moo (money order office)

Yesterday we went to MOO (Money Order Office) Restaurant.

I have linked it but I warn you when I tried to open the page I couldnt but it could well be that its due to our shitty ISP.

firstly the location is great. its in a basement of the old money order office so it reminded me of some of the cafes in stockholm but obviously this is not nearly as old. it has a mix of old and modern decor. i like the lighting, it is more on the darker side, it suited the feel they are going for.

Last time I went to moo it was before 2005. i seemed to remember they had an excellent selection of wine. I seemed to remember correctly. They also have James Squire amber ale on tap so the husband was happy as its one of his many favorites.

I had the 150g wagyu sirloin with beef pie, beef tartar, and escargot. the sirloin was delish. it was the first time i’ve had tartar and i thought the raw meat went perfect with the flavors of the capers. It was also my first ever escargot!! and i have admit that i was disappointed and gutted that it was not in paris that i had my very first escargot. non the less i didnt mind it at all. it wasnt tough and it tasted like butter and caramel but maybe that had to do with the sauce it came in. still – i should have had some in paris!! oh well!

i had a salad on the side with baked pears, rocket, gorgonzola cheese, and walnuts. i thought it all went well together. the husband didnt like it as much but he thoroughly enjoyed the venison.

its moderately priced but its priced properly for what you get. i totally recommend moo but make sure you make a reservation. we were kind of given the look when we asked for a table even though it was not packed.

easy food

Jimmy and I have decided to try Lite n’ Easy. We are on our second week.
I have to admit that I was worried that it was going to be like eating microwave dinners all the time but it wasnt quite that bad.
Of course its not like eating home cooked meals.
In fact after having a hard think about it I figured out what the food reminds me of…
it’s like eating airplane meals.
I know that doesnt sound very appetizing but I dont mind airplane food!
I like that I dont have to cook.
Plus I save money because I am not buying lunches.
So far so good….but I wonder how long it will last.
