CNY is a time to see old friends and enjoy gfood food.  Practice hard and refuel your Qi with good food!!  Jitlada is one of my favorite Thai Resturants.  So my morning Tai Chi Class had a small celebration there.

Michel(in the center) invitied everyone to celebrate CNY with him.

For many years Michel ran one of the best French resturants in the City.

Jilada has great thai food but also good desserts.  This Mango sorbet served in a coconut dish with a cashew and cranberry smile!
