The Bazaar (Los Angeles, CA)

The Bazaar
465 S La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90048
Mon 11/17/2008, 08:15p-12:50a

I was first introduced to José Andrés at his mezze eatery Zaytinya in Washington DC. This was several years ago, and ever since then, I'd wanted to try another one of Andrés' restaurants: Minibar at Cafe Atlantico, arguably the most progressive restaurant in the country. Andrés, a discipline of Ferran Adrià, is perhaps best known for his small plates, "avant garde" cuisine, so I was thus very excited to hear than he'd be opening a restaurant right here in LA. The anticipation built for several months, and I made reservations for opening night as soon as I could. I was especially interested in comparing the place to XIV (also owned by SBE), as I attended and reported on that restaurant's opening night a month ago.

Designed by Phillipe Stark, The Bazaar is divided into several distinct areas. The first is Bar Centro, located immediately behind the entrance. The bar/lounge is decorated eclectically, and makes interesting use of the space. The actual bar is located near the back.

While waiting for my entire party to show up, we decided to order a few drinks at the bar. Naturally, I had to go with a mojito [$16.00], replete with a piece of sugar cane (which was nice to chew on). It was an excellent example, well very balanced, with just the right amount of sweet and sour, while being still light and refreshing. I also sampled the "Salt Air" Margarita [$14.00], which was basically a classic margarita topped with salt air (foam). Again, an excellent example, with the air basically serving the exact same function as a salt rim. There were also some sweet "corn nuts" to munch on.

To the right of Bar Centro is the Patisserie, or dessert station. In addition to offering a selection of cakes, candies, and chocolates, the Patisserie also serves up tea and coffee.

Further to the right is the shopping area by Moss, showcasing a wide range of high-end trinkets and baubles.

With my party complete, we were seated in Rojo y Blanca, the main restaurant at The Bazaar. We were seated in "Rojo," one of two dining rooms, and were provided with an excellent view of the kitchen.

The menu focuses on tapas and is similarly divided into "Rojo" and "Blanca" sections, with the former being more traditional and the latter more progressive. As with XIV, our goal was to order "the gamut," or everything on the menu. There were 62 items, and I proposed that we order two of everything on the menu, split amongst six people. Unfortunately, this time we failed by 13 dishes, significantly underestimating the size of the courses. In hindsight, we should've ordered just one of everything (a paradigm which we did move to toward the end of the meal). Click for larger versions.

A small selection of wines is offered. We decided to go with a bottle of the 2006 Marge, Celler de l'Encastell, Garnacha-Carinena, Priorat [$86.00]. I thought the wine was way too young, though it did open up a bit after an hour or so, showing lots of spice, smoke, and earth, with a bit of heat on the finish; not enough fruit though. We were told that eventually, diners would be able to order the wine selections from Bar Centro as well. Click for larger versions.

There aren't a lot of desserts offered at Rojo y Blanca, though the Patisserie does supplement this list considerably. Click for larger versions.

Now, with all the formalities out of the way, we'll delve into each of the 49 dishes I had:

1: Jamón platter [$32.00]
Clockwise from top left, we have: Jamón Ibérico de bellota, Jamón Ibérico, and Jamón Serrano. Jamón Ibérico comes from the Black Iberian Pig, and was, until recently, not available in the US. Jamón Ibérico de bellota is the most prized version, and is made from pigs that eat only acorns during the last periods of their lives. This resulted in the meat being sweeter, nuttier, and fattier than the non bellota version, which had a stronger, "hammier" flavor. This was my first time having Jamón Ibérico and it didn't disappoint. The much more common Jamón Serrano (made from white pigs) was somewhat drier and less fatty, but still delicious.

2: Selection of five cheeses [$25.00]
Served with 'picos,' Spanish crispy bread, quince jam and almonds:
  • Murcia al vino - This was a goat's milk, semi-soft, smooth cheese with a red wine-washed rind from Murcia in southeastern Spain. It had just a hint of fruitiness and nuttiness and was quite nice overall.
  • La Serena - La Serena is made from Merino sheep's milk in La Serena, Spain. It had a soft, creamy consistency, backed by a bitter, almost astringent taste.
  • Manchego 'Pasamontes' - Manchego is a sheep's milk cheese made in the La Mancha region of Spain. I found it firm and mild, with just a bit of saltiness.
  • Idiazábal - Idiazábal is a hard, mildly smoky, nutty sheep's milk cheese from the Basque region in Spain. At XIV, I had it paired with bacon.
  • Picón Bejes-Treviso - A creamy, sharp blue made from cow's, goat's, and sheep's milk from Liébana, Cantabria, Spain. A prototypical blue.

3: 'Pa amb' Tomaquet [$8.00]
Toasted sliced rustic bread brushed with fresh tomatoes. This typical preparation of Catalan cuisine was surprisingly tasty, with the tomato adding an interesting contrast to the toasted bread. It was a nice accompaniment for the jamón and cheese.

4: Mussels escabeche [$7.00]
Marinated in olive oil, vinegar and smoked paprika. This was definitely one of the better preparations of mussels I've had, with the marinade adding a spicy, tart kick to the natural flavor of the mollusks. Perfect texture too.

5: King Crab [$16.00]
With raspberry vinegar. The raspberry was initially a bit strange, but turned out quite nicely, with the flavor of the berries pairing well with the crab meat's inherent sweetness.

6: Kumamoto Oysters [$12.00]
With lemon and black pepper. Kumamotos are my favorite type of oyster, and here again, they lived up to their reputation, with the lemon adding a great kick. I will say though that although tasty, these were actually quite similar in taste to the oysters on the half shell that you normally get.

7: Sea Urchin [$16.00]
With pipirrana and Andalusian vegetables. This was my favorite of the canned dishes, and was an exemplary preparation of uni. The sea urchin itself was mild, smooth, and delicious, while the veggies (peppers, tomatoes, onions, etc.) added a fantastic textural contrast. Arguably the best dish of the night.

8: Aceitunas con anchoas y piquillos [$6.00]
Stuffed green olives with piquillo and anchovies. Though advertised as "world's best," these tasted pretty much just like olives. The piquillos didn't add much, and the anchovies were simply not apparent.

9: Carrilleras de cerdo con naranja [$8.00]
Braised pork cheeks with California oranges. Quite nice. The pork was braised, so it was very tender, but the meat still had a bit of bite to it, which I appreciated. The oranges did well to offset the heaviness of the meat.

10: Alitas de pollo [$9.00]
Boneless chicken wings with green olive puree. I liked these. The chicken was extremely juicy and rather fatty, reminding me of almost an Asian-style street food. However, tasting the bird with the included olive puree and greens added layers of complexity to the dish that elevated it above mere fried chicken.

