Enroute to our short break on the Granite Belt I had a hankering for BBQ Ribs.

In Warwick, the Bluebird Cafe and Smokehouse sounded like it would get the job done, but sadly no.

Ribs only in the evening.

It was a clear warning sign.

But we decided to eat there anyway.

I went for the pork, around half of which was fat and skin. Presumably from the whole hog cooked the previous night.



Mrs H had the brisket taco.

It was tiny. A grand total of two bites.


While Miss H opted for the brisket loaded fries.


The puddle of oil at the bottom was enough to cook another 20kg of fries.

Club Intercontinental, Bangkok tonight. Had been introduced to the Executive Chef working in the club now. So tonight he asked if I liked Indian food. I told him about the extra spicy lamb Rogan Josh I had on the cruise.
So he asked if I really did like very spicy dishes and I said of course. So would you like to try my spicy butter chicken. Indeed I would.




It really was very good and spicy.

Lunch at the Queensland College of Wine Tourism in Stanthorpe was excellent.

They were happy for our party to share the “Medley of Mains” as an entree.





The pork belly was really good and the flavours across all three dishes were really well matched.

Zucchini (nearest to camera) and pork belly:


Only complaint was that the lamb portion was tiny. It’s hiding under the greenery.



The wine pairing for the lamb has recently been switched to Shiraz.



Mains:


We had the beef cheek…



And duck…



Mrs H and Miss H then demolished the sticky date that came with the lunch special.

My dessert was the sparking Shiraz.

Highly recommended if you’re in Stanthorpe.

Yes it’s a great venue! Students do very well.
They also do a great sparkling shiraz.

Agreed. It was excellent.

I’ll whack on my flame suit and repeat what I said to Mrs H when I tried it: “This is better than show sparkling”
