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.
1) sterline caviar on prawn toast
2) mussel and saffron broth with garlic cream
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
9) date tart
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.

9) date tarti 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.
