I’ve had the Barramundi BTC out of SYD in J a couple of years back.

Back then it was served with jasmine rice, I see as of now it’s been changed to fried rice which I would’ve preferred. But the actual fish itself, that was good, and the Chinese black bean sauce compliments it nicely as well - I would recommend this dish, but Beef Cheek sounds good too.

Facing the same dilemma - barra with black bean (in which case, I'd stick on the champagne), or beef check (in which case, the Bordeaux would get a run - it's the 08 Pichon Longueville, which IIRC is also served in TPR?)

CE's photo a few pages ago show the '05 in the TPR vs the '08 onboard - the TPR also has The Bogan but a '15 vs the younger vintage onboard
