00:00
My name is Tobias Fiegel. I'm from Sydney, Australia.
00:04
I've been in Scotland seven, seven and a half years now.
00:08
I decided that it'd be cool to travel and live around this country.
00:11
So I think I moved to the Isle of Skye originally.
00:14
I was living in Denmark for a while.
00:16
Moved to the Isle of Skye.
00:18
Gorgeous.
00:20
It is the pinnacle of just naturalistic beauty
00:25
and just being there and surrounded by it.
00:28
Absolutely gorgeous.
00:29
From Isle of Skye, I moved to Edinburgh.
00:32
I worked in Edinburgh for a couple of years and then moved to Aberdeen
00:35
and later to Glasgow, where I still am.
00:38
There's something about this city. I like this city.
00:40
We're at Extraordinary.
00:42
XO for short.
00:44
And because we're sometimes using that as a name,
00:48
definitely have to have XO on the menu.
00:50
So homemade XO on a couple of the courses here.
00:53
A bit of a fun take on Northeast Asian cooking.
00:58
Northeast Asia, you're thinking Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Korea, Japan.
01:05
This part of the world.
01:07
And it's just the ingredients there, what they do.
01:14
It's very accessible, tasty food.
01:18
And that's what we're doing here.
01:19
Tasty food.
01:20
Some of the dishes cross over.
01:21
A bit of Chinese and Japanese influences on the same dish.
01:26
And there's a platform to showcase food that I just like eating.
01:31
I mean, yeah, let's make it pretty and let's present it in a nice way.
01:35
But it's just food that I want to eat.
01:37
Food that I enjoy cooking and making.
01:40
And it makes the days in a kitchen, which are quite long, very manageable.
