It has become our favourite restaurant. Service is very good as well.

We’ll leave it to your tastebuds to choose. We’ll literally eat anything and anywhere. Ok, except offal, and coriander

The net restaurant was Alida. On this occasion I photographed the menu.
.
.
.
.
.
.

And a great selection of gins.
.
.

 

[drron]

To the meal but first their well stocked bar.
.
.

We shared a dozen ponzu oysters. Our new favourite.
.

Mrsdrron had the miso and maple marinated sea trout. A really good dish.
.

I had the market fish wit prawn,scallops and calamari. It also is very good.
.

The next night's dinner was at Me Wah. Our favourite Chinese restaurant. Started by sharing scallops with ginger and shallot and char sui. When sharing they serve the dish on 2 plates.
.
.

Then shared chicken with cashews and a small special fried rice.
.
.

Service as always excellent.

Friday night and we went to the Riverview restaurant. vietnamese. though obviously a different cook tonight as the tastes were different.Not quite as good. The views are nice. Firstly quite a few pelicans.
.
.

That is because it is the outlet from the Trevallyn Power Station.
.

We usually start with the scallop entree.
.

Then I had the beef Pho and mrsdrron lemongrass beef with noodles.
.
.

We ended with the creme brulee just no pic this time.

 

[drron]

After dinner we drove around Trevallyn admiring the flowering gums.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Though some impressive pruning because of the power lines.

Saturday lunch and it was the Clarendon Arms at Evandale. Normally we have come for Sunday lunch but because of the Evandale markets it is a bit of a zoo then.
The menu.
.
.

Washed down with a Pipers Brook pinot gris.
.

Mrsdrron had a Caesar salad with chicken and I went for comfort with a chicken parmi.


.

And a couple of local gardens.
.

My sister has just sent us a link to the Penny Farthing races in Evandale. Tossing it up at the moment. Sat here at Panorama in St Helens having a German beer or four and waiting for pork knuckle but that’s a story for dinner

 

[drron]

@bpeteb you must be psychic.I had just loaded my next lot of pictures and will talk about the Penny Farthing races. however it is $15 to basically stand on the footpaths. There is normally a Village Fair with it but that is not happening. So I probably will not attend. On March 12/13 it is the annual motorama at Longford. On the Saturday $25 gets you a lap at Symmons Plains as a passenger in a vintage racing car. Unfortunately I will be back in QLD pulling out weeds.

Before lunch we took a short walk around the block as we had arrived early.
.
.
.
.
.

And across from the hotel the famous Penny Farthing.

This situation does not augur well for your mental cheerfulness and acuity , (+ your liver ) Dr.Ron
Another career is required asap to avoid a maudlin decline into age driven helplessness
This condition presents as a very common malady that requires a firm hand at the wheel to avoid.

I very definitely have a firm hand on my wheel pointing me in the desired direction.

Sunday and off to the Velo vineyard for lunch. Grapes still on the vines.
.
.

You now have no menu.they deliver a QR code to the table and bring it up on your phone. first a selection of appetisers. A couple were a little spicy so they bring an alternative for mrsdrron. A definite vegetable theme with radish on 3 dishes. Mrsdrron wasn't too keen on that.
.
.

Squid with radish
.

Mrsdrron had a less spicy alternative.
.

Main we have had a few times. Chicken,salsa verde and almonds. Served with roast potatoes.
.
.

Mrsdrron was disappointed today but I did enjoy it.
