We’ve been silent a while haven’t we.  Here’s a few tasty (and gen­er­ally health­i­er) morsels and a tipple I’ve tripped over through New Years:

  • Plum bircher muesliPlum café’s birch­er muesli – oats, almond milk, greek yoghurt, fresh mango and toasted coconut. Pleas­ing dens­ity and fla­vour.
  • Ombra’s mush­room parmes­an and rock­et ciabatta break­fast (8am-12noon).  Such a bet­ter time of day to enjoy Ombra and if you really want to push the boat out, their crois­sants come with altern­at­ive dulce de leche fillings, mmmmmm.
  • HBIB’s orange infused ginger beer on tap at the Hop Garden.  Hugely refresh­ing, as well as tasty.
  • The jalapeno shoes­tring fries at Grill Meats Beer (yeah, yeah, not healthy, but if you gotta eat shoes­tring fries, this is the way to do it).
  • Hop Garden ginger beerThe car­rot cake dessert at Shed 5.  Ordered by a guest in my group and I totally for­got to take a pho­to­graph.  But ima­gine a small ter­ra­cotta pot on its side, three thin slices of car­rot cake emer­ging with a baby car­rot rid­ing atop and accom­pan­ied by mint gelato. Quite stun­ning really.  And it counts as healthy because, well, its car­rot.  That’s my story and I’m stick­ing to it.

So here’s to anoth­er splen­did year of tasty exper­i­ences…
