An opportunity of a lifetime - dining at the famous (and infamously difficult to get seats at) Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant. Singlehandedly orchestrated by yours truly, I made sure to call London up to make reservations a week and half prior to the dinner date, and made a reservation at the Trattoria (ie the only section I could afford).

I have to admit it was more the hype than anything else. I walked in with purple Tate Modern plastic bag - not the most glam of ways to enter a restaurant I've been gaga-ing about for the last few years.

It was a nice place, comfortably decked out as with most restaurants in London (I've been spoilt by the people who've bought most of my business lunches/dinners I've had there). The food was just good, better than the usual fair. But I have to admit I was expecting more than spetacular. And for 20 pounds a person, bearing in mind the 3 to 1 exchange rate, it was a tad pricey. I'd rather eat at Valentinos in Bukit Timah anytime.

But anyhows, here's a pic of the interior of the Trattoria to satisfy the curiosity of anyone who's thinking of going there. =)
