What I ate today - the food thread

Isn’t Thursday “Act like a Scotsman Day” ?

Fried Mars bars anyone??

Chicken Chef, Blair Athol, ADL. I was told that this the best chips in Australia. And that these folks invented the chicken salt. Bought a small serve and I couldn’t finish the whole thing. Halfway thru, I got so full I had to takeaway the rest. One of the best chips I have had so far and the salt kept me going back into the bag for another chip.

Don’t have better pic - but it’s was a very generous portion for a small serve.

My boss now tells me that I’m now part of the group that’s had the best chips in Australia and I agree!

I will give them a try one day, but the best chips in the known universe are from the Mungerannie Roadhouse on the Birdsville Track

Dinner at The Meat and Wine Co, ADL CBD.

Entree: Bruschetta. Really loved this dish. The avocado base really lifted the dish.



Mains: Grilled Zucchini with lentils, cannellini beans, onion, feta yogurt, mushrooms etc. a good dish IMHO. The zucchini was cooked really well and had a nice herby taste. Personally, the dish could have a bit more kick? So halfway thru the dish, I asked for a side of fresh chilli to finish the dish. In hindsight, I should’ve asked for the chilli after the first bite. The conversation around the table was quite indulgent for me to realise to ask for chilli. Lucky that I got the chilli halfway thru though.



Dessert: Chocolate and Hazelnut Fondant with hazelnut praline gelato. The dessert was lovely. Will definitely order again. The cold gelato complement the warm fondant. The gelato was not overly sweet and went well with other components of the dish. A must try, IMHO.

Tonight the IC Singapore lounge menu for the evening changed. And for the better.

Pictures of the buffet first. The pink stuff in this picture is duck Collette’s which was delicious.








Sardine puffs were nice with a little spice .


You served the soup yourself. Very tasty.




Fried rice.

Forgot a picture of the chicken stew but a little bland.

Yes! and it tasted really good too. I'm glad I ordered it. I was leaning towards the Creme Brulee - but I have had CB before so wanted to try something different and Hazelnut is one of my favorites

that is a dish with a side of red chilli. I hope you finished ALL the chilli....

Ha ha yes, I finished ALL the chilli.
