Dinner @ The Wharf.

Hello~~!! I know it's been awhile since I last blogged. So so sorry!!

Anyway, my Uncle Roger from Singapore came to Australia again, so he brought us out for dinner. This time we ate at "The Wharf", which has been rated 1 hat out of 3 hats.

The Wharf has a beautiful view facing the Harbour Bridge and it is especially beautiful at night because of the many lights. The glass panels that confine the restaurant gave us a great view of the water coming into the harbour and many brightly-lit ships sailing in the night. Here are some photos of the dinner @ The Wharf:

The restaurant has a simple decoration with a warm and homely atmosphere, created by the dim lighting.

The only photo we managed to get the waiter to take for us. We don't want to be troublesome now do we? Behind us are the glass panels that allow us to enjoy the view.

This is way the menu would look if you place a candle behind it. Haha, I didn't want to use the flash on the menu, so I just used natural candle light. Gives it such a romantic feel, right?

This is a part of the beautiful view we face from our table and that is the brightly-lit ship lighted with nice hues of pink and yellow.

We ordered À la carte and shared the dishes among the 3 of us, except the main courses.

The first appetizer we ordered is:

Jamon Iberico with shaved calamari, fennel, witlof & sherry vinegar. (Jamon, pronounced hah-moan, is just Spanish ham)

Next appetizer/main course:

Risotto with field mushrooms, bacon & peas.

I really liked this risotto. It was yummy and filling. Haha I must be biased because I love any type of rice.

Shirley & Uncle Roger's main course:

Herb crumbed market fish, garlic buttered chard and mustard dressing.

They both ordered this so I got a small piece from both of them. The fish is quite fresh and springy, but after eating awhile you might get bored of the taste. Wait til you see my main dish.

Mine was the yummi-est!

TADDAA~~!! This is what I ordered:

Braised duck leg with rice noodle rotollo and water spinach.

It was SUPER nice!!! Very Chinese kinda dish actually. They actually used fried-crispy "keow teow" together with the duck and spinach. So nice.. Kinda made me a little homesick though.. Haiz.. I can't wait til December!! I miss my car..

So because I felt homesick, we ordered 3 types of DESSERT!! Kidding, sad or not, we wanted to have dessert anyway.. Here goes~

This is so cute right?! I saw the table beside us ordering, so I followed and ordered as well. It's called "Strawberry and vanilla ice-cream slice".

The middle circles are made up of lemon, lime, orange & rapsberry sorbet. I really liked this one, because it looked so colorful~ Made me happy..

For the last 2 desserts, we had the "Peppermint and chocolate souffle" & the "Chocolate and walnut bavarois with cognac anglaise".

The souffle was interesting because of the peppermint, but the chocolate bavarois won because of the cognac in the middle. Alcohol fans agreeing with me, thank you!

Haha all in all, it was a fun night full of fellowship & good food. All is well in Sandra's world.

Until next time, SEE YA~~!!
