i had the most expensive meal in my life. 200 aussie dollars! at this restaurant in sydney called rockpool. it is one of the top 50 best resturants in the world. we tried the 9 course tasting menu.
i am not sure if there is going to be another one. if so, i am betting it is going to be a long long time away. here are the pictures. the food was really good.
1) sterline caviar on prawn toast
ortiz 'gran reserva' salted anchovy with tomato confit on toast
yellowfin tuna with ginger, soy and yuzu jelly
2) mussel and saffron broth with garlic cream
3) marron and various tomato flavoured salad" confit, dried and jelly" with gazpacho
4) seared scallop with stir fried southern calamari , smoked bacon and squid ink noodles
5) pan fried bar rockcod with cabbage, clams, serrano ham, tea smoked potato and herb butter sauce
6) seared quail and "60 degree" quail egg with pork and prawn pastry, red curry sauce
7) slow cooked rangers valley 300 day grain fed beef short rib with chinese braised shitake mushrooms and spring onion cake
8) vanilla cream cup with strawberries and rosewater granita
9) date tart
i don't think i am cut out for fine dining. i am just an average girl, who most probably fit best in like average places hahah. i was already dying after 1 and a half hours. the whole meal took 3 hours.i kept fidgeting around, stretching my legs, etc... but i am going to take it as a learning experience.so next time not so country bumpkin.
P.S thanks tianli and ines for bringing me there

it never fails to make me cringe when i see old men put their car key into their ears and start digging. especially when they're speaking to me. in times like that i find myself trying very hard not to make my face into a sour ball when my shoulders tense up and i start hunching. i then also make a mental note never to touch their hands or their car key. or any of their keys. or any of their stuff that can fit into their ear canal.
p.s: congratulations, jen. you will soon be free from bondage.

thats why Singaporeans are one of my least favourite passengers
recently on my flight to madras,
there were a bunch of Singaporean men who came on board.
Me: excuse me may i know whose bag this is?
Singaporean man: oh it is mine
Me : sir is it alright if i shift your bag into another compartment cause this one is too full
Singaporean man: ok no problem
so just as i was about to shift his bag, this senior stewardess came over and told me to ask the man to help me since it was quite heavy and she did not want me to hurt my back
Senior stewardess: Sir is this your bag?
Singaporean man: Yes
Senior Stewardess: Sir can you help us to shift your bag into the other compartment?
Singaporean man:
But the bag is not very heavy whatseriously i was stunned. and then he continued
Singaporean man:
why must it be my bagseriously what the fuck man. haha. i cannot believe it.
P.S eh ah xiao u know jamie's shop is no longer at far east. i wonder where it went?
