SINGAPORE, HELLO!

February 16, 2014February 19, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Singapore, the city of technology is not only known for the Infinity pool located at the top of Bay Marina but…Geoducks! Did you know something like this exist? I don’t know how to describe it- sticky, with a shell and shaped like one of the male’s organ… The sashimi made of it at the Long Beach restaurant was delightful. And this place is the best restaurant serving seafood in Singapore for about 70 years… If you visit to Singapore, you need to come here for some culinary experience. By the way- this place is crazy and so Avatar! My hotel (Marina Bay Sands) and the Super Trees look impressive.

Paris: Bar 8

January 4, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Intimate, exclusive and very, very chic, Bar 8 is the perfect place to enjoy a drink. Beautifully designed with a dramatic marble bar as its centerpiece, Bar 8 is located on the ground floor next to the discreet entrance to Sur Mesure by Thierry Marx. With low glass topped tables dotted with tiny lights and wood walls inlaid with Lalique crystals like delicate raindrops, the décor is stunning. Low lighting, gentle music and impeccable service create a seductively sophisticated ambiance. This is Bar 8 in Mandarin Oriental Paris.

Paris: Costes

My visit to the Costes Hotel & Restaurant on Rue St.Honore was one of the luckiest ones… I met Ekaterina Mukhina, Vogue Ukraine’s contributor and stylist! I am really happy because I love her work and style … In other words, first wish of 2014 came true. So, as you see- Costes is the cool place in Paris. With it’s old-fashioned interior and huge garden patio, it contains a restaurant, five-star hotel, perfumerie and flower store. The food in the restaurant is magnifique! The Thai Chicken Rolls are my old-time friends, the delicious spicy tuna tartar is served in new Atlantic way and the best dessert on Earth is served here- wild strawberries with whipped cream!

Milan: Paper Moon

Paper Moon is a restaurant in Milan, that in reality is not doing anything special- it’s simply delicious and all products are fresh and hand made! The famous Italian dish made of beef slices in Tuna sauce was so good, I was like it’s best thing I ever ate! And the Pizza? Again best in the world. The dough was so delicate, and the cheese so dissolving in mouth! The taglioni with beefragout are in my dreams till today! This restaurant with dozens of film posters of biggest super stars like Johnny Depp and Marilyn Monroe is, again, best restaurant in Milan!

Munich: Toshi Restaurant

August 9, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

The Toshi Restaurant in Munchen, Germany, is a top Japanese Cuisine restaurant in the whole Bavaria region! Known for highest quality products of raw fish and ingredients straight from Japan, amazing service and very detailed cooking skills are in this beautiful, minimalistic space!
The biggest highlight of the restaurant is for sure the Shabu-Shabu (Wagyu beef that you boil in broth with shitake and other strange sounding veggies…) and overally the selection of Wagyu. But, not forgetting of something more simple, so sushi, the rolls, maki and nigiri are just mind blowing! Everything is done in such a masterpiece state, you just don’t want to end your meal!
