What I ate today - the food thread

[amaroo]

Lovely walk through the Botanical Gardens, came across a pretty classy looking restaurant.... Jardin Tan.

Don't bother is my recommendation.

More tasty home style cooking in the back streets of the Gion area of Kyoto. 2 tables and 5 stools along the bench, we had the stuffed pork/tofu, fried chicken, fish cakes and fried rice, with the obligatory Kirin beer. they did have some French, South African wine by the glass, 650 Yen, not too shabby, although I settled for the beer.



Love this place, clean, no smoking in a lot of public areas, lot's of public toilets that are clean and have paper, great transport system, my only gripe would be that when you do want to 'tip', it's considered extremely impolite and frowned upon.

A day out in Salisbury and this caught my eye

Tuna Nicoise in a local eatery at lunch. All the tuna is around the other side. Must improve my planning of photos.

The $17.00 special at "Fiction Bar" Raby Bay, Cleveland Friday.



I asked for rare and it was perfect.

Today's early lunch - the 4th July special at Vic's Meat Market, Sydney. Cheese burger and pork ribs.

Lois suspiciously like a pre drinks pre rugby lunch.

I can confirm ribs at Meat Market are quality

When offered the menu did you just ask for one of everything? :shock:

I find the Grounds unenjoyable on a weekend when it is overrun with people and pressure to vacate your table. Weekdays are marginally better!

The Potting Shed next door is a nice though. Last time I was there they had a campfire going out the front in a wheelbarrow and you could toast marshmallows while you waited for a table.

I was with family, of course :mrgreen:
two burgers, one big breakkie and a crab omelette (I nicked off some chips from the burger people)

im not a big fan of crowds either. Was my first time today. We were lucky to get a table without too much wait (I guess people just eat and go)

A bit of delicious Italian in Lisbon at Il Giardinetto

Lunch at the Petersham Nursery - beautiful setting but a bit twee for me

 

[OZDUCK]

Part way through Yum Cha at Dragon Palace coughburn Gateway south of Perth. The slightly orange looking Egg Tarts were made with coconut milk and had a very different taste to the "normal" Portuguese Egg Tarts just above them.

As nice as the LAX FL is, IMO the S&P squid isn't on the same level as SYD/MEL

The chefs special schnitzel was delicious.

And the Cheeseburger and fries was delicious as always.
