taste buds spoiler: The Silver Spoon

Dear readers,

I've been soooo busy working I could barely have time to breathe. Christmas is always the busiest time at work, with Coles opens 7 days a week in December, meaning I am working 7 days a week too :) sad heyyy??

Anyway, I was working yesterday (I dont usually work Saturdays) and all I could think about was FOOD FOOD FOOD. I was too tired so I didnt wanna drive too far, hence Vic Park was our choice of fine dining place for this Saturday. It was just me & Chow-Chow again this week, I couldnt be bothered asking friends out and organizing dinners & stuff. Well, maybe next month after all the craziness at work slows down a bit.

At The Silver Spoon we ended up (if you've watched Star Wars, you'll realize that's how Master Yoda arranges his wordings). ok ok ok, I'm in a hurry here, cos Mr D almost is almost done with his cooking and we're about to have dinner. Let's jump straight to the menu then.

Oooohhh, I need to mention something though. Chow-Chow has been going to the gym frequently lately because next year her big sis is getting married, and she needs to LOSE weight desperately in order to fit into her dress which she hasnt even had yet. So, Chow-Chow's stomach is kinda shrinking a bit here. That makes us jump straight to main instead of trying out the entree. Cos we were sparing some space for dessert as well.

Chow-Chow's main was really fabulous I think. She had the lamb cutlet, slow cooked shoulder, squash, corquette (now I know what a corquette is), baby aubergine, and rosemary juice. While I had the beef two ways which was roast fillet, braised cheek, parsnip, spinach, and baby carrots. The mains were good, but they werent to die for.

The dessert on the other hand, was SUPERB and to die for! Seriously that good. We shared a white chocolate & passionfruit tart with passionfruit cloud and sorbet. Oh My God, I gotta tell you, the passionfruit tart was amazing, and the sorbet was really refreshing and smooth. Another dessert that we tried berry, melon and tapoica salad with creme fraiche. It was quite a unique combination and very fruity, almost sensational. I like how it was served in a glass and it's got different layers with very interesting colour. Overall, dessert was really awesome, heart it :)

Here are some of the photos taken ;)

Warning: bear with the photos, I forgot my camera, so we had to stick with blackberry instead
