Now that's what I call a steak. Well done to @duncan99 for getting through half of this the other night.

Fauna in the pool, including an unidentified bug.

Let me know if you know what the bug is.

My Last Day at BGI

My last day involved no work, but a number of beers at The Australian Hotel to wash down chorizo pizza. Thanks to everyone who popped by to farewell me and Michael. I've also squeezed in a pic of the view I had for the last two days.

Bentley lunch in all its deconstructed glory

Lunch yesterday was at the Bentley Restaurant and Bar in Surry Hills. We all had the extravagant Tasting Menu:

  • Smoked Potato Mousse with Mussels and Clams
  • Kingfish Marinated in Squid Ink with Perfumed Fruit and Coconut and a Scallop
  • Black Sesame and Pea Fondant with Snow Peas and Goats Curd
  • Steamed Barramundi and Emulsion with Jamon and Chive
  • Roasted Quail with Silverbeet, Quinoa, Feta and Barberry
  • Roasted Duck Breast with Lentil Puree, Pumpkin and Rhubarb
  • Creamed Stilton with Spice Bread and Cumquat
  • An extra "pre-dessert" of cucumber sorbet with rose puree and currants
  • Hazelnut Custard with White Chocolate and Blueberry

The food was served with wine chosen to match and they were all interesting choices, including a Spanish Albarino, a variety I've never tried before*. For me the pick of the food was the Barramundi (not Mahi Mahi as appears on the menu) and the best wine was the 2005 (not 2004 as printed on the menu) Baumard Coteaux du Layon "Cart d'Or".

It was a long lunch, lasting till about 5pm, at which point we withdrew to the Porterhouse Hotel. Some of us continued back into town, bringing matters to a close around 8.45pm. Not bad for a lunch, but it's not every day you have a farewell lunch. It was an excellent day, with a great bunch of fellow diners.

* I stand corrected: a friend reminded me that I have tried one last year. I have a bad memory.
