About the beer, I have to agree with you that $9 is not exactly reasonable, but I guess perhaps we're getting more numbed to the prices we're often being charged at such places these days, and have to go nuts with our hyperbole about the $18 beers (well, it would be nice if it were purely hyperbole).

Yum!<br /><br />One thing is missing though -- who's in the kitchen in this place and are they unusual? The answer is yes, head chef at Kitsch is my sister -- Annita-Marie Potter -- and she's not Thai and she is a woman, two unsual things for this kind of resto. <br /><Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937237371758392301.post-77711111548514103372010-03-16T06:46:53.613+08:002010-03-16T06:46:53.613+08:00I shouldn't be coming here just woken up and s...I shouldn't be coming here just woken up and starving!
