after fifteen minutes wait outside where we contemplate going to a tavola (seemingly impossible without a booking) or seduce the doormen... we were let in and up the stairs to the bar where we had to wait another hour or so... accompanied by tasty cocktails it wasnt so bad afterall...
Sugar Daddywyborowa vodka, peach liquor and freshly torn mint leaves, sugarcane juice, lychee juice and lime juice... on the hands of every other girl (and some boys) and shamelessly mine too...
Turkish Flat Bread, Zat'ar and Olive Oildefinitely worthy of my weekly portion of wheat... soft and warm.... whatever Zat'ar is... me likey
New York Style Steak served medium rare
Fried Haloumi, Oven-Roasted Tomato, Asparagus & Basil Saladthe flavours mixed-in nicely... and i simply love fried haloumi cheese...
Scallops, pan fried with Parsnip Mash, Caper & Parsley Butter Sauce & Crisp Pancettaparsnip mash was surprisingly nice... although, wasnt much different from potato mash
Prawns, pan-seared, with Garlic, Parsley, finished with Chilli & Lemon Olive Oil
Oven roasted Chicken, provincial style with Tomato, Anchovy, Black Olives & Thyme

Ahh...Victoria Room. It's always too dark to take nice pics, and I know how you hate using flash (mee too).
BTW, Azuma this saturday?
Hey, do you guys have the place called Melting Pot in Sydney ? I guess kalo gak ada, it's an awesome opportunity to open one in Sydney. Kalau ngga, bisa buka dessert place aja (gak usah full meal) yg niru caranya Melting Pot in serving the fondue. Pick the chocolate type, and pick the liquor that we want to pour in. And they have a special pot untuk mix and heat the chocolate. I miss that place... nyum...
i guess the closest thing we have is probably max brenner...
