Must Try: Chicken Wings, Curly Fries, BBQ Platter and Watermelon Cake from Blackstar

Smoked hot wings – comeback sauce $16

Another birthday lunch and this time it was to celebrate Candice's Birthday. We had a very good turn out of people 12 in total. Amongst them was our good friend Cassie, check out her blog > here < . As we walked into Papi Chulo located in Manly Wharf, we were greeted by a delicious smokehouse smell and the bright lit open kitchen.


The chicken wings were perfectly cooked, so crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside. But the comeback sauce that came with the wings, will make me order this over and over again. It's so spicy and tangy, it makes EVERYTHING taste better. Hold onto the comeback sauce for dipping the curly fries!

Roast cauliflower, romesco, parmesan, brown butter crumbs $15

Cheeeeeeese! This reminds me of El Loco's hot dog. Man.. Papi Chulo makes a good sauce, the tasty romesco tied the dish together. The crispy breadcrumb was an excellent crunchy element for the cauliflower.

BBQ baby octopus – grilled zuchinni flowers, spring onions, soft herbs $19

The seasoning for the salad was amazing, the zucchini ribbons soaked up all the beautiful dressing. Some of the octopus were tender but some were quite chewy.



Papi Chulo BBQ platter half rack lamb ribs, 150gm each of wagyu brisket,
chopped pork and pork belly platter, served with pickles and soft bread $86

MEAT! Smoky smoky tender meat, enough said. Seriously,  every Papi Chulo's sauce is to die for! The smoky BBQ sauce that came with the platter went well with every meat.



Pickles

It had cabbage, radish, cauliflower and green tomato, they were all pickled nicely and it was very appetizing. It went well with the meat.



Curly fries $9

Remember to dip these crispy babies into the wonderful sauces (comeback sauce and bbq)



Vietnamese coleslaw $8

Very generous serving and it helped to balance out the meat overload.



Irvin Fast’s BBQ whole chicken, chilli sauce $25

Another flavorsome sauce, it reminds me of sambal! The chicken was succulent, just like the chicken wings that we had for entrees.



Balmain Bugs, konbu butter $39

The kombu butter screamed umami and it went so well with the bugs.

Baby snapper ,lemongrass, chilli, macadamia, herbs $36

Omg. The flavour of this snapper caught us by surprised. The sharp lime, lemongrass and chilli dressing  perfectly complemented the fish. I can have that dressing all day long.

Warm chocolate chip cookie, vanilla malt ice-cream, butterscotch sauce, macadamia brittle $14

Fresh split banana, chocolate fudge, peanut praline, banana ice cream,
peanut butter ice cream, cherry jam, whipped cream, glace cherry $14

DESSERT TIME! I wish to have this by myself, the cookie was warm and crispy and with the ice cream, butterscotch and the crunchy brittle, it was like heaven in my mouth! A must try if you come here! The Banana split had fresh banana’s and was lathered in cream on the top and of course the traditional cherry.



Black Star Pastry- Watermelon with Rose Scented Cream

Happy Birthday Candice! Every time I get Blackstar Pastry's Watermelon cake, it's always high quality. It's not overly sweet and the rose water in the cream makes you want to have more. The watermelon was fresh and crisp. For most of our table it was their first time trying this cake and they all absolutely loved it. I highly suggest this cake for any celebrations you have coming up!

Papi Chulo, you are indeed Papi Chulo with your sexy sauces and mouth watering meat! The staff were attentive and the view was spectacular which made the meal very pleasant. I would order those chicken wings just because of the comeback sauce. Yup.. I'll definitely come back for ya!
