Friday, February 5

You know when you look at a menu ...

... and you can't decide? When you want 3, 4 or 5 of the main course or entree choices (I always go savoury over sweet)? And you wish to yourself, "I wish this was a degustation, then I could have a taste of EVERYTHING"?
Well, if you live in Sydney, your wish is granted. 11 Kitchen, 11 Lime Street (King St Wharf, tourist tat city I know! But still...) is a permanent degustation menu. Mr Brown & I ended up there, on spec, on Wednesday night.
They list series of dishes, lightest to richest, and you select what you fancy, 3, 4, 5 or more choices, and there you go. Small, manageable, servings of what you fancy. Enough to satisfy your wish to taste, enough to let you try another dish or two (or three). Beautifully presented in a nice venue with an EXCELLENT wine selection (glass, 1/2 bottle-sized carafe or bottle) which led to a total dry-February fail on our part. But what the hey, you only live once.
The only irritant, the wankers at the table next to ours, loud talking, know all, accountants or some such. brrrrrr.
Still, you can't blame the place for that.
Mr Brown and I will be revisiting, and soon.
