Day 1

Post date: Jun 18, 2011 1:22:11 PM

What a mess! We are flying to Japan tomorrow but the first leg of our international trip is from Sydney to Gold Coast via domestic. So the hotel we booked which is 10mins walk to the international airline is actually 20 min via taxi from where we need to be tomorrow morning. But! The friend we were meeting with, from Mission Beach, arrived in Sydney via an international flight. We of course, were waiting at the domestic terminal. 20 mins away by taxi but.... We were walking, cause Ange needs to compete in some crappy steps thing so that made it 1.5 hours round trip. FFS! Anyway... Tetsuyas? If I am going to spend > $300 per person I will go to Veu de Monde. Nuff said. Back to the basics. Tamano Hikari from Kyoto well matched with Tas Ocean Trout. Dry and delicate style, nutty. Lifted perfume of confection and musk. Great aperitif style. Nutty? Aperitif? Nutty cause they served it with the second course. Anyway. Very nice with any of the fish dishes. Anyway... Thus spake Sakethustra. Must be late to come up with a pune like that... Not even a proper pune.