11: Arroz cremoso de setas con queso Idiazábal [$8.00]
Wild mushroom rice with Idiazábal cheese. The rice didn't have that risotto-like texture that I love, but nevertheless, I quite enjoyed this dish and its rich, hearty interplay between rice, earthy mushroom, and smoky cheese. It actually reminded me of the mushroom risotto I had at Café Hiro.

12: Espinacas a la Catalana [$8.00]
Catalan sautéed spinach with apple, pine nuts and raisins. The sweetness hits you first, which is then followed by the bitterness of spinach. A bit strange at first, but then it makes perfect sense. I had a similar Catalan style spinach at Mizuna only days earlier. There, I felt the amalgam was too sweet, but that didn't pose a problem here.

13: Japanese baby peaches [$12.00]
With yogurt and olive oil. The peaches had a lovely sweetness that was deftly set off by the yogurt, an interesting contrast. This looks like it could've been a dessert from Providence!

14: Lomo de buey a la parrilla con piquillos confitados [$12.00]
Seared NY strip with piquillo pepper confit. The meat was aptly cooked and I liked the texture, but the taste somehow seemed off to me; it just lacked the beefiness that I was looking for. The piquillos did work well here though.

15: Mozzarella-tomato pipettes [$8.00]
With micro basil. Interesting presentation here. You first taste the tomato with a hint of basil, then get hit by the mozzarella a second later, resulting in a quasi-insalata caprese experience. Quite a pleasing effect overall.

16: Pimientos del piquillo con queso Caña de Cabra [$9.00]
Seared piquillo peppers stuffed with goat cheese. Here I noted an initial burst of strong cheesy taste, gradually leading to the much milder flavor of pepper near the finish. Nothing special.

17: Sliced apples and fennel salad [$7.00]
With Manchego cheese, walnuts, olive oil and cava vinegar. I had a really hard time discerning anything else but apple here. There was just too much of it, and it dominated the other flavors. I didn't even know about the cheese and walnuts before reading the menu! With its sharp, cool tartness, this was almost like a palate cleanser.

18: Organized arugula salad [$9.00]
With raspberries, corn and Cabrales blue cheese. The arugula, when eaten alone, had a dry, spicy bitterness that wasn't too pleasant, but adding the cheese didn't help either, as it just overpowered everything else. The corn and raspberries were a tad incoherent.

19: 'Philly cheesesteak' [$7.00]
Air bread filled with cheese and topped with Kobe beef. I loved the lightness of the air bread and how it almost explodes in your mouth, coating it with cheese. Unfortunately, the cheese drowned out the taste of the beef.

20: Ensaladilla Rusa [$7.00]
Classic Spanish salad of potatoes, imported conserved tuna and mayonnaise. The tuna flavor was very strong here, though not unpleasantly so. The dish reminded me of a cross between tuna salad and potato salad. In that vein, I think it would've been better served a bit colder.

21: Lomo de corder con patatas y trufas [$14.00]
Lamb loin with foraged mushrooms and potato. The meat was extremely tender and almost pork-like in nature (one of my dining companions guessed that it was done sous-vide), and served as a base on which the potatoes and mushrooms could come to the fore.

22: Cigalas con algas Finisterrae [$14.00]
Norwegian lobster with seaweed and a soup essence. The seaweed added an extremely briny essence to the dish that tended to overpower the lobster; I wasn't a fan of its texture either. My attention was pretty much drawn to the seaweed and not the lobster.

23: Sautéed cauliflower "couscous" [$9.00]
With cauliflower puree, vegetable harissa broth, preserved lemon and fried quinoa. I'm generally a fan of cauliflower, and I appreciated its creative use here as "couscous." It had a subtle bitterness that contrasted with the sweeter elements of the dish, along with a great mouthfeel. Quite good.

24: Croquetas de pollo [$7.00]
Chicken and béchamel fritters. The unique amalgam of chicken and béchamel gave the croquettes a lovely golden brown exterior hiding a warm, creamy center. It was akin to a chicken pot pie, and I rather liked it.

25: Artichokes and citrus salad [$9.00]
With orange blossom dressing and pomegranate. I found the citrus jarring, and not at all integrated with the artichoke, which was just bland. This was disjointed to say the least, a mismatched mishmash and one of the weakest dishes of the night.

26: Ajo blanco gelatin [$8.00]
With tomato granité. Also competing for the title of worst dish of the night was this strange amalgamation. Ajo blanco is a type soup traditionally made from bread, olive oil, vinegar, water, garlic, and almonds. Sounds pretty good on its own, but here the interplay of savory and sweet elements just didn't work out. The jarring coldness of the granité didn't help either. Like an experiment gone wrong at Alinea.

27: Seared cantaloupe [$7.00]
With arugula and grapefruit salad. I've never had seared cantaloupe before, but I must say that the cooking process intensified the natural flavor of the fruit and gave it a rich heaviness that stood in stark contrast to the grapefruit. Surprisingly nice.

28: Brussel sprout salad [$8.00]
With lemon puree, apricot preserves and lemon air. Having found a new appreciation for Brussels sprouts just days earlier at Ford's Filling Station, I rather liked the salad. The sprouts had a great crunchiness along with their signature bitterness, which was subsequently cut by the use of lemon and apricot.

29: Olives Ferran Adrià [$10.00]
Liquid 'olives'. A nod to his former teacher, the "olives" consisted of an olive flavored liquid encased in a thin membrane. I'm not sure what the hype is all about, it tasted like an olive, nothing more.

30: Traditional Ottoman carrot fritters [$7.00]
With pistachio sauce. The fritters had a decidedly "Indian" taste to them, which I rather enjoyed. I also appreciated their texture, which was not unlike that of a hash brown. Nice!

31: Stewed baby carrots [$8.00]
With coconut sorbet and ginger. The sorbet by itself was superb, with a rich taste of coconut backed by a lovely cool creaminess. The carrots were also quite tasty by themselves. But when eaten as a whole, the dish just fell apart for me, with its quasi-Thai flavor.

32: Taylor Bay scallops [$10.00]
With beet nitro, pistachios and arugula. All I could taste was the sweetness of the beets and berries, locked in some sort of frozen mass. Were there even scallops here? Could've fooled me!

33: Watermelon tomato skewers [$15.00]
With Pedro Ximénez reduction and sexy tomato seeds. Yes, the tomato seeds are actually described as "sexy" on the menu. But sexy or not, this was damn good. The tartness of the tomato formed the perfect foil for the watermelon, and the whole mélange was ridiculously juicy to boot.

