Another Interesting Meal

Dot and I have recently been in Canberra to celebrate Max's 17th birthday - how the years fly by! That was on the 25th June and, on the following day, we gathered at an up-market restaurant to bring family and friends together. It was an expensive gathering as the meal cost A$88 (48 GBP or 66 US$) per head plus c. $40 per bottle of wine. With 7 participants, the whole show must have cost around A$ 690.

What does one get for A$88? Well, it was an 8 component meal!

2    Tom Yum infused prawns with rockmelon and apple.

3    Tea smoked duck breast with pickled winter melon, goji and osmanthos.

4    Whole Barramundi, with Yunnan style roasted vegetables.

5    Tandoorie Chicken.

6    Lamb Rendang.

7    Stir-fried green beans  with oyster sauce, and

8    Dessert.

Some of the courses were quite small in volume, but the whole show had staff busily delivering food and bowls over quite a long time 

This event was held in the Lanterne Rooms. Here are some pictures of the delicious food in question, which I for one ate with chop-sticks:

And here are some of the participants starting with Max himself and friend Ryan, then Dot and her friend Jane, and finally Rebecca and Rob.:

    

Altogether it was an interesting and delicious event.
