As always the case with me, the martini makes an appearance.

Duck fat fries. YES. If you do go here, do yourself a favour and get these.

The duck. So tender and delicious. I wish there was a bit more vegetable going on here though.

Mixed seafood plate. Well cooked but it just didn't feel like enough food.

Yummm, this was good. Worst food blogger ever. I can't remember exactly what it was. I blame the martinis.

Sometimes it’s fun to pretend to be rich for a day.

My friend and I got all classy at the New York Grill in the Park Hyatt Tokyo where much of Lost In Translation was so famously filmed.

Yes, this place is expensive, but it’s nice to do these kind of things now and then. Personally, I was more thrilled about the martinis and duck fat fries than anything else.