34: Warm leek salad [$8.00]
With goat cheese and lemon dressing. I don't recall the particulars about this dish, but I do remember that I didn't care for it. The table agreed with me, and these were left largely untouched.

35: Japanese eggplant [$8.00]
With soy sauce-miso glaze and yogurt. Continuing the trend from the previous dish, this was pretty awful. I'm not sure what else to say. I don't think it had a single redeeming quality. Sorry.

36: Papas Islas Canarias [$8.00]
Salty wrinkled potatoes with "mojo verde." The potatoes were delightfully salty and very delicious on their own, with an absolutely lovely texture. They were even tastier when dipped in the piquant mojo sauce. Simple, yet effective, this was one of the highlights for me.

37: Traditional tzatziki [$7.00]
Diced cucumbers, garlic, dill and yogurt, served with pita chips. A very straightforward preparation of tzatziki, this would've been a great starter, but just seemed out of place at this point in the meal. Nothing wrong with it though.

38: Pisto Manchego con flor de calabaza [$9.00]
Sautéed peppers, zucchini, onions, eggplant and tomatoes with squash blossoms and egg. Here we have basically a medley of sautéed vegetables, decent on their own, but made much better by the unifying presence of the soft boiled egg.

39: Tortilla de patatas 'al momento' [$7.00]
Classic potato omelet prepared at the moment. I actually quite liked the flavor of this course, but its soft, creamy, foamy texture just seemed a bit incongruous to the dish's character.

40: Setas al Ajillo [$9.00]
Sautéed wild mushrooms in garlic and aromatic herbs. Sautéed mushrooms can hardly be bad, and certainly this was no exception. At the same time though, it's not like this brought anything new to the table.

41: Buñuelos de Bacalao [$8.00]
Codfish fritters with honey aioli. I'd appreciate another type of fish here, as I found the cod rather mushy and a touch fishy, though the aioli did help with the latter problem. Next!

42: Ibérico ham and pineapple [$12.00]
With fennel sherry dressing. While I was eating this, all I could think of was Hawaiian pizza (not necessarily a bad thing mind you). What really stood out to me though wasn't the ham, but the sweet juiciness of the pineapple.

43: Gambas al ajillo [$12.00]
Sautéed shrimp with garlic and guindilla pepper. Nice texture on the shrimp, but the accompanying sauce was just plain strange. I don't know what it was, but it certainly didn't taste like garlic or pepper. I thought the equivalent dish at The Courtyard was much better.

44: Jicama wrapped guacamole [$10.00]
With micro cilantro and corn nuts. I didn't get much of the supposed corn nuts, but the jicama wrapper added a lovely crunch to the smooth creaminess of the guacamole. Very light and refreshing, with a great avocado taste.

45: Bogavante a la Gallega [$15.00]
Galician-style lobster medallions with olive oil crushed potatoes and smoked paprika. I ate the claw of the lobster and was duly disappointed, as I found it overly salty and limp in texture. The potatoes were quite good though I'm told.

46: Endivas con queso de cabra y naranjas [$8.00]
Endive with goat cheese, oranges and almonds. Not bad, but not great, the whole thing just sort of melded together taste-wise and nothing was particularly discernable. Juicy though.

47: Butifarra con ceps y montgetes del gantxet 'Daniel Patrick Moynihan' [$9.00]
Homemade pork sausage with white beans and ceps. Daniel Patrick Moynihan was a US senator from New York, and apparently he was a huge fan of these sausages. I'm not as enthusiastic, though it certainly wasn't bad. It just lacked the rich flavor and juiciness that I'd hoped for.

48: Patatas Bravas "New Way Jose" [$7.00]
José's fried potatoes with aioli and spicy tomato sauce. The tomato sauce here tasted basically of ketchup, and the whole dish seemed rather blunt and unrefined. "No way José!"

49: Trucha a la Navarra [$8.00]
Seared trout with Jamón Serrano, Navarra style. We found this far too fishy and just not very good in general, one of the worst preparations of trout I've had actually. We didn't exactly end the meal on a good note here.

At nearly two feet long, this was certainly the longest bill I've had, though not the highest. Thankfully, the amount shown was subsequently cut in half. You see, I originally had a reservation for the 10th, and because the opening date of the restaurant was pushed back to the 17th, I received a 50% discount on the food. Not a bad deal if you ask me!

I think there are two things that need to be addressed at The Bazaar. First is the food. Though we had some great dishes, we also had some truly god awful ones. I mean, some of it just tasted plain bad (as in, what were they thinking putting this on the menu?). Indeed, many of the dishes are very ambitious in terms of flavor pairings, and while I appreciate such novelty, sometimes it just doesn't work. I think what needs to happen is that the menu needs to be rationalized, to cull out the weaker dishes, and perhaps add some new ones to make up the difference. Hopefully, if you're thinking of going to The Bazaar, I've been able to help in deciding which the stronger dishes are. I do think there is a lot of potential here though; the place simply needs time.

Moving away from the food now, I was actually much more put off by the no photography policy that the restaurant has. While we were waiting for our table, we were told that we could not photograph the decor, because it was designed by Phillipe Stark and thus "copyrighted." Now, I'm no lawyer, but this sounds like a BS reason and I question if it's legally defensible. Note that XIV was also designed by Stark and we encountered no such "copyright" issues there. Once we were seated, we were informed by the "manager" (I didn't get her name) that food photography was similarly prohibited; she then directed me to Andrea Sun, a public relations manager, who reiterated that line. Interestingly, one of my dining companions later told me that he'd received permission from Andrea to photograph the food earlier in the night, so perhaps the restaurant needs to hold a consistent line on this. Except for that, I actually didn't have a problem with the service, and in fact, give a lot of credit to our server for handling our sometimes mercurial requests. I will say though that I don't plan on coming back until the restaurant institutes some less ridiculous policies.

wow kevin...that must have taken you a lot of time to eat...and to blog. it seems to me that the restaurant took too many chances on the food pairings and they often didn't work out. but if they were sooo bad, how were they greenlit? also, how were you able to take photos if they were adamant on not allowing you?

Hey Kevin. Great post. With all that food we ate, it all became a blur. I mostly agree with you, but I'm wondering if some of those dishes at the end were truly bad, or if we were just way too full to enjoy? Regardless, amazing evening with you all.

Will: The fullness probably had a bit to do with it, but I imagine the "bad" dishes could have been at best mediocre if we weren't full. It was a fun night nevertheless.

Oh my... You've given me a lovely menu in advance to choose from when I go there !!!

For not being allowed to take pictures, you did a great invisible act :)

I think that rule is pure pretension on a restaurant's part.

Did you like #1 or #42 better of the ham dishes ?

I found 3, 6, 12, 13, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36 and 44 positively intriguing !

