The "Earthquake" at Swensen's Bangkok. Eight scoops of ice cream. Plus cream and cherries. I also had a mango
smoothie. Delicious.

Miss Mi Melbourne never disappoints - unless you're 5 minutes late for Happy Hour 
Crispy Fried Chicken Wings (always a toss up between this and their Lanb Ribs)
Beef Rendang
Asian greens
Steamed Rice
Ubi Mochi - worth a try but have had better desserts here
Another very pleasant evening with attentive service.

Nothing beats a bad weather day than having lunch with friends at our favourite restaurant. Boca Italian.
Always start with their take on garlic bread.
Then sharing starters. Truffled mushrooms.
Tuna crisp with chilli and chargrilled eggplant.
Calamari.
And carpaccio.
All excellent. Then 2 pasta dishes. Staci with duck ragu and tagliatelle with lamb ragu. Beautiful.
And finally sweets. Cannoli and Limoncello cream with meringue.
Was a late lunch starting at 1530. The place was full.
Thoroughly recommend.

This week is a busy week for lunches. Today was an event at Brisbane Sofitel.
The ponzu sauce was fantastic.

Wednesday’s event was another lunch seminar at the Sofitel.
There was no service for drinks during the event (my table asked for red wine which was delivered) and there was no alternative drop for dessert - only one listed and delivered.
The base was still stuck to the plate for the dessert (they’d been chilled) and the number of loud (butter) knife, fork and spoon sounds hitting the plate was a regular sounds in the last presentation. A couple of attendees lost their desserts off the table trying to “cut” the dessert (much larger sounds of cutlery and crockery hitting the floor).
