In celebration of our friend and tweetmate Kristine’s arrival in Sydney, Lena, Jay, Chris and I took her to dinner tonight. We took her to one of the restos in Sydney that served delicious ribs–Hurricane’s Grill.
Pre-food…a reunion of sorts!
We only ordered two courses at Hurricane’s as we planned to have dessert somewhere else. For starters, we had the Grilled Calamari (flash grilled with lemon and rice). The calamari tasted fresh and soft. I swear, the guys at Hurricane’s know how to grill.
The main event was of course the Pork Ribs. Two full racks of tasty, grilled Pork Ribs. The meat was so tender it literally fell off the bones. Sidings of chips and rice (for the boys) completed our meal.
Before the attack….
and after.
We were supposed to have dessert at Lindt Cafe but it was closed already (boo hoo!) so we walked some more and found ourselves at The Chocolate Room.
Had a taste of Mortal Sin. Nice name for a cake, huh? Sinfully rich but not too sweet.
The best discovery of the night was that they now serve Gelato!!! Weeeee! Kristine had a scoop of Ferrero Gelato (yes, from the chocolate Ferrero Rocher) and I had a taste of it. It had a nutty taste with an aftertaste of rhum (?). Interesting. Not sure if it was really rhum or maybe it was just very high in cocoa.
I had a scoop of the Tim Tam Gelato (yes, from the chocolate!) It tasted like chocolate mudcake. Not very “Tim Tam-y” for me. But it was good nonetheless.
Kristine brought her Polaroid camera with her and it was a dream come true to have a genuine Polaroid photo of us!
My Polaroid souvenir. I love it!!!! (Thanks Kristine! Lovely to finally meet you!)
