What I ate today - the food thread

[Denali]

My husband's Wellington On The Plate burger Odyssey continues, today it's Beach Babylon and their burger

This may have been the best so far





I had the Pulled Pork Quesadilla and it was really nice

Haven't heard of handout chips before? Burgers do look good though!

 

[PLANT]

Went little Modiva last night..... Expensive, salty, ordered tapas and not coming out together. They could not get 2 desserts out at same time? Wanted 1% for credit card payment!
Busy place, was like master chef presentation of food that tasted good but left feeling still hungry.

Those chips look delicious

Is that just a typo for an 'o' instead of a 'c' as in 'handcut' chips? Or am I not dining in soffhisticated places?

... Or am I not dining in soffhisticated places?

The man that seemed to be in charge was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and what I can only assume was surgically created horns on his head

More than one kid asked him about them while we were there

Parts of last night's dinner at Sarga, Darlinghurst




I like the thinner slices of swordfish as it's quite a meaty fish. The fried onions tasted like banana

I was also afraid to ask. Whatever te case, the chips and burgers in Wellington look pretty good. Will be there in a few weeks so hopefully will get a chance to sample.

Oh well, that explains everything.

The meal at Ezard looks amazing.

I had a good meal the other night at Norsk Dor in Sydney. Different concept in that you get 6 snack/ starters, then choose your main and then only dessert is a Swedish chocolate cake.

Father's Office smashed that one last night. All drinks came out except mine, starter and mains arrived at the same time (and before my drink!), bill was well overcharged, and they want 3% for Amex. :shock:

Some fish and chips at the Park Royal Melbourne airport before an early start in the morning

Looks amazing - I'm assuming by saying incredible you enjoyed it - was it horrendously expensive

 

[Steady]

Had a really nice lamb pie today matched with a Shiraz

At this place that at least 20 odd AFFers are familiar with

Absolutely did.
It wasn't too bad, $160 per head for the food plus $120 for matching wine

Beautiful lunch with some local colleagues over the weekend just outside of Manila

We finally hit Bar Luca after months of talking about it to see what the fuss was about.

I got the vegetarian kumara burger while companions got the chicken karage and the special (some hard to pronounce name, it had rainbow bun and Nerds in the cheese). I don't recommend getting the gluten free bun (super dry and tastes like cardboard). Apparently the Blame Canada is one of their signatures and I don't know how authentic their poutine is.

There's a Willy Wonka special going on and we had fun trying the novelty candy milkshakes.
