Rolex and Birthday Dinner

Last week was my birthday so we went out for a lovely meal at Dinner by Heston, currently the seventh highest ranked restaurant in the world. The dining room was very pleasing and the staff were all excellent as indeed was the food. The star dish for me was his famed Meat Fruit, a mandarin orange seemingly on the outside but inside was the most delicious chicken liver parfait. We also had the most tender octopus we've ever tried, just melted in the mouth, and the duck and turbot were both superb. And they added a nice little chocolate touch at the end with our desserts.

We were running late so I see now I didn't adjust my DDII to the correct date tho I did somehow have time for a quick pic in the car of course!

Happy birthday, buddy.

It looks like you had a reallyngood one and the food looks awesome and delicious. Love the last shot of the chocolate desert. It pairs up really well with the chocolate dial of your DD II!

Happy belated birthday, Neil! The Meat Fruit is something I've never seen before! Looks amazing! I'd love to see a picture of it after you cut into it! Your DD is stunning and the perfect watch for a special day at an outstanding restaurant!

Amazing! Two questions:
- How do they get the meat inside the mandarin?
- Can I Have your Rolex?
