Home pizza definitely better than room service!

Just looked at some of the prices of restaurants on South Bank.
Wow, pure (legal) extortion!

Next time @AustraliaPoochie ,if you stay there or near Southbank around the corner in Kavanagh Street (7 minutes walk) is a cheap and cheerful place called Malay Momma.
No alcohol but a good quick feed - but of course closed this week

Christmas feast. Lots of Tassie produce.

 

[Quickstatus]

I'm still eating Christmas Eve leftovers.
I have 5kg cherries left to go:

Aloft (Hobart). Chef's menu











Everything was high quality and tasty. But a little disappointed that we both left still feeling 'peckish'.

 

[Steady]

5 of my Salami (cacciatore, calabrese, pork, venison, Hungarian) and a Salumi (capocollo) from a few days ago + tonight’s dinner - chicken spun on a GGA Weber with a chunk of nectarine

its good to be home eating my food - food in Europe {Italy, Austria, Germany, Chech, and France (Paris)} was a generally disappointing - I had high expectations, way way too high in hindsight

Wow. It's not easy to find good coppa. Do you take orders for express/emergency delivery to fellow Tasmanians formerly from the NW Coast??

Looks great.
I know how good it tastes thanks to the packs you kindly gifted me. The smoked cheese was great as well.
Travel is wonderful, but it is lovely to come home and have some home cooking.
I trust that you also have a nice bottle to accompany the meal

Lunch JL 31 HND-BKK in F. I had the Japanese meal.

 

[drron]

The wines.










They were all nice wines but my vote goes to Argentina. Never had this type of wine before.

 

[drron]

Mrsdrron went with the western meal and began with the same amusee bouche. The next course was more like a Japanese dish with raw prawns and Kobashira which is a shellfish adductor muscle said to be a delicacy and rarely found on menus. She didn’t like it. I did but not the quinoa.

The rest of her dishes.
First the scallop and vegetables Mille feuille.


Then the rockfish.


The beef.


Absolutely perfect medium rare.
And dessert.


She really liked her meal.
The menu.
