Copperfields

Copperfields

On Friday night Kim and I wanted to go somewhere that we hadn't been in a while. We wanted to go for a drive to the local mountain.We live in an amazing area, 30minutes to the beach and 30 minutes the other way to the mountain.  It was a cold wet night, The restaurant was doing Christmas in July so the place had all decorations around.

 It is quite inviting as you walk in and the waiters are friendly. We sat down in the back corner so it was quiet.

I got my beer and Kim had her cider

Kim has realised that she likes wheaty, hoppy beer so she liked my Hefeweizen, I like them because they taste like bubblegum.

I had the Asian Pork Belly, it was pork belly marinated in garlic and ginger. It had a broth with black beans.  It was sweet, sour but a slight chili taste after. It was amazing.

Kim had the twice cooked pork belly, with spicy lentils and crackling. It just melted in your mouth. The crackling was so crunchy and perfect. Maybe that's why it took just under an hr to get our meal?

other than that it was amazing.

After dinner we really wanted desert so we got the Honeycomb and Frangelico Semi Fredo.

I thought what the heck is that, it is a milk chocolate ganache (the stuff in macaroons).

We love desert, and it was really good. its just works so well together. It is one of those restaurants that can can go for a romantic meal.

Even with the wait for the meal it was still a lovely night and we will be back.

 Kind e-gards

A busy saturday & Sushi burger

A busy Saturday & sushi burger

Kim has always wanted a hario range server for her pour overs , so we finally decided to get her one. The cheapest one was in the city. I am quite tight and won't pay for parking. I know a sweet spot but it is a 2km walk but I save $10... I know right..pretty cheap.

It was a beautiful day 21 degrees not too hot and not too cold.

For lunch we decided to go to Sushi Burger as we have not been in months, they stopped doing dinner. It was the perfect opportunity to have it.

So like any Bento box, you get your miso soup

We both got Green Tea Ice Cream Smoothies, it was more like a milkshake but still yum.

I had the Tonkatsu pork with a Chicken and Avocado Sushi Burger

Kim had the Veggie Gyoza with the Kani Croquette

 

It was a filling meal, I still can't help so i got the Green Tea Daifuku

 

Daifuku is a Japanese desert with a chewy outside and ice cream in the middle.
After lunch we went for a walk to let lunch settle so we could get a coffee.
The place we went to was Manchester press, i was under the impression you get Latte Art.
I did get a good coffee, Kim got a good hot chocolate.

Pretty but not spectacular.

But a pretty cool Cafe'

Because we had a lot for lunch we were not that hungry so we got cake for dinner

I got a Choc Banana Marshmallow  cake,

  

Kim got a  Mille-feuille , which is a custard based french desert and we got almond biscuit each.

The glass kim got for her coffee and the right is the Syphon my friend lent me. When i am happy with how i use it i will do a blog. So in the next few weeks.
Saturday has been crazy busy... 10:30pm time to get some sleep.
Have a lovely weekend
Kind regards
