What I ate today - the food thread

[Milboo]

Outstanding meal at Chin Chin in Sydney.
- egg noodles with prawn, bug tail, garlic chives and hellfire chilli sauce
- chargrill beef brisket with sweet soy glaze, eaten in cos lettuce with shiso, with a chilli vinegar. This was amazing!
- caramelised sticky pork salad with sour herbs and chilli vinegar
- coconut sago with pineapple granita and lime curd.

Highly recommend it.

This was yesterday’s lunch





The dessert was the standout dish of the day. Firm shell (but not crisp), chocolate was heavenly with the raspberry bombe in the middle oozing out

Could have eaten more - and the waitress came back with a second helping but I had to decline.
