What I ate today - the food thread

[Flyfrequently]

Cliveden Bar - Pullman East Melbourne


Steak Frites - as good as always.
Had a chat with Julia, she was quiet in the restaurant but the bar was busy.
We were allowed to sit at a table in the restaurant adjacent to the bar.

Yesterday’s Stavros lunch. It was cheap set lunch with mussels as one of the mains choice. The set menu was just $3 more than the mussels. So I had the Kalamata olives as an extra start along with sharing the lamb ribs.






I had the small portion of Waygu.




Tender and tasty.

Dumping time at Dumpling Social, CBR.

Vego dumplings with a side of fresh chilli. The menu says these are “lightly spiced vegetarian dimplings”. But they were not lightly spiced, not even mildly - so I had to ask for a side of fresh chilli.

The dumplings by themselves were nice. The fresh chilli only elevated the dish.

Back to the club today. It was really jumping for Black Friday. Mrsdrron had the salmon and veggies. A huge pile of them.


She did like the salmon and potatoes.
I had the beer battered snapper. Thin batter and moist fish.

Today we had a belated 55th Wedding Anniversary with our 2 bridesmaids and best friends at Piggyback at Palmwoods A Tony Kelly restaurant but rustic and no bookings Fortunately arrived when a bit of a lull at 1300. Soon after a very long queue.


Normally we would all share the dishes but today I had the Khao Soi to myself as it is one of my favourites. Authentic, tasty and spicy but not one of best I have had.


I also had one of the eggplant chips which are fantastic.


Some pictures of the leftovers.
Greens in oyster sauce.



Prawn gyoza.
