Korean BBQ

Yummy! These Beef Ribs.

The entrance

Beef bone soup

It was really a nice visit to try something different.

Pork Confit gone wrong!

This supposed to be a delight with delicate fat to melt on the tongue. Instead, this spanish restaurant was all failure through and through. Look at that thickness of uncooked fat!!! What a rip off. This was at Warrambool.

Bridge St Melbourne Breakfast

Torch is reknown for coffee. It has a good reputation. The visit to the place was quite an unusual expereince on its own. The coffee smell filled the air. It was just heavenly.

The menu looks great with a large selection of dishes to pick from

My omlette was with basil pesto. Very aromatic.

The place was rather made a country style with a touch of homeliness.

Fusion dish, Kobe Jones, Dockland

It was once said ...

Fusion cuisine is something when a chef is not well trained in 2 fields, combining half learnt skill from 2 styles of cuisine...

Sad existence.

However, this one did taste great. A bit of Japanese and French.

Japanese Dishes

The last couple of days are characterised by "happy go lucky" sentiment. Strolling the city without a purpose is a bit of fun really.

Joel and I tried out the many gourmet places to indulge ourselves. This dish is described as semi fried tuna abdomen with special sauce. It was very tender to taste melting at the tip of my tongue. Very nice in deed.

Seafood fried udon. It was a substitute for rice to improve satiety. But we really ordered too much...

Asparagus and bacon rolls. Very appetitising in deed. The sauce was too salty in fact. Joel spit out all the fat bits lol.

Good old sashimi to improve the fatty acid intake. There was this "oil" fish that gave us diarrhoea all day afterwards...

A bit of wine to colour the day. What a fulfilling day!

Steamed Shark, Lake Entrance, Victoria, Australia

This image is taken by Voigtlander 40mm f2 SL

This is a dish hard to forget. The reason being so unforgettable is the way it is discovered in a tourist coastal town of Victoria - Lake Entrance.

This place is reknown for its estuary exit of a river called Murray. The place is nothing but wattle trees. Yet most of the shop keepers liked to consider me as a Japanese speaking the twisted Japanese to me "O denki Deska?" Whatever. I even treated your regional health director in your regional hospital and stopped generalising me as a tourist!

This dish is sampled locally from the local fish market. Usually shark cannot be steamed for the very reason that it has contained high urea concentration within the flesh. The taste is not really pleasant if not deep fried like the good old time fish n chips.

But this plate of food was one of the best dishes I had in the region. Cost like 39 dollars but it was well worth it. Again, this type of refreshing bright colour can only derive from Voigtlander lens. So much clarity and rich intense colour.

Well, the restaurant had a chef that was originally working in a French restaurant in France. My question to the chef was why the heck he wanted to move to such a coastal town at all?
