Osia


A way much better experience than Joel Robuchon!
Not sure if they knew we had previously "complained" about service over at Joel but service at Osia was excellent - attentive, friendly, detailed oriented. (Then again, they treated every table the same as far as we could tell so another plus!)





Garlic  and pesto (?) bread served with butter, olive oil and home made garlic feta. That garlic feta was amazing, strong and creamy and delicious on the warm flat bread. I had to be careful not to gouge myself less I get too full for the next courses (mission failed btw)


The delicious garlic feta, the chef makes theses spreads and there are a few different flavours, depending on his mood. He should sell these man



Foie Gras (love the plating), pardon the picture, lighting was horrid.
Nicely cooked and paired perfectly with beetroot.


Tenderloin - a very generous chunk on top creamed sunchoke with some tomato rice puffs and a red wine sauce. That creamed sunchoke was delicious, light yet performing that 'starch' role perfectly well. And I love the rich wine sauce, I usually prefer to eat my meat "naked" but in this case, the sauce really brought out the flavour much more intensely


Innards


Chocolate soup (or undercooked chocolate cake?) with black pepper ice cream. That ice cream was interesting but not a fan of the peppery aftertaste. Chocolate soup was thick, rich and gratifying, I could not muster more than 3 bites but of course this was right up the boy's alley who finished off both. 

I had a really good meal here. Finally a celebrity chef restaurant  worth visiting.

The Moomba



An Australia restaurant tucked within the busy busy streets of boat quay.
The Moomba offers a super value-for-money set lunch at $38++ for 2 course or $42++ for 3. 
As most of the mains in the menu are in the $30++ range, its super worth it to go for the set.

We went for the 2 course and shared appetizers/desert 


Pork belly and watercress salad

Fish for my main course

Lemon tart for desert

Everything was fresh, well seasoned and delicious
Great lunch. Oh and we ordered an additional loaf of bread (bacon and cheese) and it was melt-in-your mouth good. Never knew bread could melt in my mouth but theres always a first time for everything :)

Cant wait to go back

The Plains



The Plains at Duxton is a cozy little Australian cafe, one of those places you just want to chill with a coffee in one hand and a magazine in the other. Which was precisely what we did one weekend.

dean's breakfast: poached eggs + cheese and vegemite
I love this because I have great memories of eating marmite with porridge/toast as a child

darling's eggs : ham, cheese, tomatoes and eggs on sour dough
Safe choice for those who arent a fan of vegemite

cute decor with lots of magazines 

I really like the decor from the stark walls to hanging lamps and flowers. Very industrial chic meets minimalist.
Oh the coffee was great too
