Today’s food at Periwinkle, Peregian. I had a Tuscan tarte flambe and an apple tart.



Mrsdrron had the spanned crab linguine.



Our guests had the crab soufflé, the duck and crepes Suzette.




Really great food. Full report in Sunshine Coast restaurant thread.

crepes Suzette.

With the fireworks?? Flambé?

 

[drron]

No fire. But obviously a big day for birthdays as lots of little cakes with a sparkler stuck in them came out. None at our table.

Back to Amici in Caloundra tonight. Mrsdrron had the scalloping gung-ho and I the gnocchi gorganzola plus a side of sweet potato fries.




A good place for dinner.

At the Duckstein Brewery in the Swan Valley today. One platter of Nurnberg Bratwurst and the other a Pork Knuckle. We shared the two platters between 5 of us and there was a box of leftovers for tomorrow. The food was fine but not extraordinarily good. The pork knuckle was a lot lighter in colour than what we experienced in Germany and Prague in 2022. As I expected the food was about 2 1/2 times dearer than in Germany last year and the beer about twice the price. There was an even greater difference compared to Prague prices.

I made a mistake and ordered a Dunkel (dark beer). In itself it was perfectly good but I forgot that while I enjoy drinking it in Germany when the temperature is around 15 C it was not quite so nice at 35 C.

Yesterday’s lunch at the Wreck restaurant, Dicky Beach surf club. Mrsdrron had the scallops and I the beef cheeks.




Tonight’s dinner was at Il Vento at the Wharf, Mooloolaba. Mrsdrron had the gnocchi with mushrooms and a creamy truffle sauce and I had the Sardinian pasta with seafood. Both very good.

Went out to dinner in Southbank (Brisbane) whilst daughter and her friends went out for her 16th birthday dinner.

Found a Japanese restaurant run by Chinese. Pity I was looking forward to chatting in my limited Japanese.

Time for a couple of set meals:

Vegetable pies at VA lounge at ADL.

View attachment 318659

They are not "pies", they are pumpkin [sausage] rolls.

They were also available in the SYD VA lounge last Monday evening, along with the more traditional "sausage" rolls.

Both yum!

We had a small family get together for lunch yesterday. My wife decided to go German. We started off with Currywurst (Bratwurst with homemade paste) as a snack - no picture.

Then Beef Stroganoff,and Hahnchenkeulen (German Crispy Baked Chicken) with lots of paprika, cayenne pepper, hot Indian curry powder and honey. Potato bake, baby carrots and two types of beans (one without bacon). The Rotkohl (sweet/sour red cabbage) was from a jar.



We finished off with my contribution of a Cherry/Blueberry Strudel plus custard, fruit salad etc.