No wonder you didn't have any room for dessert after that enornmous meal ! The dessert station looked gorgeous though :)

loving annie: #1 for sure. And those other numbers you mentioned were definitely the stronger dishes of the set. It was a real shame we couldn't do dessert though.

mattatouille: It's not just the number of courses, but their size and timing that come into play. At Bazaar the tapas were larger than anticipated and we had lulls in the meal that allowed us to get full. But then you can do a 35 course meal at Urasawa and still be hungry afterward.

matt: Thanks. It would've been an even better feat had I been able to try everything on the menu as I'd planned though.

I'm still of the vein that 3 solid courses is preferred to 35. It's like the pleasure of one wife to eighteen. Sure eighteen sounds great on paper but in the end you're only make to take one home. three courses doesn't equal one? Well it's really just one: one appetizer, one entree, one dessert. Still, tasting menus have their place, but when it comes to food I eat every day, 3 is de rigeur. In korean food you get 2.5 - banchan makes up appetizer and accoutrement for entree, you got your entree, then a very brief dessert, perhaps some permission-spice drink or shik-hwe, or some sliced fruit. You're on the (lucky) fringe for getting to eat these spectacular meals, so we'll just have to keep watching and living vicariously through you. cheers.

Loved the whirlwind of gossip this stirred up on Eater LA - but wow, what a photo overload!

I too have gripes with no photo policies (esp. since I make them quick, discreet and flash-free!) but I'll respect them if brought up. That also means the consequent blogpost about them will be that much less visually appealing, though, esp. since I make some effort to pick out the most flattering pics.

And sidenote, one of these days at a potluck or whatever, I should make one of my near-perfect mojitos for you to try ;)

mattatouille: I would agree that for day-to-day meals, ~3 is perfectly fine. Once in a while though, a tasting menu is in order. 3 solid courses for 35 mediocre ones, sure. But 3 solid for 35 solid, I'd have to go with the latter, though not every day. ;)

h.c.: Yeah I do need to try your mojito one of these days. I remember you bringing the issue up before as well! Wasn't there that potluck planned at Sarah's? ;) Now I'm off to respond on Eater LA...

If you like these epic meals, I'm surprised that you haven't made it to Providence for the chef's menu yet -- after Urasawa, there isn't a better tasting menu in LA at the moment -- 15 or 16 courses of the best chef Michael can put out. Just have to make sure to go on a night he is in the building (ie not Sunday or Monday).

An afterthought: An interesting evening, but with a decidedly negative ending -- $15.40 for parking ($14 plus a 10% stick-it-to-the-sucker local tax) was just too much. As good as José's food is, we'll stay away until the SLS folk stop this "highway robbery".

Kevin - just wanted to thank you for such a comprehensive review. Will be visiting LA later this month and after being unimpressed by Cantu's Moto I'm eager to experience a different (non-set-menu) take on "mg"

I can always count on your blog to keep me up to date on where to check out in Cali.

You're quite welcome uhockey. I would posit that Andres' cuisine is a bit less "mg" than Cantu's, probably to good effect. And although I wasn't entirely enthused by the meal documented in this post, Bazaar has improved markedly since this visit, according to nearly everything I've read since.

kevin..just went to bazaar the other night. when i look back onto the evening..i saw a lot of show and pomp and not really really great food. a lot of the dishes seemed to be described like they some incredible discovery of taste, texture and reality warm potatoes and a pesto sauce just isnt too impressive. the braised cheeks were good, the jicama and avocado was tasty...but the chicken croquets tasted like chicken tenders with cream of mushroom sauce on it. 9 bucks for watermelon and tomatoes? doesn't really make sense. philly cheesteak with air-bread and the olive juice in the membrane might be impressive if i was in the kitchen, but tasting it...just not thrilled.

maybe i should have a talk with the chef like you did. maybe i am missing the point?

Paul, I don't think you're missing the point necessarily. Your assessment echoes some of my own sentiments. I liked some of the dishes I tried, but many are indeed heavy on the "pomp," so to speak. There are hits and misses, but fortunately, it looks like the ratio of hits-to-misses is increasing.

Hey Kevin,

They now downgraded the rule to "Chef's wishes" as oppose to the "no photos" rule.

The chef wishes is that no photo can be taken of the food, but you can take photo of anywhere in the restaurant. Not kidding about it. They basically contradict the statement they made to you that night. LOL

"The chef wishes is that no photo can be taken of the food"

So you're saying that food photos aren't allowed? It seems like people haven't had any problem with that lately.

The manager saw me taking photos and sort of gave a lecture to our table about the chef's wishes is that his food doesn't get photograph. He didn't prohibited anyone from taking photos of the food, but just gave a stern reminder about the chef's wishes.

He said that we can take photos of anywhere in the restaurant, but just not the food. He didn't stopped me from taking the photos the rest of the night and none of the staff seemed to mind. I think he's just trying to stop people of taking too many photos, but it's not going to work if the restaurant has too many inconsistent rules about photos.

Sigh. Sounds like they still haven't figured out the photo policy. So you're not *supposed* to photograph the food, but it's tolerated.

The food is great but the service and the people who lounge around the lobby can be total LA douchebags. This alone ruins the entire experience. Hopefully Jose moves this restaurant or starts another one at a more classy place in the future.

Agree about some of the crowd at Bazaar. The douches are a spendy bunch though, so it's sort of inevitable given the location.

I've actually read somewhere that Andres is planning to open up new restaurants, not sure where though. I seem to remember Jaleo in LA.

I spent three hours photographing the 21 dishes we had at our tasting, and nobody gave us one bit of trouble. *shrug*

Everything was fantastic, and for the $95 tasting menu we got 20 dishes. Pretty good deal, too.

Sean, thankfully the photography policy appears to have been relaxed since my visits, as you noticed.

I do like the new tasting menu options.

Great post! We had reservations during restaurant week and upon arrival, we were informed that our reservation does not exist although we called maybe 2-4 hours earlier to change the party size and the reservation then was okay.

We were assured that we would get a table within the hour. However, after TWO hours, we were still not seated. We left and went to SGV to have Pho.But now I can live vicariously through your post!

Ah that's too bad Nancy! Bazaar is worth a try, so hopefully you can make your way back in the future. Also consider trying out Saam.

wow!! i admire your tenacity in documenting every dish here and from urusawa and other tasting menus! and also doing a thorough write up. sometimes when it gets to be too much, i just end up "highlighting" the best and the worst if i don't take notes and it all blurs together.

hearing good things about bazaar, so good to know that we gotta temper the expectations. have you been to animal?

Blogger kevinEats said...

