I’m in foodie heaven in Sydney Australia. After I wandered around the city checking out the trends, the bakery’s, the markets and the many Macaroon shops, I stopped in at Baroque Pantry for a Black Truffle Cheeseburger which was delicious. Sipping on some good Australian wine I later watched the flurry of activity from my spot at the Opera Bar situated below the Sydney Opera house.
Then, one of my dreams came true! I was fortunate to be taken to Matt Moran’s Chiswick Restaurant and it just so happened he was there! (Thank you Helen and Harry!) As well as meeting him, we dined on incredible food ending with Fresh Mint Tea from the gardens surrounding the restaurant.
With a grin the size of a Cheshire cat! Matt Moran and Anna!
Kingfish Sashimi, Sesame, Yuzu and Coriander – due to my sesame allergy it was served on the side!
Seared scallops, celeriac, fresh Western Australia truffle
Roast pork belly, toasted barley, shallot dressing
Crispy fired quail, lime, shallot, ginger – also known as KFQ! Highly delicious.
Whole roasted rainbow trout, garden herbs, baby leeks.
