A Feasibility Write-up Back in 2003

Ingenious Art and Cuisine in the Unity of East and West

     Expressing the classic and the modern, the austere and the adorned, the moderate and the bold, in the different features of table setting, we have created a fusion that is appealing to those who appreciate and enjoy the delicate blend of East and West. We have prepared a creative menu that we have painstakingly studied, collecting ideas from the sporadic parts of the Western world, blending it with the precious East defining vividly on Asian authenticity. As you can see, the cuisine is more on Asian origin but giving it a Western touch and mixing the flavors of the East and West completes the cuisine and makes it apt to the international palate.

     On the dining table, we used delicate white square plates with the wooden place mat to introduce a Western attitude on Asian fashion. On the centerpiece, we used pebbles and rocks placed in on elegant wide bringing out a sense of tranquility and simplicity of Asian living. Putting flowers and a candle enhances the beauty and elegance. It rests on an abaca mat with the playful colors of blue, red and orange and using the colors of the different shades of brown on our menu card, table napkins and on the chair skirts from dark copper brown to light cream, and with the audacious colors of orange, blue and red. Playing with austere colors with audacious ones expresses our spontaneity in fusin Eastern and Western style. The colors of blue, red and orange represent the immense diversity of Asian culture and tradition and also the bold and the adorned art and spirit of the West.

     On the wine table, we have set a simple vase and a Japanese lamp that manifests subtle grace of Eastern art and putting a Western-inspired flower as decoration together with the wine and the tea as the meal-ender.

     Inspired by Japanese tradition and culture, the elements of nature come to life with a Western approach of sophistication.
