What I ate today - the food thread

Zero81 - at Kingston Beach. Tasty food, good service and a lovely Autumn evening.

A simple, but delicious dinner at place called Number 8 Wire in Rotorua.

Ordering is via tablet at the table, presumably keeping staff costs down.

About 15 mins after ordering a waiter appeared with an extra glass of wine and said “Sorry it’s a bit slow. This one is on us.”

We’d not said anything. Nor were we expecting food that swiftly. Excellent service.

The predictable Miss H went for creamy pasta.


Mrs H had the ribs:


I selected the venison:



And a side of greens to share.


Nothing flash about the place. Just wholesome, delicious food.

Worth considering if in Rotorua.

They had run out of Creme Brulee.....

We will be back for the Brulee - and especially with this view at sunset.

Dining by proxy. Given current circumstances we could not attend but my proxy says the meal was fabulous, one of the best ever. Have eaten at several Rohan places in UK such as L’Enclume etc and was very impressed.

Another lunch seminar - this time at the Calile Hotel, James Street, Fortitude Valley:

There wasn’t a menu, just alternate drops. Main was chicken or beef:





Dessert:

 

[QF WP]

Today was in the private function room of Superbormal restaurant on Queen Street, Brisbane.

Sounded good



Great starter. Light, fresh and a little tangy



They came out as whole breads and needed to be cut. Base was a little overcooked as it was tough to cut.



Wow, they didn’t miss with the chili but I didn’t want to see good food go to waste.



As you can see, falling off the bone. Polished it off with my seatmates. Only the bone remained.



Missed getting a photo of the dumplings, but they were good as well.

Some people had left by the time dessert came so had to have two of these.
