Every time when I left a design job, almost all of my ex-boss (es) would go find a nice place to treat me a last supper as a gratitude. This time, my farewell dinner's pick is at Bibo, a place where I didn't expect much until I entered the main brass sliding street entrance. I'd a feeling this place might surprise me with some ordinary things look unordinary. The setting of this scene is a mixture of pop art culture, playful street graffiti, and some random art pieces.Before the meal, we had few
Before the meal, we had few drinks sat by the bookshelf. The cocktail wine list was few pages long. To make myself easy, I picked the one said it's chosen from a legendary mixologist. I'm not a big drinker, I didn't pay attention on the taste of the drink. Instead, my eyes were so busy keep searching around to find the hidden art pieces.
For the dinner menu, there were 6-course meal ($800) n 8-course meal ($1300). Like a drawing on canvas, each dish is nicely presented on plate. The presentation definitely deserve a star level, but the taste might not be as perfect as I thought. My least favourite is the green sorbet of La Pomme. Oh gosh... the sourness is almost like a super sour lemon candy.
um... how should i summarize this place... It's very bizarre, funky n unique. The food def is a french portion of fine dinning quality. The art collection there are mostly contemporary pieces, n the art movement is so random not trying hard like Dada. And the costume of few key staffs there look so much like in the 19th century. I found one does look like Eddie Marsan act as a policeman from the Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movie. This scene is mixed with old n new things. It's playful, random, stylish. It might be perfect for a private party and cinematography. Def will come back again for a weekend munch.
