Since the last couple of weeks, I've been flat out at work, no indication its going to end soon. That's "comforting". What is more comforting is that I still have my passion for good food! We have been lucky to savour delicious food once in a while, and to top it off, some are really quite affordable!
Big Brekkie @ Portobello Trattoria (South Melbourne) - heaps of eggs, bacon, hash browns, spinach, sausages, mushrooms and 2 huge slices of toast. (Just to show the size of this, compare the plate with the size of fork at the top right hand corner)
Chicken Parmigiana @ Skinny Dog Hotel (Hawthorn) - Chicken schnitzel covered with leg ham, red sicilian tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Again, another huge and delicious meal.
Eggs in Hell @ Montague Park Food Store (South Melbourne) - Baked eggs covered in spicy tomato sauce, cheese and BBQ sauce. You just have to try this to appreciate it.
Beancurd skin entree @ Kansuiro (Hakone) - Lightly salted topped with black caviar. YUM!
Sashimi entree @ Kansuiro (Hakone) - Sweet, fresh and very nicely presented. Makes it even more delicious than it already was.
Crab shabu-shabu @ Seryna Restaurant (Tokyo) - Very fresh and tender! Too bad we could not find similar in Melbourne.
Fugu sashimi @ Seryna Restaurant (Tokyo) - "dangerously" fresh. :D
Kobe beef @ Seryna Restaurant (Tokyo) - words can't describe how good this piece of meat is. Just melts in your mouth. A must try!
Fatty tuna, salmon roe and sea urchin @ Tsukiji fish market (Tokyo) - Just delicious and fresh. Have to try it to believe it. Can't get any fresher than here.
Frutti Trutti Waffle @ Max Brenner (South Melbourne) - The perfect snack on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Warm chocolate mixed with icy cold ice cream, you decide. :D
Goose pate crab @ Flower Drum (Melbourne) - Never tasted such deliciously baked crab. Meat was juicy and sauce was out of this world!
Mille Feuille de Chevreuil @ Vue De Monde (Melbourne) - One of the best dessert we have tasted. We were appreciating it for a while before eating.
Potato Skin @ Hoags Breath Cafe (Chadstone) - Baked potato skin filled with heaps of bacon and cheese. Enough said!
Seafood Fettucine @ Cerone's Cafe (Malvern East) - Served with huge prawns and calamari. Sauce was well coated and very "light". Just nice!
Seafood platter @ Richmond Seafood Tavern (Richmond) - The seafood was cooked to perfection. When served, scallops, mussells and tuna were still warm and oysters were still cold. Hard to come by even in good restaurants.
