What I ate today - the food thread

Back at Tziki Bar in Forest Glen today. A plate of lamb ribs each with a shared roast cauliflower salad. A glass of Sav Blanc for Mrsdrron and a pint of an IPA from the brewery next door for me

Maybe a good place for a Sunny Coast AFF meet up.
 
Celebrating niece's birthday at a local brewery, what  We ate today. Forgot to snap the Calamari 🫣

Last night I was in Brisbane CBD to give moral support to a friend going through a massive mediation session with his Solicitor & Barrister today.

We went to a little Vietnamese restaurant in Burnett Lane, central CBD:

Pork & Prawn Rolls for entree;

He had a Pho and I had Crispy Skin Chicken for mains. Forgot to take photos of both as we were engrossed in eating and confusing the locals eating by speaking in Japanese (friend is fluent):
 
Lunch today, small wonderful cafe/pottery school, the other side of the river in Luang Prabang, sticky rice with mango and spring rolls, and good coffee, simple but delicious!
We had eaten a lot before I took the photo.... :)

Lunch on Tuesday at Customs House Brisbane:

Loved the fact that it was local Qld produce.

Don’t often eat Quail, it was beautifully cooked and I’d have sucked the bones if I’d been at a street vendor.

Oh my gosh the Eye Fillet was the bomb. Better cooked than the quail. Jus was sublime. Would have liked some vegetables

Lunch at Supernormal Brisbane (never been here before, building on the river near Customs House).

This tuna below was delightful - light, tasty - never had with Orange before but would again and again. Nothing left of the 2 plates after my table of 4 finished (lucky we weren’t a table of 8 as most were)

Another stunning dish. Scraped clean again.

Pulled off the bone with ease. I was in heaven

Polished my dessert off and had a one-on-one with guest speaker after the event where we finished off the desserts left on the tables (they’d been paid for, hate seeing good food go to waste).

By far the best multi small plate meal I’ve had this year.

What we ate this week.
Overnighter in the big smoke Monday with plans for dinner at Miss Mi. Of course, the restaurant is closed Mondays 🤦‍♀️
The adjoining bar has a street food menu and will accept Accor Plus discount.

Shared lamb ribs, chicken wings, Barramundi and vegetarian noodles.

Last night, with our long time favourite Italian joint in Lygon Street changing hands after 51 years, time to gather the family for a final repast.
Mr Flyfrequently has been going there since they opened in 1973. It has been the place for pretty much all our family birthdays and (in)significant occasions.

Conned Flyfrequently offspring into eating calamari by calling them Circle Chips 40+ years ago - oops no photo!

Pasta and pizza

And a chicken schnitty

We will go again before the handover in a few weeks for more Circle Chips - and a photo.