Thoroughness is one of the things I pride myself on. I use a notebook, as there's no way I could possibly remember all the details in a meal like this. ;)

If you're thinking about Bazaar, then I'd consider Saam instead.

Haven't been to Animal though unfortunately.

I didn't see the cotton candy foie gras on your list. I'm not a big fan of foie gras but was surprised on how much I liked the combo of foie gras and cotton candy. The desserts at the patisserie aren't the best I've ever had but their hot chocolate mousse was mouth watering.

The Social is working on a chef's menu for our group in SAAM. I'll keep you posted.

Remember, I went on opening night, two years ago, so I don't think the cotton candy-foie was even on the menu. I definitely wouldn't mind going back to Saam; I say just do their regular 20-courser, which normally is $120.

Why I took part in the Augusta Solidarity March

On Friday, the day Donald Trump officially became the 45th president of the United States, I took my daughter to the park with the intention of not thinking about politics. Earlier in the day, I joked with my editor about the day being set aside for mourning. But I really cried when I watched the Obamas welcome the Trumps into the White House.

I live in a very red county now, so it shouldn't have surprised me to see, on our drive to the park, white men standing on the corner of a busy intersection, waving a Confederate flag and holding up a sign that read, "America is back!" My chest tightened, but I pushed it out of my head so I could enjoy playing with my baby girl. She just started walking, so every day is a new adventure with her.

But the next day, Saturday, I joined about 600 people from the Augusta area to march in solidarity with the historic Women's March on Washington.

Clinical Psychologist

As a therapist, I’ve often had clients coming in hoping to get some advice on what course of action they should take to resolve their problems. In reality, what I do as a therapist is to form a collaborative working relationship with my clients to help them understand more of themselves and identify personal strengths and resources to resolve problems. I believe that when my clients are able to express their thoughts and feelings in a safe and accepting place, they will harness their potential in reconciling painful issues and start working towards their goals in therapy. The process of therapy could be painfully awakening, but nonetheless fulfilling.

I completed a clinical internship at the Psychiatric Department, Penang General Hospital where I conducted neuropsychological assessments for patients with brain trauma and provided supportive therapy for in-patients on various mental health issues.

I was a social medical worker at the hospital and also volunteered my services at an NGO that provides interventions for children with developmental and learning difficulties. I was also part of the psychological team for the Yu-Shu (China) Post Earthquake Psychological Relief Work.

I have been actively practicing as a psychologist in private practice for the past four years, doing both psychological assessments and psychotherapy on a full-time basis. A large part of my clinical work included conducting psychoeducational assessments for children and adolescents with learning and behavioral difficulties (i.e. autism, ADHD, and cognitive delays etc) to help them identify their learning strengths and needs as well as to explore best interventions with their parents. My clinical portfolio includes working with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety and phobias, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, selective mutism, school refusal, self-harm, anger, bullying and trauma.

I speak English, Mandarin, Malay and Hokkien.

Master of Clinical Psychology, HELP University
Bachelor of Social Science (Hons) Psychology, Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR)

Another America

There are days when I am envious of my hens:
when I hunger for a purpose as perfect and sure
as a single daily egg.

If I could only stand in the sun,
scratch the gravel and blink and wait
for the elements within me to assemble,
asking only grain I would
surrender myself to the miracle
of everyday incarnation: a day of my soul
captured in yolk and shell.

And I would have no need
for the visions that come to others
on bat’s wings, to carry them
face to face with nothingness.
The howl of the coyote in the night
would not raise my feathers, for I,
drowsy on my roost, would dream
of the replicated fruits of my life
nested safe in cartons.

And yet I am never seduced,
for I have seen what a hen knows of omnipotence:
nothing of the miracles in twelves,
only of the hand that feeds
and, daily, robs the nest.

The things I wish for are:
A color. A forest.
The devil and ice in my mouth.
that can’t be owned.
A leopard, a life, a kiss.
Never let me down.
To know that you have wanted me too
is as good as the deed
of trust.

Remember the Moon Survives

Remember the moon survives,
draws herself out crescent-thin,
a curved woman.  Untouchable,
she bends around the shadow
that pushes himself against her, and she

waits.  Remember how you waited
when the nights bled their darkness out
like ink, to blacken the days beyond,
to blind morning’s one eye.
This is how you learned to draw
your life out like the moon,
curled like a fetus around the

shadow.  Curled in your bed,
the little hopeful flowers of your knees
pressed against the wall,
its mockery of paint,
always the little-girl colors
on the stones of the ordinary prison:
the house where you are someone’s
daughter, sister, someone’s flesh, someone’s

blood.  The Lamb and Mary
have left you to float in this darkness
like a soup bone. You watch
the cannibal feast from a hidden place
and pray to be rid of your offering.
The sun is all you wait for,
the light, guardian saint of all the children
who lie like death on the wake

of the household crime.  You stop
your heart like a clock: these hours
are not your own.  You hide
your life away, the lucky coin
tucked quickly in the shoe
from the burglar, when he

comes.  Because he will, as sure
as shoes.  This is the one
with all the keys to where you live,
the one you can’t escape, and while
your heart is stopped, he takes things.
It will take you years

to learn: why you held back sleep
from the mouth that opened in the dark;
why you would not feed it with
the dreams you sealed up tight
in a cave of tears; why
the black widow still visits you,
squeezes her venom out in droplets,
stringing them like garnets
down your abdomen,
the terrifying jewelry of a woman
you wore inside, a child robbed

in the dark.  Finally you know this.
You have sliced your numbness open
with the blades of your own eyes.
From your years of watching
you have grown the pupils of a cat, to see

in the dark.  And these eyes are
your blessing.  They will always know the poison
from the jewels that are both embedded
in your flesh.
They will always know the darkness
that is one of your names by now,
but not the one you answer to.
You are the one who knows, behind
the rising, falling tide
of shadow, the moon is always

whole.  You take in silver
through your eyes, and hammer it
as taut as poems in steel
into the fine bright crescent of your life:
the sickle,
the fetus,
the surviving moon.

Slow Down and Read a Book!

