http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/twenty-one-plates-menu-nov2010-feb 1/10

Twenty One Plates is an extension of our kitchen and home and just like yourown, it is a place where you can enjoy a comfortable and private meal with family and friends. Separate dining areas, in varied sizes, keep conversations and company

private; our BYOB policy allows you to bring that special bottle of wine, corkage-free; and the service and menu flexibility we provide might be a little hard to find anywhere else, except, well, your home. But as this is a restaurant too, knowthat you will sometimes have to dine with strangers next to you, ask to be billed because, after all, we’ve done the shopping and cooking for you and cannot really ask to stay on for as long as you like for obvious reasons.

The menu, which may change up to three times a year, is an eclectic mix of our family’s old and new recipe favorites and our latest experiments inspired by theworld’s best cuisines.

It’s not all strictly “fusion” as what most people thought the initial menu to be. Whether the plate you are about to have is from the chef’s family’s hand-me-down recipes or a re-creation of a dish we’ve sampled from a place faraway or one of our happy innovations , it is always for you to enjoy. Becausewhether we eat for the sake of simple nourishment or pure enjoyment, we all know that food always has to be beautifully good and wonderfully beautiful .

Oh, and do know that good food takes a bit of time. It’s not an excusefor being slow. It’s just how it is when most of the food in our kitchen is cooked as you order them. Ask company to be served all at the same time or if some of you don’t mind the wait, we will serve each plate as soon as they’re done.

Enjoy your meal.
