Let’s play… “where’s Chris and Bev?”

And then let’s play…. “where are Bev’s parents?”

The gorgeous colonial building of Au Jardin

Romantic interiors

Homemade seaweed crisps. WOW these were amazing!

Our lil corner table

Deeelicious breads. Dad ate TWO ROLLS of that butter all by himself *shock*

Amuse bouche of chicken consomme and pork floss. Really did not like this..

Japanese wagyu striploin carpaccio, truffles emulsion, parmesan, mustard cress –
outstanding, so creamy and the truffles were amazing

Maine lobster, orange-vanilla, garden fresh herbs –
the lobster was excellent!!

Fois gras, roasted, crushed candied almonds, nudja chilli –
my fave starter – it was a large chunk and so so luscious

Abalone sous vide, algae brown butter –
this was Dad’s but I didn’t try any, don’t like abalone..

The waiter dishing out mum’s fish at the table

Flounder, Alaskan king crab, mushrooms, leeks, iberian ham, “en papillote” –
wowowowow. Beautiful flavour and the fish was

Saltbush lamb, saddle, roasted, parsley, parsnip, natural jus –
really tender and just delish. But needed a larger portion!

Sucking Pig, confit, compressed pineapple, chorizo rice –
oooo this was amazing. Can’t go wrong with soft pork and crisp crackling!

The Chorizo rice and Butter rice

Japanese wagyu striploin, grilled, sweet corn, pearl onion, Australian winter truffle –
fatty beef and generous portions of truffles

Sweet potato croquette, azuki beans, yuzu ice cream –
dad was a fan of this, it’s got ALL his fave flavours 😛

Cheese selection –
good, but the portions were small and no brie or camembert, my faves!

Les mignardises –
omg too cute, like a little lolly shop!!

Itty bitty lolly goodness!

Our table 🙂
