Happy tasty new year…

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 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).

• The 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…