So last week was my roughest week of chemo so far.  All my side effects were magnified, especially the nausea and fatigue.  It pretty much forced me to slow down.  Last Friday I spent the whole day in bed or in the house and all I did was journal, pray, sleep and read.  I read an entire James Patterson book in one day (mindless, easy reading) and then started To Kill a Mockingbird for the third time—just finished it and I remember why it is such an amazing book—am reading it with Micah now. This got me thinking about how much I love books and reading.  I buy books, download books, and can read books really fast.  Others watch tv or movies in their down time, but I read.  People ask me, how do you have time to read so much?  Well, I read every night before I go to bed for at least  45 minutes.  I usually read two books at a time—one fiction and one Christian non fiction.  It gives me time to relax and at the same time challenges me.  So I thought I would share with you, my blog readers, my all time top books.  Maybe you can choose some to read with your kids, or with your family or just for yourself.  Here we go:
Book List for younger readers:
The Little House on the Prairie series.  Loved this when I was a kid.  Loved the tv series too.  Can’t believe Melissa Gilbert is all grown up.
Anything by Dr. Seuss—he has such wisdom about life
Bridge to Terebithia—total crier—the movie was great as well.
The Giver by Lois Lowery—my all time favorite book.  My favorite book to teach when I taught middle school.  Got Micah to read it in fifth grade and he loved it!
My favorite authors:  Jodi Picoult and Kristen Hannah—they have both written a ton of books.  My favorites by Picoult are Salem Falls and The Plain Truth.  My favorite by Hannah is Between Sisters.
My favorite classics:
To Kill a Mockingbird—Harper Lee
Catcher in the Rye—Salinger
The Great Gatsby (fabulous movie too, am re-reading it again this summer with Noah)
A Separate Peace –John Knowles
The Scarlet Letter—Hawthorne—loved this book—so fun to teach!
Lord of the Flies—another favorite to teach on—by William Golding
Of Mice and Men—one of my top favorites.  First book that I absolutely bawled my eyes out and couldn’t stop thinking about it for days.  Loved when Noah read it in Honors English for high school—we had some great discussions.
Other favorites—either through book club or on my own:
The Kite Runner
The PoisonWood Bible—all time top!
Language of Flowers
Rain of Gold
House of the Spirits
Thirteenth Tale
Boy in Striped Pajamas—Noah read this after me and loved his reaction when he “figured out what was coming”
Peace Like a River
The Little Way of Ruthie Leming: which by the way I just picked up two weeks ago—about a woman with cancer in a small town and how her community rallied around her—thought it was fiction, but it was a memoir by her brother—such an amazing book—a lot about family, small towns, community, and faith.  A must read!
The Red Tent
Mindless reading:  James Patterson books—plot driven and fast paced.  Beach reading.
Christian—Non fiction
If You Want to Walk on Water you have to get out of the Boat—John Ortberg
Purpose Driven Life (Rick Warren)
Jesus Plus Nothing =Everything
Radical and Follow Me by David Platt
Crazy Love by Francis Chan
Love Does—Bob Goff (our friend!)
Ann Voskamp—One Thousand Gifts—this has helped me through my cancer journey so much!
Kisses from Katie (Katie Davis—young girl who started a ministry in Uganda)
Anything by CS Lewis—especially Mere Christianity and Screwtape Letters.  He is my favorite Christian writer!

So there you go my friends.  Pick a book and read!  Read alone, with a book club, with your kids, with a friend.  Challenge yourself with a classic or a good Christian book.  This is just a mere list of the many books that have impacted my life.  I will be reading quite a bit as my cancer journey continues.  I have been told by all my doctors that I need to slow down, sleep more, and rest.  So reading will be how I spend this down time. Blessings to all of you and thanks for your continued support and prayers!

Ooo I love having good recommendations because sitting to read a good book is even better to me than eating chocolate...and that's saying something. I'm glad you are going to slow down and let your body fight!!!

Dientzenhofer Kilián Ignác called also Dienzenhofer

*1689 (Prague), †1751 (Prague)

German born Czech architect, son of K.Dientzenhofer.One of the most important representatives of peak baroque style in the Czech countries who continued in the footsteps of his father and J.B.Santini and who also cooperated with his son-in-law A.M.Lurago at the end of his life. He studied in Prague and Vienna, he travelled to Paris and Italy and he settled in Prague in 1715.He mainly worked for church orders (at the begining for St.Benedikt Order), to lesser extent for nobility. He created an original style based on penetrating oval spaces, later on he made the buildings simpler and he conformed to the Classicist trend; at the end of his creative life he succumbed to the Rococo style. From 1737 he was the chief fortress builder in Bohemia.

Not an insignificant piece of my work in pastoral ministry has been designing communication materials, posters, websites, etc. I am undeniably self-taught and don't claim to be professional in this area. Never-the-less, I find the occasional creative outlet of design to be both rewarding and energizing.

I'm thrilled to have partnered with the very talented Kevin Coleman and Adam Newbold on many different projects at the church. They truly are professionals in the craft!

The included pieces in this gallery are examples of some of my design work.

Welcome to the Farm at Kennebec Valley Community College!

The Kennebec Valley Community College Farm is both an educational and production based farm meant to enhance the learning for the Sustainable Agriculture associate degree, the KVCC community, and the local community around the College.  The farm provides a learning lab for classes while demonstrating models of organic crop production and sustainable livestock.  We strive to build a healthy college community fed on nutritious, local, and organic food while in a sustainable relationship with the land.

The farm is on 120 acres at the center of the College's Harold Alfond Campus in Hinckley, Maine.  The farm includes a classroom, renovated barn spaces, greenhouses, and other infrastructure.  The farm at KVCC currently grows three acres of MOFGA certified organic vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers.  Our rotation includes cover crops and the integration of our animals in a no-tillage model.  We believe in growing a wide range of crops both for the educational gain of our students and to promote a biodiverse growing landscape.  The crops grown on the farm by students are marketed through a College Community Supported Agriculture program as well as to our Culinary Arts program and café.

All our livestock are raised sustainably on pasture and rotated for both the health of the animals and land.  We are currently focusing on raising sheep, chickens, pigs, and turkeys.

Emergency Dental Services In Kitchener & Waterloo

Emergency Dental Centre specializes in providing excellent emergency care and exceptional dentists in the Kitchener and Waterloo areas. With a strong team of expert dentists in Kitchener, we are well equipped to provide effective treatments when dental emergencies arise. We understand that not everyone has a regular dentist or that their regular dentist in Kitchener is unable to see them during emergency situations. In order to fill this gap, we offer a variety of services from emergency root canals to treating complications that could have resulted from a previous dental surgery or procedure. Our hours are across a flexible time frame that exceeds regular dental office hours to help you when a dental emergency strikes. No matter the case, you can count on us to take you in as soon as possible to provide you with the emergency care, compassion and professionalism the situation calls for.

What to do during a dental emergency

The truth is, dental emergencies can really come out of nowhere and they can be very painful and scary experiences. Here are some tips to minimize pain and some information on what to do until you can see an emergency dentist in Kitchener.

If there’s a sudden strike of pain in your teeth, it means you must see a dental professional as soon as you can. This type of pain does not go away on it’s own and often continues to get worse.

