Went to Cafe Sydney last night because I love the food there. I was hoping to spend a lot but we ended up spending not a lot at all, however everything they cook is amazing – plus it’s one of my favourite vantage points of the harbour. As I’m tired, I’m just going to picture spam.
Let’s get the random out of the way first. With three weeks to go, I had decided I do indeed need to get inspiration while I’m here. Sure, I cook amazing stuff, but I need to recalibrate what I think is amazing – so I booked a degustation with Celcius, apparently one of Adelaide’s top restaurants. From my research, the head chef there used to work in Noma and Marque and a few others I don’t remember off the top of my head. They do, essentially, modern Australian/Contemporary cuisine, which always causes me to giggle as the term is rather akin to what the English language actually is – a mash of other things all in one.
First, a picture of some new flower jars at Argo on the Square! I really liked the purple-ness.
Last night my brother, his friends and I went to Quay. Finally been to Quay! This post will probably contain some incoherent excitement, but whatever. Apart from needing to visit Rockpool, my eating life is complete… almost.
I had been called in on short notice because a friend of my brother’s had pulled out, and no one else could fill the spot. So what if I was secretly hoping I could go! Muahahaha. It was definitely an awesome experience, what made it even more interesting and eye opening was the differences between Quay and Tetsuya’s, and even Rockpool Bar & Grill since they’re the only really super fancy places I’ve been to. So this might even have a little bit of comparing between the restaurants, just because.
Also, this whole blog thing is only half done!
However I went to Single Origin Roasters (because I could), spent way too much on a smoked trout bagel. I asked for a smoked trout bagel, and thought I was going to get a smoked trout bagel in a brown paper bag. Instead, THIS IS WHAT THEY GAVE ME:
An amazing smoked trout on really awesome bagel with side salad IN A BOX IN A BROWN PAPER BAG.
Made me super happy.
