What I ate today - the food thread

[QF WP]

Lunch in one of the meeting rooms on Level 8 of BNE Hilton.







Let’s see if anybody recognises the speaker:



He sat at our table and I had a good chat after the session.

A very wintery main for a QLD summer lunch!

A simple BBQ to keep wife and daughter happy. Pork, lamb, squid, beef sausages, onions, mushrooms, capsicum, green peppers, egg plant, zucchini.

 

[Milboo]

Not a great photo but an epic pizza!

And especially good tip for those in the White Bay Area in Sydney before or after a cruise as it is right near where the cruise ships berth. Rosso Pomodoro in Balmain.

This was a special - prosciutto, fresh fig on a mozzarella base.

Fat Noodle Banquet for 2 at Brisbane.



Not as good as it looked in the photo. Caramelised pork belly was nice, found a very small piece of chicken in the chicken salad and the pickled vegetables are not for everyone.

The plush pig gift looks good though.

Not too fancy, but a bit of salmon in the back deck bar.
Miso, ginger, soy and rice wine.
We don’t eat out too much these days (pesky kids ) but try make the best of it at home.
Served with rice and stir fried veggies (no pic of plated product, sorry)
Nice.

 

[Buzzard]

Milk the Cow in Melbourne.
4 of us came here for a pre dinner treat. We had a flight of wine and cheese each.

The breakfast menu at our hotel in Brunei yesterday.



The sweet selection we shared.



I have never run across some of these before. Opening this bamboo wrapped one was a fun exercise. It is a pandan flavour kueh and is a traditional treat apparently not often seen even here much nowadays. Obviously a lot of work to make it.



Wajid Temburong. Another local delicacy. Brown, sticky rice and Gulah Malaka plus some flavourings.

Don’t know what happened to the photo of it bbqing....try again

In the only large mall in Bandarr.

Rojak Sotong (Fruit & vegetable salad with a spicy palm sugar, chilli and peanut sauce plus Squid) cost about $4.15.



Chicken Ayam. My wife accidentally ordered two meals, however they only cost about $6.20 in total - with the bandung syrup in water included. The white bundles contain rice, the yellow tub is dahl, the black mixture is soy & chilli and the other tub contained ordinary gravy - talk about a mixture of food origins.

Did not take photos as it would’ve been a bit pretentious for our dinner guests (old and dear friends) but I did try out the new kitchen last night. An amuse bouche of blue cheese and a maple glazed chicken morsel, brodo with clam, monkfish, lobster and tarragon pesto,confit duck with pickled cherry, individual Eton mess with raspberry ice cream, cheese.
Champagne and we opened the Grange so all in all it was a good night.
Still waiting on the mirror splash back though so had to be very careful.

Valentine’s Dinner at Shucks

 

[blackcat20]

We had our V day dinner at Wings and Fins, which is located at Tooradin airport. A lovely view of planes taking off and landing while we ate.

TV's seafood platter:

Haven’t done risotto for a while.

 

[AisleSeat]

For Mrs AS birthday I made these.

Bourbon chocolate cupcakes with pecan and bourbon filling and butter pecan bourbon frosting.

Did I mention bourbon?

 

[Milboo]

They’re impressive!

 

[Steady]

After wood fired pizza last night the oven has cooled down enough for a roast - tonight’s dinner underway

 

[Steady]

Threw a couple of loaves in to have for lunch, gotta love fresh bread that’s warm enough to melt the butter

I have so much admiration for these people and what they are doing. Anyone coming to this part of the world, it's a much visit imo.

Buffalo Dairy, Luang Prabang, Laos. Laos Buffalo DairyLaos Buffalo Dairy

Cheese platter, feta, marinated feta, blue cheese, yoghurt and ricotta and mozzarella with home grown tomato, all very tasty but my favourite was the mozzarella, in fact it was as good as any mozzarella I've had.



They have recently sent 2 tonne of cheese to Japan via refrigerated container, as well as sending cheese down to Vientiane by plane.This year has been hard, apparently tourists to L.P. have been down 20 to 30 percent this high season.
