CBR Noodles XO - vegetarian pho

Worth trying, bit too salty to my liking and the quantity was less for a $17 pho. But, hey, this is airport prices

8 hour slow cooked ribs. Red wine, soy sauce, garlic and BBQ sauce.

12 ribs (2 racks of 6) was too big for our slow cooker and I rotated them every 2 hours to get even time sitting in the fluid.

The meat wasn’t melting off the bone, but still tender and juicy.

Sunday roast beef with friends. She always has great Yorkshire puddings.

Pub lunch, steak and ale pie.

[drron]

And food.
Mrsdrron had the seafood entree and the tenderloin.



Whilst I had the Foie gras and the duck breast.




All were excellent.

 

[drron]

The Union Bank restaurant, Orange. Shared dishes.
First kingfish cerviche and beef tartare.



Next duck terrine and stracciatella.



Then bone marrow.


And finally whole snapper and a lettuce and pine nuts salad.



Washed down with a local Sav Blanc.

A surprise last night at the West’s Leagues club Tamworth. Mrsdrron had the garlic prawns and said they were good. I had the smoked brisket and it was excellent.

 

[Ade]

Finally gave in and tried the new Indian place at CBR central. The prices have gone up significantly since they underwent renovation … a “thali” used to be $14.xx is now $18.xx and the quantity has gone down as well.

Were the garlic prawns served with white rice? the prawns look like they have some sauce on them, bordering on sufficiently sauced that it's not dry however, wondering if the rice was right for the prawns?

 

[drron]

I am not sure if rice is right for prawns but in pubs and clubs garlic prawns usually come with rice.

 

[Cossie]

Not Tassie grown as per an article I read a while ago. On sale at Costco, hope it continues. Will report back.

Freya, Collins street Melbourne. We both enjoyed the meal.
Mrsdrron had the asparagus on a bed of onion jam and mushroom broth and then the John Dory with spinach.



I had the kingfish with fennel and solo. Then the duck with endive and finger lime.



We then shared a rhubarb with apple and ice cream.


Good service as well.

First BBQ in new house with my new BBQ. Pork and chicken. 10 satisfied customers. Washed down with some icy cold beer.






As soon as brother in law saw BBQ he asked if he can borrow for New Years Eve.

Simple life is extremely relaxing. Perfect place to get off the grid.
