Ride the Metro to Swankdom

[€uroMeinke]

Well the First Metro Swanking of 2006 went off wonderfully - after gathering at Hollywood & Highland we walked down to the Geisha House - and I must say I was please with it's swank factor.



We were early so we had our choice of dinning room or bar - we ask for the "prettier" and got the Dinningroom, which didn't dissappoint. Darkly lit with a central tower featuring staggered fire places, a wrap around interior balcony and a Tokyo Noir Cityscape fill the one wall. The other walls are upolstered in various Kimono fabrics, softening the overall effect



I enjoyed the unagi, and had a Geisha Kiss - a sort of hybrid kir Royal with saki melon and Lychee added - quite a tasty treat.



We also sampled Geisha lips, and the ocean dragon rolls, Tuna Tatake, and some other delightful albacore sushimi



We quickly devoured a desert of tempura bananas with carmel, chocolate, and cinnimon ice cream - delightful - before we headed down to the Egyptian for a great collection of shorts.

All in all a great evening and hopefully, a sign of more to come in 2006.

Cheers,
