Journey: Zanotti Ristorante in Bangkok

It is always a delight when the carriers of your dish or drink can add to the experience. Capping off a delicious meal of hand-made pasta spun with prosciutto, enveloped with walnut sauce, and hunks of burrata with baby tomatoes, this single espresso has been poured into a beautifully enameled special edition illy cup. Accompanying it is the tiniest ameretti cookie, that actually is whole, not a broken off bit of one. Again, packaging and presentation is 50% of the meal. Sometimes 60%. Which begs the question, do you eat more with your eyes, or with your taste buds? I for one would like to say the latter, but am definitely an ordering sucker for the former.