Call your dentist in the Kitchener or Waterloo areas to investigate the source of your tooth pain immediately. In the mean time, consider taking a trip to your local pharmacy to purchase OTC painkillers to remedy the pain.

Chipped and Broken Teeth

If you experience a chipped or broken tooth you are likely to experience a lot of pain with it.

Here’s what to do: It’s important to rinse the blood out of your mouth with salt water. This will also ensure that you do not expose the tooth nerve to any food debris, which can cause infection. Salt water acts as a soothing agent to the pain and a light rinse can help immensely. Never scrub the area. If the salt water doesn’t soothe the pain it’s important to call your dentist in the Kitchener or Waterloo area to alert them of the problem right away.

Seeing a dentist within the hour is ideal however, if that isn’t possible, buy some OTC painkillers at your local pharmacy to keep the pain down until you can see your dental professional in the morning. If your local pharmacy carries dental wax, you can also place that against the chipped area to protect it from further damage until it can be repaired.

Lost fillings and Crowns

Lost fillings become obvious to a person when they run their tongue over it. They will feel the sharp dislodged filling and possibly experience some pain.

Here is what to do: Purchase dental wax at your local pharmacy and place it over the filling to ensure that the tooth nerve is not exposed.

For lost crowns, taking specific precautions to protect the tooth will help you manage the pain and reduce any chances of damage or regression.

Here is what to do: Purchase cotton swabs and clove oil from your local pharmacy and swab the tooth with the oil.

Next, gently replace the crown back with toothpaste. Never use any other substances like glue to put your crown back in place. This is a good temporary measure until you can see your dental professional.

For any other injuries to the mouth, it’s important to rinse the mouth with salt water and to apply pressure to the area of mouth with some gauze from your local pharmacy. This help to stop bleeding and the salt water will disinfect the mouth reducing any chance of infection.

Knock-Your-Socks-Off Art and Literature
Issue 3: Spring 2015
Nonfiction: 315 words

Author Commentaries on Haibun Stories

Charles Hansmann:

My previous haibun were mostly of the standard one-paragraph, one-haiku variety, with the prose more of a prose poem than a prose narrative. So your focus on haibun fiction for issue 3 provided a new adventure for me. While haibun is already a hybrid form of prose and haiku, I had expected to find that the additional ingredient of narrative (or implied narrative) would affect only the prose, and was surprised to find that it also had a very strong influence on the haiku.

My haibun have always been fictional in a sense, more imagined than reported, but in thinking of them expressly as fictional haibun or, another term you use, haibun stories, the element of narrative played a strong part, and what surprised me was that this narrative element seeped into the haiku as well as the prose.

I found that with a narrative thread running through the prose I also wanted to have a similar movement linking the haiku. This decision to stay within the context was constraining, but in compensation the haiku pushed against the boundaries of the context to make it larger.

Kika Dorsey:

So because of you, my next book will have several haibun. The form appeals to me, although I suffer with the haiku.

Dan Gilmore:

For what it’s worth, one of my tentative discoveries thus far is that longer prose pieces don’t work as well with haiku as shorter ones. Or said another way, it’s more difficult to find a suitable haiku for longer prose pieces. My second tentative discovery is that the haiku forces me to have a clear idea about what the prose piece is about. That is, for a haiku to do its work of deepening and expanding, the prose has to be absolutely clear.

Why is exercise important?

Most children love to run, jump, climb and play games. Outdoor activities give kids the opportunity to use up some of their energy, develop coordination, and build strength and confidence. Unfortunately, computers, video games and television, are taking up more and more of children's leisure time. As our kids spend more time inside involved in sedentary activities, they are at higher risk for becoming overweight, feeling tired or lazy, and losing muscle tone.

How much exercise does my child need?

It is recommended that children get at least 60 minutes of exercise every day. It does not have to be done all at once. Short 10 to 15 minute spurts of activity works well too. If your child is not used to exercising very much, have him or her work up gradually to this level of activity.

How can I help my child get more exercise?

  • Try to be a role model. Children that are part a family that has fun doing activities together learn to love the feeling of being active. If you have fun exercising your child will notice and want to do it too. However, do not encourage your child to do adult types of exercise that are not suitable for children such as using a treadmill, stair-stepping, power walking, endurance running, or weight-lifting.
  • Join a team. Encourage your kids to get involved in school sports, dance classes or gymnastics. Basketball and soccer are good sports for even young children to learn. If your school doesn't offer anything, try community resources, such as YMCA or your local parks and recreation district.
  • Try to find an activity your child enjoys. Be sensitive to your children's feelings. If your child feels uncomfortable playing certain sports or exercising in front of a group, try to find something that is more suitable. If the exercise is not fun, your child will not do it.
  • Find a program for your overweight child. If your child has been diagnosed as severely overweight, you can check with your health care provider or child's school to see if there is a local exercise group or program that works with overweight kids.

What if my child doesn't like team sports?

For children that don't want to participate in organized sports or classes, finding ways to get them moving can be more of a challenge. However, there are some forms of exercise that can be done alone or with the family. Your child may enjoy:

  • biking
  • walking or hiking
  • skating
  • swimming

Do some activities as a family. If there is time in the evenings, you can go out for a walk. Smaller children enjoy riding or skating alongside their parents as they walk or jog. You could also go out after dinner and play a game of catch, jump rope or hopscotch. Kids are often more willing and excited to exercise when mom, dad or older siblings are doing it with them. Try to plan weekends where the whole family participates in doing something active.

Active chores can also get kids moving, such as

  • raking leaves
  • washing the car or windows
  • sweeping
  • vacuuming
  • walking the dog
  • simple gardening

For those children, that are very resistant to outdoor exercise, consider exercise videotapes developed just for kids. There is a wide selection of these tapes and your child may prefer this type of activity.

    These marbles were recovered from a shipwreck dating from the late 1800s off the coast of Long Island NY over the first decade of the new millennium. The ship was carrying a cargo which included beer steins, porcelain doll heads and German hand-made marbles. Glass handmades recovered from the wreck were eroded (apparently from sand and surf), but these glazed Crockeries weathered the punishment for 100+ years and they still have a wet mint shine! Only a small minority exhibit any damage, and even then it limited to some missing glaze or as-made touch marks. These are beautiful marbles!

    A dated and hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity attesting to the provenance of your marble is included. Cetificates are printed on premium 100% cotton paper with watermark with raised foil seal embossed with the landofmarbles.com logo. Your certificate will be packed into a capped acrylic tube with the marble for protection.

    Crockery marbles usually have striations of blue or green - these examples are pink, an undocumented color that doubles the book value of the usually seen green or blue - that's a $30 book value!  The fact that these come from a shipwreck practically makes these priceless!  A very rare marble indeed!  When our supply runs out there will be no more!  Dont miss out on these at this price!

