Aly had been showing me the website asking if I was interested in trying out the food at this place for weeks!

Finally caved in and even managed to drag Fai and Kelly along as well

Hmm… what’s Aly looking at….

Pics of the food all over the walls of the place… Is Aly staring at these pics?

I like the art on the left side of the pic … nice silhouettes

Stupid cat…dragged us all the way here just to watch local drama…. grrrrr…..

Appeitzer platter ($16.90) … mushrooms….

Calamari ….

Chicken wings… which tasted like shrimp paste chicken

Dipping sauces for the platter….

Mushroom soup!!!

Escargot ($9.90)…. this was really interesting… or should I say strange?
Escargot with erm… spinach… chinese style???

Beef Bacon Pizza ($12.90)

Fai ordered this to share …. thin and crispy….

Aly’s half slab honey glazed pork ribs ($22.90)

This was part of a set … that came with a drink, soup and dessert

Here’s Fai begging for food… so sad….

Kelly’s Tiger Prawn Pasta ($16.90)
She said it was pretty okay… hmm…

Here’s my order of Braised Lamb Shank ($24.90) … I ordered the set as well.

Lamb was really tender… the meat just drops off the bone… yummy! Huge portion too lol

Here’s my dessert… thought it was suppose to be mudpie… looks and tastes more like ice cream cake

Crème Brûlée … the bait that we used to lure Kelly to come along

Happy now?

Total bill was a whopping $110.47

Food was pretty okay… other than the really strange escargots

However… it’s just too far (and parking sucks) … therefore… erm… perhaps only once in a blue moon for me I guess

Anything to add mew?
