But very satisfying to say the least!<br /><br /><b>Hey chocolatesuze,</b> that petits fours platter is the stuff of dreams, I tell you!<br /><br /><b>Hey Fiona,</b> we keep talking about going back...<br /><br /><b>Hey MelbaToast,</b> thanks! It really was a visual as well as taste delight. The dishes were all entree-sized - not large, but not tiny either - and definitely enough to fill you.<br /><br /><b>Hey YaYa,</b> the presentation of the dishes definitely helped to encourage their eating.<br /><br /><b>Hey Karen,</b> not long to go now, my friend! Enjoy =)<br /><br /><b>Hey Phuoc,</b> the petits fours tray is great fun to finish off the meal, even when you're already full!<br /><br /><b>Hey Minh,</b> I could handle just having the petits fours tray for dessert! =p<br /><br /><b>Hey retrodaze,</b> pretty but full of substance too.<br /><br /><b>Hey Bel,</b> all in the name of researching the selection available! =D<br /><br /><b>Hey FFichiban,</b> I think you would love it!<br /><br /><b>Hey Gummi Baby,</b> the serves are more than enough to fill you when combined. I share your reservations about "artful" presentation though - I've been to places where the artfulness exceeds the tastiness, but thankfully this is not the case with Arras!<br /><br /><b>Hey Helen,</b> that petits fours platter was definitely one of the major factors that roped me in, haha!<br /><br /><b>Hey Angie,</b> I know, it just wouldn't be fair to the petits fours if I didn't try one of each! =p<br /><br /><b>Hey Sara,</b> the hedgehog was tasty too! Though I'm pretty sure he wasn't designed to look that way =p<br /><br /><b>Hey Conor,</b> it has been! And did you notice there was no beef featured?<br /><br /><b>Hey Gianna,</b> haha, only giving the petits fours platter the respect it deserves! =D<br /><br /><b>Hey Miljana,</b> thanks for dropping by =) The glass plate definitely highlighted the vibrant colours of the flowers.Rita (mademoiselle délicieuse)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12353807765589132835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848781013603271056.post-37475590495585936012011-02-10T03:17:59.379+11:002011-02-10T03:17:59.379+11:00Really enjoyed how your photos captured the food p...Really enjoyed how your photos captured the food presentation! The flowers brought a very refreshing note to the courses! Loved how they used transparent textured glass plate for ‘Smoked, roast and dressed’ dish - it really put emphasis on the ingredients and added edge of crispiness to the dish!Miljanahttp://www.the-glass-co.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848781013603271056.post-39527632245937418992011-02-09T15:45:56.014+11:002011-02-09T15:45:56.014+11:00wow! what a great feast, for both the hungry tummi...wow! what a great feast, for both the hungry tummies and the eyes - you are my hero for still being able to try "one of each" of the petit fours!Gianna@TheEmptyFridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796865092693867152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848781013603271056.post-1172252854255913882011-02-03T16:01:22.038+11:002011-02-03T16:01:22.038+11:00Hooray, may this be the first of many, many degos ...Hooray, may this be the first of many, many degos :)<br /><br />Well done on requesting one of each too.

Also, the duck and the lamb look way too rare for my taste. They almost made up for it with the unlimited petit fours but the hedgehog roll was more than cute. :)Gummi Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746419753403963804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848781013603271056.post-76091945461034965932011-01-27T22:00:32.861+11:002011-01-27T22:00:32.861+11:00Why have I not been here yet?!?!
