::teppanyaki::

 you haven't eat teppanyaki for a very long time.  not even once during your stay in tokyo as you were more into korean bbq than teppanyaki.

this trip to geneva, with same group of colleagues from last week, you had teppanyaki at the japanese restaurant in the hotel.

 the chef lit a flame on the salmon as expected. you were rather amuse and start taking photograph

 and then a showcase of cutting skill, you started the conversation if the chef is actually japanese or chinese. at the end of the show, you found out from the chef that he is filipino who worked and lived in japan for a long time.

your swiss colleague ordered salmon, you had your beef steak, your german colleague preferred scallop and your other dutch colleague had beef sirloin. you don't expect wagyu here in switzerland but you know the swiss beef is renowned for its high quality meat too..

 more light and flame on your beef before the final plate up

at the end of the showcase, each of you got a plate with some vegetables and shared among yourselves.  you had your beef with swiss white riesling, although it may not be the right combination but the riesling is really a joy to drink especially when the switzerland vineyard is so limited. so this particular riesling is a gem,  fresh and floral, you can literally smell the sunshine from the glass but it is absolutely dry. a very rare wine indeed.

geneva is extremely expensive city.  this meal costs for more than 600 chf, expensive huh? you count it a blessing to be able to enjoy good food without paying from your own pocket. and this meal is certainly not cheap.

tomorrow is going to be an early start, you will be pick up at 7am and the oral presentation starts at 8am. it's going to be a long day but you will have the chance to see the famous jet d' eau from the client's office (hopefully).
