Andrew was still in LA and John in Germany, but Kim was back, with tales of what
she had been doing in Malaya.
Wine: Kalimna Shiraz 2002 Bin 28
Lovely Portia's never disappoints, but no pollies this time,
oh well.
We started with the duck pancakes, what else.
Portia's speciality, and brilliant as per
usual.
We had double helpings.
I'm afraid we had some of the tried and true dishes which we
know we like, but what the heck.
The
stuffed eggplant was lovely. Sizzling fish with ginger and shallots, mmm, not
so good, a bit bland, we'll have to give that one a miss next time. BUT, having
said that, Ron liked it, said the plainness was a good combination with the
other more spicy dishes. The beef (wasabi steak) was voted the winner for the
night, tender melt in the mouth beef chunks in a rich, sweet sauce.
Not sure how they got it so tender whilst
being a bit rare in the middle, but we lovely it especially with the plain
broccoli. The minced chicken and beans in spicy sauce was, well spicy, really
tasty.
The smokey flavour of the beans
was delish.
Desserts, brilliant, black rice pud and banana spring
rolls.
