Okie, let's talk about FOOD matters to ease our heavy-stressed life, regardless working and studying life...hee~ It was 29th July, Sunday, JJ, Clara and I have decided to have a great lunch together as to celebrate my recent graduation! Haa...I get to know about this restaurant from travel websites and official Queensland Tourism website. The ever famous restaurant was the winner of the 'Restaurant and Caterers' inaugural Best Al Fresco Restaurant category for both 2004 and 2006.
Its a restaurant that provide fine dining, so already expect the food will cost a blast...Let's explore what's so special-->
Za'atar spiced lamb rump on gorgonzola polenta with wilted spinach & thyme jus (Medium cooked) - AUD$32.50 (~ RM97.50)
Starting with the 1st dish, the word 'gorgonzola polenta' (yellow triangle crispy block) immediately caught my attention. After having a bite of it, the texture is like fried cream croquette. According to JJ, gorgonzola is a kind of cheese while polenta is made of boiled cornmeal. The lamb is mediumly cooked thus still contains the original and freshness of meat juice...Absolutely thumbs up with it when you have a bite, together with the sauce provided...
Crispy skinned atlantic salmon with saffron kipfler potatoes, coriander & spicy chorizo - AUD$33.50 (~ RM100.50)
The atlantic salmon has been cooked in an interesting way...The chefs have done a great job by frying the skin of the salmon block until crisp...and accompanied with some herbs plus the ever fragrance Chorizo which is pork sausage that used dried, smoked red peppers for colouring purposes!
Pan seared pork loin with 'budgi werri' prunes, celeriac puree & apple & raisin chutney - AUD$34.50 (~ RM103.50)
The 3rd dish seems kinda normal on its outlook yet extrusive when you have tasted the tenderness of the pork. It is just so soft until you can't imagine it is actually pork loin...The use of dried fruits like prunes, apple and raisin for making the Chutney has been an innovative step involved in food preparing...
The Three Epicureans (JJ, Clara and I) - Delightful
WATT has successfully acquired modern ideas and incorporate into their dishes...Stuffs that originally use in other purposes have amalgamated with our daily food products and turn into 'God's creations'! Simply thumbs up for that...I've included into my 'Food Monster' list and will definitely visit again in the future...
Before the main dishes, we have also ordered an Entree: Freshly shucked pacific oysters with 'WATT' patrick & crispy pancetta which is cost AUD$18.50 (~ RM 55.50) and a side dish: Chips with garlic aioli - AUD$6.50 (~ RM 19.50). Therefore, the total bill for the fine lunch was AUD$125.50 (~ RM 376.50) with standard exchange rate in which AUD$1 to RM3. Hee...

In exchange with the elating dining experiences, my wallet, had suffered 'worst drought' ever~ OMG, someone please help me~!! Just after the lunch, I immediately headed back home and baked a cake to satisfy my 'glutton and bloated' stomach...
Strawberry Butter cake...
Yumm, but I think the cake's texture is kinda hard as I've overbaked for another 5 mins...haaa...will definitely make it better next time...
That's all for my big day?! NOT YET....
Baked Cheesy Cupcake - Rich in cheese...woot O.o
'Thanks' to both Clara and JJ, for giving me this sinful rich cheesy cupcake to satisfy my tummy...I guess I need to work out for extra few hours to compensate with all the calories and fats intake....hahaaa
Haa...Its almost time for me to do some revision before going to bed...Till then, have a good one, guys and gals...!
