What I ate today - the food thread

[QF WP]

Lunch today was at Marriott Brisbane:





Then on my way back to my office, went into my local deli to buy this chocolate cannoli (I needed the sugar hit to get through the afternoon):

Mmm I don't eat schnitzel anymore unless I'm in Passau or Scharding lol

The Oberhaus restaurant in Passau is high up and you can see the rivers meet from up there very clearly.

Food is decent too

Wednesday was at Rothwells in Edward Street, Brisbane CBD.

Was from the ala carte menu (normally I’m at functions where its share plates here). Forgot to take a photo of the menu:

Entrees (mine and my seat mates) - duck breast for me:

My wife cooked egg and zucchini slice (6 eggs and 1 large zucchini and Tom Thumb tomatoes).. 2 meals for us and my daughter, son is picky and doesn’t like zucchini

Two meals with salad - perfect

Sometimes I never told the Flyfrequently offspring (kids and gkids) exactly what was in something, can hide a lot of veggies by grating them.

They loved "Circle Chips" only found out it was calamari much, much later in life @QF WP.
Of course my daughter, Missy's Mum, keeps telling me I shouldn't do that
Gkids now love avocados since I made chocolate mousse with them.

Today lunch (just finished) was at the Brisbane
Westin.


Entree. But different to have an open tart and a very flaky pastry:



Both mains shown. Really hot fish so I had to wait before eating it, so enjoy some more red wine:

Back at the club at Dicky Beach.
Ribs for Mrsdrron. Too much sugar in the glaze. The meat was fine.

And I had the flathead. Very nice.

Dinner aboard MSC WE

Crispy Sea Bass in sweet chilli & ginger with plantains

Hot Stone Lobster in coconut curry

Grand Marnier Orange Crepe stuffed with ricotta

 

[Cossie]

Getting a bit too "woke" in my old age, left them more than a sizeable tip. Shkoder. Albania.

Food was ok, not exceptional, I think me and her cook very well ourselves, escpecially stuffed vegies.

Salad, mousakka, stuffed capsicum, all vego, red wine was from a large plastic bottle, which was surprisingly good.

Today was Madame Wu, on the Brisbane River (with only partial view at present) in their private room:









Dish of the day was the chicken Ribs. Helped finish the bowl it as so good











Beautiful dessert, would have had a second. Vanilla bean lifted the taste:

Who needs gourmet when your wife can cook like this.

Smoked cod and seafood marinara mix panang curry with sweet chilli. I had some mark down Singapore noodles. One of the tastiest curry meals in a long long time.

Thanks Moon. (Leftovers for tomorrow and this time with Fettucine)

Last one for the week. Back at Donna Chang today . Some attendees had cancelled on the day, so there was excess food:





Oh my, the ribs were good. There was a half finished plate at the other end of the table that was passed to us to devour Dish of the day



Prawn and scallop wontons. Get in ma belly
(Again, more supplied than attendees so I had to ensure I ate my fill)





Succulent fish that had to be finished.





Love the donuts. The server gave me 2. Both finished!

A bit late posting this…but this is calf’s head at Bouillon Chartier in Paris. One of the worst meals I’ve ever head, but an experience not to forget. Aside from the snails, all the meals were sub par, but people still line up to get into this restaurant.

Island Radio, Surry Hills.
All that was left of the corn fritters before I remembered to take a picture.


Chicken and pork satay.


Funky coughtail Tropical Moon.


Beef with noodles.


Crispy lamb ribs. Very good.


Garlic fried rice.


Food was very good but the place was jumping and noisy. I was the oldest person there by a long way.

The unappetising grey colour doesn't endear itself to me.
