I don’t usually blog about anything else other than fashion or fashion related topics on this site, but I must tell all of you about this amazing, orgasmic, mind blowing experience I had at the Bazaar restaurant in LA last night. Although I love fashion and live for it, I also love food, maybe even at the same level.

Last night we had the pleasure of having our friend, Nathan, who is a chef at the Bazaar restaurant, join us for dinner. Ever since we watched Iron Chef America and the whole idea of molecular gastronomy food came into play, we have been waiting for an opportunity to try this interesting food. The closest restaurant is Moto in Chicago, and we were all planning a trip out there to indulge ourselves with such goodness until we discovered that Jose Andres opened one six months ago at the SLS hotel in Hollywood.

The Bazaar is breathtaking when you step into it, the entire creative atmosphere was designed by none other than Philippe Starck, who is the furniture/interior design god (saving that for the next blog). Basically, the restaurant is split into five sections, there are the tapas bars, Blanca and Rojo, one is the modern side and the other is the traditional side, each has their own menu, but you can order from both. In the middle there is Bar Centro with the most beautiful mix of modern and traditional elegance, each table has unique chairs that looks as if they came from some strange corner of the world, and most likely from a different time period. On the other side of the bar is the bakery where you go for dessert, and lastly there is gift shop Moss, where you can find random stuff from toys to jewelry, to paparazzi photos. Yes! You move around the restaurant from bar for drinks while waiting for friends, to dinner, to the bakery for dessert, and lastly to the shop to take something home. The main goal of Bazaar is to create an entire experience in one night, and what an experience it was!

I don’t think there is one thing that we tried, that didn’t just explode in my mouth. This is what the chef ordered for us:
