| - SURPRISE!
So what's for dinner? You aren't given the exact details! All you know is the date, the time, and the location!
At the Feasting Room, they celebrate eating the whole animal. That's right; that means eating ALL of the animal parts. Each week they create a new blind-tasting menu that focuses on one animal. It's a 6 course meal, with a few appetizers thrown in at the beginning as teasers. The animal featured for the night is not yet revealed until you get to your table.
You love surprises, and don't mind playing the guessing game! What will it be tonight? Will it be Pig? Duck? Goose? ... And how adventurous are you when it comes to eating food? What parts will be served? Dare you eat it?
MYSTERY
Once you arrive at the address, the venue is a bit tricky to find. It is almost fitting that the location is not apparent, which adds to the mystery of the event!
You look UP and around for a signage, but see no evident signs overhead. Then, on the ground, THERE IT IS, The Feasting Room signage standing on the ground. You are relieved to find it.
You swing open the tall slim door and a little taken aback by what you see. It's a surprisingly dark staircase, long and narrow, and encompassed by glittery white mosaic walls, with an inviting red glow, softly shimmering at the top of the climb. This immediately feels like a "secret location".
Once upstairs, the space opens up and you find yourself in a quaint rockstar style bar, with black flooring, walls and ceiling. At the far back corner is a stage with musical instruments set up. The space is simple, yet hipster and grunge glam. And you like it!
IT'S TIME!
Then, the moment you've been waiting for has finally come! It's feasting time! You can no longer handle the mystic and excitedly grab the menu to see what the featured animal is for the night! Just to prolong the suspense a tad bit longer, the menu is wrapped beautifully with recycled material, stamped with The Feasting Room crest, the entire package tied together elegantly with a thin white thread.
What's inside? It's not a menu! There are NO words. Just a diagram of an animal, and some numbers in bold red!
Clever! More secrets! You love it! You love that you are given the sequence of dishes to come, yet the actual menu and ingredients are still unknown. You are ready and eagerly anticipating the delectable surprises!
The feasting begins sharply at 7:00pm, and for the next 3 hours, the chef and the waitstaff take their time in presenting the beautifully arranged culinary masterpieces, explaining each dish as they arrive at your table . . .
