So I went to Rockpool Bar and Grill’s bar for some fantastic no-booking needed yet classy dinner. Ordered their oysters, and the lemon that came with it had mesh over it! Was very happy about that. The garlic vinaigrette dressing that it came with was also tasty, but I think the dressing provided by Tetsuya’s was better. I tend not to like natural oysters, but rather with heavier sauce flavours. Also, I had to taste the best burger in town – David Blackmoore’s full blood wagyu burger. It was interesting that it came as a burger with a nicely toasted bun – that was amazing, but also had two pieces of lettuce and tomato just sitting there on the side, which I thought was a little weird for a place as nice as Rockpool. Either way, the burger had some great flavours. Very simple, but it was nice and not heavy. Also tasted their hand cut chips with tomato sauce, and wow, such clean, natural tasting sauce. The dessert I tried was their dark chocolate pudding tart with chocolate sorbet, which was a little too rich – which meant it was probably very rich. It was delicious though.

Also I think I am turning into an almost real coffee snob. I’m starting to really like espressos – the flat whites I get nowadays are a little underwhelming, even though they used to be so nice. I always get the single origins, but I don’t think I can actually taste the difference between all the beans haha. However it’s a nice feeling and I love that strong hit which is so tasty. Plus the baristas at Workshop and Swallow always make sure the shots are awesome :)

I love food.
