My First Fine Dining Experience

 I never saw culinary food skills as an art. Food, I thought of it was for my mouth, tummy and my emotions. However, experiencing fine dining for the first time in my life, it made me realise and see food as something beyond eating objects. I saw food as an art. It is an edible art. The effort and patience chefs spend in creating their masterpiece and the amount of time they spend in getting the correct texture, thickness and softness in the food along with sweet and savoury flavour it provides in the mouth made me appreciate food in a different level. I have certainly more respect and appreciation for chefs especially in fine dining. Being the fast food environment, where they only rush to make the food, "quick, quick" and in your hands delivered in few minutes. This experience was an opportunity for me see that, food, when taken time, patience, hard work, and  dedication brought magic to your mouth. Just a small amount in your mouth brought plenty of flavour in your mount and made your taste bud get the mind blowing experience. I know fine dining is expensive but, I hope everyone experience this at least once in a life time.
