London Tower Bridge – is one of the most sought after Lego sets and also one of the more complex sets to assemble. So, when W spotted this box at the Lego Store, he pulled the trigger. This is a gigantic set, with 4,287 pieces to be assembled, no small feat at all. Numerous tubs were utilized to organize the tiny Lego pieces, and there were several instruction booklets to follow. It was a quite a daunting task for a beginner…..
Piece by piece, block by block, we followed the instruction and labored along, and gradually, the Tower Bridge came to life…..
YAY!! The final product, exactly as advertised! I also added a few characters to this project…..
Petrossian – is well known for the caviar dishes. This is one of those restaurants where I would love to try, but put off by the ludicrous charge to dine there. We jumped on an coupon offer, $99 prix fixe dinner for two. Champagne and Caviar, here we come!
The prix fixe menu comes with vodka, we replaced with a flute of bubbly; crémé fraiche and crepe made a good pairing to the sweet and savory caviar…..
House Smoked salmon, delicious with these petite toast…..
W had the Prime Flat Iron Steak, medium well…..
Scallops Risotto, succulent and cooked just right…..
A trio of sorbet, lemon, raspberry and mango…..
Vanilla panna cotta, expresso caviar…..
Every one or two days during the month, they offer a 5-caviar tasting course with a glass of champagne or a flute of Vodka, $35 per person. I should give that a try when I feel like it!

Misleading title! LOL I thought you were reporting from London.
i’d always wanted to try the Petrossian after having breakfast at the NYC one (not sure if they’r the same tho)
The smoked salmon and scallops risotto both look so good. And yay for Lego pics!!! The final product looks amazing!
@beowulf222 - Hehehe~~sorry for the misleading title. I wish I were there in person!
@ds0905 - Yes, I think they are the same, the main store is located in Paris.
@making_a_comeback_05 - I’m glad you like my Lego project!
@CurryPuffy - You’re welcome! It’s pretty awesome!!
“a 5-caviar tasting course with a glass of champagne or a flute of Vodka, $35 per person.”
That doesn’t sound bad at all!
Btw, everything looks good, minus that grossly overdone steak! =P
Oh my! It must have been quite a feat to assemble that Lego set. I know I would never have that type of patience.
@Xx_DeUce_xX - Hahaha~I totally agree!
@icepearlz - At first glance, it was quite overwhelming! I started out with smaller sets, and then came this project. LOL
LEGOOOO!! damn, i miss playing with one. that used to be the ONLY toy for me for years, growing up. i was such a nerd that i actually loved spending time in my room for hours just so i could built and then deconstruct my lego. they were mostly outer-space ones. and may i say what a better follow up after lego than more food porn
i would have loved to try those espresso caviar. YUM.
Great Job on the Lego……especially with the Toy Story characters
my version on enjoying the Caviar……a big scoop of Caviar on a bowl of freshly cooked Plain rice and add some double boiled Chinese clear soup/broth….
The Tower of London looks amazing Gary. You guys did good.
@rudyhou - Indeed, Lego sets are quite appealing to people of all ages. I sometimes wonder and admire how these set designers made up all these famous monuments from just blocks of Lego bricks.
@agmhkg - Hahaha~thanks, I’m glad you like the little characters! Caviar with rice? Sounds good, and I’ll add some sashimi to this.
@ZSA_MD - Thank you, Zakiah! I’m glad to gain your approval! LOL
Wow, these look sooooo good!!
@KevEats - The food is delicious too!!
