In my attempt to eat through the recommended restaurants of Sydney, Fiona and I tried one of the top 5 burgers in Sydney, The Rockpool Bar and Grill burger. This is the David Blackmore's Full Blood Wagyu Burger with Bacon, Gruyere Cheese and Zuni Pickle. It's a good burger, but probably will not be one that I go back again for. The price tag of $22 makes it a bit steep.
I have my fair share of good food before this trip, but Cat and I decided to splurge a bit and try Quay restaurant. This has been named #27 on the S. Pellegrino's World top 50 Restaurant list. It is the top one in Australia with 3 other restaurants that made top 100. I have to say that this is a spectacular meal. Taking my boss' advice and ordering the full tasting menu of 7 courses was brilliant advice. Well worth the $210 and a very special occasion meal, given the quality of the food. (Sorry for the dark pictures, there's not much lighting in the restaurant)
First taster of Tuna tartar, cavier and horseradish mayo
Sea Pearls: Sashimi Tuna (top), Aquaculture cavier, sea scallop, smoked eel, octopus, mud crab, abalone (bottom black ball). The best ball is the scallop one
Mud crab Congee (hand shelled mud crab, palm hearts, Chinese inspired split rice porridge)
Crips confit of pig belly, braise of abalone, silken tofu, Japanese mushrooms, chive flowers
Butter poached quail breast, pink turnips and onions, white lentils, morels, truffle, custard, bitter chocolate black pudding, jamon de bellota, milk skin
Slow cooked pure bred Suffolk lamb loin, young vegetables, comte-infused custard, roasted quinoa, sunflower seeds, pine nuts, hazelnuts
Strawberry Guava Snow Egg
Eight textured chocolate cake
My favourite is the pig belly dish, it combines all my fav food, mushrooms, tofu and pork! The chocolate cake is my favourite dessert, it has hazelnuts mixed into it and an awesome way to end the dinner. Needless to say, i worked harder at the workout sessions to burn off the extra calories!
