A night of delightful surprise with a humble menu that only
states the main ingredients. The boy usually isn’t a dessert person and the
modest sounding caramelized banana dessert won our heart.
 |
| Bread Roll + House made Butter $3 |
We enjoyed the warm bread roll while watching the crowd
walking to and from the busy Barangeroo eatery district.
 |
| Cured Swordfish, Pea, Lemon Myrtle |
The hint of lemon throughout the dish made it very
enjoyable. This was actually a complementary dish from the restaurant because
the wait between the dishes were too long (we didn’t actually complain though).
 |
| Torched Bonito, Cumquat, Salad Burnet $24 |
This was nothing like what we imagined the dish would look
like! The bonito had a bit of lovely charred flavour and wasn’t fishy at all.
Eating it with the cumquat had my taste buds playing symphonies.
 |
| Mahi Mahi, Fermented Turnip, Kale, Whey Sauce $44 |
The turnip (the white things that I initially thought was
squid!) was quite pungent on first taste but together with the kale, it was
absolutely delicious.
The fish nestled under the green bed was nicely cooked, so
soft that it required no effort to chew.
 |
| Cowra Lamb Rump, Brassica, Smoked Almond $42 |
We thought we should try at least 1 meat dish here so lamb
it is! The lamb was cooked medium rare and it doesn’t have that gamey taste.
The sauce was however a bit too salty for my liking. We were going to order a
salad but our wait staff told us that all the dishes comes with some vegs so
it’s not really necessary to order a salad. Gotta love an honest wait staff!
 |
| Caramelised Banana, Coffee Ice Cream, Chocolate $12 |
Ok, when we saw this on the menu, we both simply visualized
a caramelised banana split with ice cream and chocolate shavings. This is so
much more than what we envisage and I LOVED it. It had gingerbread and
honeycomb crumbs where the flavours just complemented each other so well. The
ice cream tasted like an espresso – which was perfect. I would come back just
for this.
As we raved on how we loved the dessert, even the waitress
said this dessert surprise most people as it sounds so unassuming on menu.
The restaurant is located near the wharf and it’s a really
nice place to watching the buzzing crowd walking past. I’m already thinking if
we should just come here after work one day to have that dessert again. The
menu changes daily so hopefully it (or a slight variation of it) stays!
