Txoko Brewing in the Swan Valley for lunch today. The founders are of Basque origin. Today the occasion was the return of my son's partner from her visit to Taiwan to show off their 7 month old son to her family. The weather was very pleasant at a little over 20 C.
The table and view - with the Darling Ranges in the background. The food was very nice and pretty much what you would expect from a brewery in the Swan Valley.
Basque style striploin.
Pork ribs in BBQ glaze
Grilled Chorizo
Pizzas
Truffle Shuffle - Portobello Mushrooms, bocconcini and truffle oil
Porco Rosso - salami, leg ham and chorizo
Bee knees - salami, guindilla chilli, local honey, bocconcini and basil
Afterwards we drove about 1.5 km down the road and had a quick look at Bells Rapids on the Swan River. Lots of kids were swimming there.

Some unusual things at the Kimpton Bangkok breakfast buffet. first chipotle potatoes instead of hash brown. I thought they were nice,others didn't.
Kale French toast. no way.
Flossed pork. It does taste like pork flavoured fairy floss. Again I actually liked it
And fried boiled eggs in broth. Didn't work for me.

We are not buffet people but today went to the Hokkaido themed buffet and the all day restaurant at the IC Tokyo Bay. Cost ~ $A75. Well worth it with sushi,sashimi rice bowl and tempura made as you ordered them.
Plus excellent roast beef with wasabi “inclusions “,good salads, snow crabs and lots of desserts.

Gap tavern Brisbane.
I see that all of you guys have great tastes in food! I'm having a simpler lifestyle, and today, I ate mashed potatoes with some chicken nuggets that my wife prepared.
To be honest, mashed potatoes are my favorite dish. I always eat it and combine it with some meat and sauces. I always get this Costco mashed potatoes dish. Just look at its photos, for me, it looks so appetizing. I know that it's premade, and maybe it's not the healthiest choice, but this is the tastiest one I've tried. Even my wife doesn't make it so tasty.

Sashimi Japanese breakfast in Sapporo.
Dinner at Pre Aux Clercs in Dijon. We all went with the set menu. I had the Blue Flower Potato, Tuna and Like a Creme Brûlée (see menu photo below). Mrs Scash had the other set menu choice and all were absolutely delicious. A glass of Cremant to start followed by a nice red.
