Australian Grub

Yes, I need a special post to show off all the lovely Australian food :) Expensive but delicious!

Mmmmm
 
 
At Bondi Beach

Scrumptious!
 
Chips (French fries) served with a mayo type sauce. If you want ketchup, you need to ask for "tomato sauce". On the burgers they always seemed to put a tomato relish on
 
Lunch at the Opera House Tasting plate - two small chicken sandwiches and burgers with chips, shrimp/salmon salad, BBQ chips, and what appeared to be potstickers, scallops and mussels

Can't forget the vino too!
 
We came home with uh, a few bottles of Australian liquor ;)

Seafood tasting plate - scallop on seashell, tuna, baby lobster tail, crab with its legs still on :P, salmon? (I forget) and mussel shots - one mango, the other bloody mary like

Reef fish on top of risotto. Yum!

Afternoon tea- iced mocha and passionfruit cheesecake (much lighter than our counterpart)
 
Anchoive bruschetta (hubby's choice!)

Scallops on seashells and my pina colada (ex of price : my pina colada was $20!)
 
While I'd warn that Australia is a pretty expensive place to go , I'd do it again. The locals are so friendly and warm right up to you ( I couldn't get enough of their cute accent and the men addressing me as "love"!)  Plus there's just things there that you can't do anywhere else (like feeding kangaroos, holding a koala and swimming in the Great Barrier Reef!) An adventure indeed!