-Earned Income Tax Credit for Certain Workers

Posted by Admin Posted on Dec 14 2018

Millions of Americans forgo critical tax relief each year by failing to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a federal tax credit for individuals who work but do not earn high incomes. Taxpayers who qualify and claim the credit could pay less federal tax, pay no tax or even get a tax refund.

The IRS estimates that 25 percent of people who qualify don't claim the credit and at the same time, there are millions of Americans who have claimed the credit in error, many of whom simply don't understand the criteria.

EITC is based on the amount of your earned income and the number of qualifying children in your household. If you have children, they must meet the relationship, age and residency requirements. And, you must file a tax return to claim the credit.

It's easier than ever to find out if you qualify for EITC using the online tool, EITC Assistant. Please contact us for more information!

Are you eligible for any of these tax credits?

Taxpayers should consider claiming tax credits for which they might be eligible when completing their federal income tax returns, advises the IRS. A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction of taxes owed. Some credits are refundable – taxes could be reduced to the point that a taxpayer would receive a refund rather than owing any taxes. Below are some of the credits taxpayers could be eligible to claim:

  • Earned Income Tax Credit This is a refundable credit for low-income working individuals and families. Income and family size determine the amount of the EITC. When the EITC exceeds the amount of taxes owed, it results in a tax refund to those who claim and qualify for the credit. For more information, see IRS Publication 596, Earned Income Credit (EIC).
  • Child Tax Credit This credit is for people who have a qualifying child. The maximum amount of the credit is $2,000 for each qualifying child. This credit can be claimed in addition to the credit for child and dependent care expenses. For more information on the Child Tax Credit, see Pub. 972, Child Tax Credit.
  • Child and Dependent Care Credit This is for expenses paid for the care of children under age 13, or for a disabled spouse or dependent, to enable the taxpayer to work. There is a limit to the amount of qualifying expenses. The credit is a percentage of those qualifying expenses. For more information, see Pub. 503, Child and Dependent Care Expenses.
  • Adoption Credit Adoptive parents can take a tax credit of up to $13,460 for 2016 and $13,570 for 2017 for qualifying expenses paid to adopt an eligible child. For more information, see Form 8839, Qualified Adoption Expenses.
  • Credit for the Elderly and Disabled This credit is available to individuals who are either age 65 or older or are under age 65 and retired on permanent and total disability, and who are citizens or residents. There are income limitations. For more information, see Pub.524, Credit for the Elderly or the Disabled.
  • Education Credits There are two credits available, the American Opportunity Credit (formerly called the Hope Credit) and the Lifetime Learning Credit, for people who pay higher education costs. The American Opportunity Credit is for the payment of the first four years of tuition and related expenses for an eligible student for whom the taxpayer claims an exemption on the tax return. The Lifetime Learning Credit is available for all post-secondary education for an unlimited number of years. A taxpayer cannot claim both credits for the same student in one year. For more information, see Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education.
  • Retirement Savings Contribution Credit Eligible individuals may be able to claim a credit for a percentage of their qualified retirement savings contributions, such as contributions to a traditional or Roth IRA or salary reduction contributions to a SEP or SIMPLE plan. To be eligible, you must be at least age 18 at the end of the year and not a full-time student or an individual for whom someone else claims a personal exemption. Also, your adjusted gross income (AGI) must be below a certain amount. For more information, see chapter three in Publication 590-A, Contributions to Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs).

There are other credits available to eligible taxpayers.  Please contact us so we may realize your specific situation, and offer advice.

If you have any questions regarding Essential Business Accounting, Domestic Taxation, International Taxation, IRS Representation, U.S. Tax Implications of Real Estate Transactions or Financial Statements, please give us a call at 305-274-5811.

This blog is continuation of my previous blog where I had explained about setting up Communication Management in SAP S/4HANA Cloud:

In this episode I would like to explain the step by step procedure of using SAP API Business Hub so that we can use this to trigger/test our APIs from our SAP S/4HANA Cloud tenant.

1.  Launch SAP API Business Hub from and click ‘APIs’:

2.  Click on ‘Register’ button on top right corner:

3.  Fill up the registration form and click ‘Register’ to get your user created:

You will receive a link for activation on the email id provided by you.

Note: This would be the user which can be used to access other SAP platforms like and SAP Community Network. Hence you can skip Step-2 and Step-3  if you already have a user.

4.  Login with your Username and Password:

5. Search for SAP S/4HANA Cloud and click to open the package:

6. Click on ‘Artifacts’ tab and search for your API (eg: Process Purchase Order), Click to open it:

7.  Go to ‘Resource’ Tab and click ‘Configure’. This will set the target SAP S/4HANA Cloud tenant where this API would be triggered (API Endpoint setting):

8. Provide details for configuration and click ‘Ok’:

Endpoint Alias: give any name

host: Host name of your SAP S/4HANA Cloud tenant (eg:

port: Port name of your SAP S/4HANA Cloud tenant (check with your Administrator)

Username: Username of your Communication User (refer previous blog)

Password: Password of your Communication User

9.  Your API Endpoint is now configured and ready to be used. Select the configured API Endpoint  from drop down:

These steps have now enabled us to trigger this API in our own SAP S/4HANA Cloud tenant, based on the method we need (like GET, POST etc.).

In my next blog, I would be explaining the steps to use ‘GET’ method of this API for fetching data from SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

Stay Tuned!

Disclaimer: This blog is based on SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1711 release.

First there was Freud and psychoanalysis.  Psychodynamic therapy or psychoanalysis is still available, but research has brought us more and in some situations better methods to treat emotional problems and mental illness.

Let's consider five common conditions and the research based approaches therapists use to treat them.

  1. MILD TO MODERATE DEPRESSION  Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an approach to identify negative thought patterns and identify ways to reframe or rethink thoughts in a positive way. Establishing a good relationship with the therapist or counselor is another good indication of how successful the treatment will be.
  2. SEVERE DEPRESSION  Therapy or counseling in combination with an antidepressant has been shown to be most effective in multiple research studies.  Again, it can't be stressed enough that the relationship between the therapist and the client is critical in the success of therapy regardless of the approach used.
  3. SOCIAL ANXIETY  Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been used successfully and validated in research studies to reduce social anxiety. Recognizing and reducing negative thinking is the foundation to this approach.
  4. PANIC ATTACKS  The research validated approach to effectively reduce disabling panic attacks is again Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
  5. TRAUMA  Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) are two effective approaches to reframe negative thoughts and, with the use of a side-to-side motor task such as tapping or eye movements to process traumatic memories in the brain, relieve problematic behaviors secondary to unresolved trauma memories.
