ご褒美day-3 : Third Indulgence

Tonight I went to a French restaurant with my co-workers.
This restaurant is kind of famous. From the moment you step through the door, you feel like, "Am I in Paris?" because the interior is totally different from Japan. It has purple walls and wine-red table settings. I was already excited before dinner.
We had a glass of champaign. The evening's menu went from an amuse-bouche to five dishes including fish, meats, and a variety of vegetables. The last course was dessert with a diced persimmon and cream cheese topping.
After that was a rich chocolate tart with pistachio sauce and ice cream. My stomach was full!

Let's check tonight dinner:

Carbohydrates were only two small pieces of bread.
There was fresh fish, meat and delicate vegetables. They weren't junk, just nutritious proteins and fiber.
The mushrooms were soooo yummy, it's now the season for them.
I understood that really great restaurants don't load their dishes with empty carbs. (Like that pasta restaurant I talked about last entry) I never thought about this before the PCP.

昨夜は会社の仲間達と、フランス料理のディナーを一緒にしました。
かなり有名なお店で、扉を過ぎるとここはパリ？と勘違いする程に色彩も統一された内装にすでに興奮ぎみ！さぁシャンペンで乾杯。アミューズブッシュから５皿のディナーコースに海の幸、山の幸、季節の野菜と贅沢な取り合わせ。デザートは柿をあしらったチーズクリームと濃厚チョコタルトにピスタチオソースとアイスを添えた一皿。かなりお腹もいっぱいになりました。
今夜のディナーを思い返すと:
炭水化物はコースの中に小さなパンが二つだけ。
新鮮な魚やお肉の栄養に、丁寧に野菜が多く添えられていました。
焼き野菜の中に秋の味覚の茸がとっても印象深くおいしかった。
本当に良いお店のお皿には、炭水化物は少なく栄養化の良いものが盛られてると実感！
