I just can't shake it, shake it, shake it.. No...

What does a $55 mocktail consist of these days?

1 shot of watermelon juice
1 shot of cucumber juice
1 shot of beetroot juice
1 shot of carrot juice
1 shot of red currant juice
1 shot of something (it'll come back to me eventually)
1/2 shot of parsnip juice
A splash of apple juice
1 shot of passionfruit juice (seeds removed)
Finished off with a decadent layer of taking the piss foam.

Do you ever know when a child lies?

He looks up and asks her, "Have you been following the diet I sent to you?"
"Erm, maybe 50%?"
"You know, you really should. It really does get results."

Yeah, alright, it probably does help to follow a diet if one actually opens and reads attached diet plans within sent emails. Sigh. Admittedly I do eat out more than the average person, but surely one can make exceptions.... Particularly when it's Seiobo!



Another tree in the garden of the recently refurbished The Star comes along Seiobo, from the makers who brought you Momofuku. The deets - 15 course degustation for $175. I forget the additional alcohol add-on since I don't usually drink (or eat chocolate...). Bookings are taken via the web whether in NY or Sydney, so when a friend offered a spare place, I can't be so rude as to turn them down just to follow a diet!

Let's start.
