Jenny and I are foodie lovers and we've been to three food events this year (only 1 of them, we went to separately). Last month at the Taste of Melbourne, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly with Melbourne's Ultimate Tasting Menu - sharing 7 of the superb dishes between us from a number of great restaurants :)
This is a photo of the two of us with our yummylicious cupcakes that we did not share with anyone (we were at a weekend getaway for a friend's birthday)...

All the dishes we had were cooked to perfection and we absolutely enjoyed every mouthful of it. If I had to rate my top 3 dishes, it would have to be...
- 10 hr braised beef cheeks with beetroot, spinach & field mushrooms - it's not every day that I get to eat beef cheeks (in fact, it was my first time) and this was to die for, it was so soft and it just melted in your mouth...absolutely delicious!
- Olive fried octopus, aioli, steamed eggplant & pickled free rage eggs - I have to admit I have eaten a fair amount of seafood throughout my 24 years but I have never eaten octopus like this. I don't know what Cheong did to the octopus before he fried it in but it oh damn it was good...I think it would have been a tad better with a couple more pieces of octopus and less ruffage coz the octopus was hidden under it.
- Seared scallops, green chilli aioli, almonds and celeriac remoulade - absolutely love scallops and this combination with the green chilli aioli and the almonds and celeriac remoulade was delish! *drools* thinking about it makes me want to have some more...least I know I can find it the Stokehouse! :)
That is all I have for now!
p/s: I know I haven't posted up anything new that I have cooked recently and I apologise for that >_< It's been a hectic month at work and weekends have been flooded with events so in November, hopefully it will be quieter and I will be able to serve up a few dishes :)
