What I ate today - the food thread

[Rugby]

This mornings brunch - Bluff oysters and mince on toast with egg, truffle and beetroot.

 

[Milboo]

Mince on toast! Such a Kiwi thing...I swear it’s my father’s favourite food.

For anyone on a diet ( like me) this is/ was food ( and drink) cough:

Saturday was a Total Fire Ban in the Adelaide Hills so Easter Pizza (tm) was postponed to today. Pork and fennel sausage, green capsicum and mozzarella....

 

[Buzzard]

Going to Sea World Durban made me feel hungry so I went to a place nearby and had beautifully grilled prawns and calamari in a garlic butter.

Slow roasted leg of lamb is today's wood oven offering. Rubbed with olive oil, lemon juice and oregano with a few garlic cloves pushed into the flesh. Don't let the oven go above 150 Celsius and cook for a tad under 2 hours per kg.

That looks just amazing, and as a slow cooked lamb fan I know it tasted amazing too.

A weekend of wood smoke. Some sausages grilled over charcoal, some cold smoked salmon, and a roast leg of lamb

Love catching up on everybody’s meals.

Back to work related functions for me - 5 between this week and next so here are the first two from yesterday

and today (by far the better meal), on my way back to the office aboard my chauffeur driven bus.

I had the prawns + satay plus the barramundi.

Guy next to me exploded both his cherry tomatoes - thankfully getting himself and fellow on the other side. Too late to tech him the art of piercing them gently

Looks absolutely fabulous.

(your beef must not have been very big to have such small cheeks. Maybe it was from a Vealer?)

On a similar subject - it is disappointing when a menu lists lamb shanks, and you only get a single shank.....

Decided to try making steak and cheese pies. Slow cooked beef for the filling and @blackcat20 made the pastry. Nice Coonawarra Cab to go with it

The beef cheeks were small but luckily everything else about it was great.

Lei Garden, CHIJMES, Singapore

Beef steak with mushroom sauce.



There's also kungpow chicken and some sort of bland prawn dish on the plate.

The beef steak was quite nice and just the way I like it cooked, without herbs and spices.

Dinner last night with @boomy at DoubleTree Melbourne restaurant, with their new menu (forgot to get photo of it ):

Really nice and I’d go back [plus got a free bottle of red wine (Little Leaf) to go with it]

Barramundi with a side of shoestring fries





Dessert: parfait IIRC

B2W brings America to Melbourne.

Nice place for lunch between meetings.
