato and the Foody said "that's Polenta!" I did not know polenta can be so soft.  Banker Foody Woman say "Ours have lots of butter but yours has margarine.  Don't worry, no fat die you."   And this is also known as "the FOURTH dish"  I should ask Sweet Sweet Boyfriend what it mean when we get home

Bouillon de canard, foie gras, réglisse et oiive de Kalamata - duck broth, foie gras, liquorice & Kalamata olive (Before broth).  Can people eat foie gras no cook?  I don't know if foie gras cooked but it so grand they put foie gras cube in bowl and pour soup over.   It is like Yunan Rice Vermicelli ("Bridge Crossing Vermicelli") when you use soup cook meat and vegetable?  Taste lots of olive and herb.

 After broth

Gummy filled?   Lawyer Foody Woman showed me her foie gras cube, so cute!  It has filling inside like beef ball at hotpot place.  She said no, it's vein.  No understand what she talks about!  Agnes b so grand. How can it be?  



Food still coming slow and we had wine. They gave everyone more wine but that's all the wine I get. I no drunk people.  Wine all different taste.  I no know because some wine no sweet but the Foody people said wine very interesting with different character.  What character are they talking about?  Why wine have character?  Shouldn't all wine be sweet?  I like sweet wine, you know?


 
Asperge blanche, couteaux, oseille et parmesan - white asparagus, razor clam & parmesan cheese.  I saw it I said, "See!  They have sashimi and wasabi!! I tell you eat raw seafood you always eat with wasabi and mayonnaise and soy sauce."  They have white ice on the food.  How they make cheese into ice?   I should ask Sweet Sweet Boyfriend to try it.

Foody Woman started laughing when she look my dish and I ask why?  She said the asparagus look very "epitome for foodporn" No know what she talk about but I think epitome is a very good word.  She properly very jealous me for having bestest dish.  Yes, You jealous die you!

Still sour taste.  I think theme tonight is sour food.  I like so much because it is getting hot. So refreshing!  


Turbot, voile de navets, Manzanilla et noix brûlée - turbot, turnip, Manzanilla & burnt walnut.  Finally some warm food.  The fish is very fat.  I start worry even no carb after 3pm, eat fat fish will fat die me.  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say no worry, the omega-3, 4, 5, and 6 will give me beautiful hair and skin.  The nut very burnt.  The turnip not very soft thin and not very crispy.  Very interesting texture

Pigeon en quatre services, chips tamarin, rhubarbe et poire - pigeon four ways, rhubarb, pear & tamarin.  Second hot dish and I no eat all.  The pigeon too raw but the leg was good.  The pear chip and rhubarb sour too.  The black thing on side of dish, I no ask what that is

Baba au rhum - I was waiting for cake but came out a white fungus (Snow ear).  I said why??  Foody people and Sweet Sweet Boyfriend said the chef must be trying out new Asian ingredients.  I say, "Why no wasabi for the raw fish if you try Asian??  Fusion, people, Fusion!"  The dessert ok but I like white fungus with papaya better

Tocino del Cielo -  How can you eat egg yolk for dessert?  And it's not cooked to hard yolk!?  Oh well, I was upset because unless Japanese egg, I no eat onset egg but this one.  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend told me just try.  This is ok to eat.  No sick or he gets me new HTC One phone.  OK, with the Beats by Dr Dre Monster and both in white?  That work for beach.

 Glace au lait ribot, herbes, beurre noisette - buttermilk ice cream, herbs & hazelnut butter. It is like frozen yogurt with mint and basil.  I say "Fusion!  This is Japanese frozen yogurt and Thai food!"  Everyone ignored me.

I was a little disappoint and very surprise because there no stool for my handbag and the service not very good.  I say agnès b. should be better because it's france shop very grand.  The staff no know the food.  When food come, we ask what the Jus Ibérique, polenta et pomelos is the fourth dish. I no know what it means and I count the menu. Ah!  Chess puff dish 1, fish 2, leek 3 and pork and polenta 4!!  I am not too stupid after all.

End of night.  Chef came out to say hello.  He's tall and no fat and cute and now all the food very good to me.  He so grand. All Foody people spoke to him.  Runner Foody said the chef wore Nike Lunarspeed Lite. It is Nike x Gyukosau. The sous chef wore Nike Zoom Elite x Gyukosau.  I know my heels but I no know there are so many sports shoes.  Aren't they all the same like the "white rice fish"!?

The evening strange.  I think agnès can do better and make sure you have stool for me next time!
