Dine in the Dark

a group of us went to this restaurant called O'Noir last week.

o'noir means "in the dark". so basically you dine in the dark - no candles, flashlights, no cell phone, and no cheating! we choose our menu first before being led in single file, hands on shoulders, into a PITCH DARK dining room.

if i were to do a realistic sketch it would look something like this:

see, i wasn't kidding - it's THAT dark!!

i felt a bit nerve racking at first sitting in complete darkness, but as we started making silly jokes i knew right away it's going to be tons of fun!

for illustration purpose, here is how we look like under a night-vision camera:

i had grilled calamari for starter, five spice filet mignon with vegetable and potatoes for main, and chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert. the food was not top notch but it was pretty good. the knifes were not sharp for safety reason, and the filet mignon was cut into pieces before it was served.

my overall experience? 4 stars out of 5. i found it very entertaining and i would recommend this to anyone!
