So life is a lot like an RPG where talking to townspeoeple/shopkeeper gets you rep and unlocks information to get you to new areas lol!
So I got an early heads up about a restaurant that was opening, and managed to visit on day 2 of their soft launch. Apparently called Street_ADL, it’s a wine bar that will have an indigenous Australian degustation restaurant, which I’m really looking forward to as when I hear “indigenous Australian” I think kakadu plum, quandong, saltbush, bush tomato, and Billy Kwong. The chef of the restaurant is also apparently renowned for working in famous restaurants, but I fail and don’t actually recall the names.
As only the bar was open and the restaurant still in progress, I decided to check it out. I’ve been liking grenache recently, but I still fail and only managed to drink half a glass (I had more planned for later!) and decided to check out the bar food. First thing I spotted was pork crackling, oh yes! Perfectly salted with some sort of pate-like dip.
