The iconic Sydney Opera House bathed in sunlight.
On our first night in town, we met friends Jenny and Bill for dinner. They put up with our vaguely jet lagged ways and we had drinks outside at Circular Quay, watching the ferries go by and the sun shining on the Opera House.
Chive dumplings at Sailors Thai.
Wagyu beef.
Dinner was around the corner at Sailors Thai Restaurant at the Rocks, a place that our friends knew and loved. We ate at a long metal communal dining table with about 30 other diners. To start, we shared the garlic chive dumplings. Mains included the Barrramundi fish special fried with chili and lime, grilled wagyu beef with tamarind and chili sauce, spicy minced duck salad with chili and lime juice dressing and crispy pork belly with Air’s sweet and sour sauce.
Oh my, it was all mouthwateringly good. None of us could decide which dish was our favorite. Just writing about it now is leaving me longing for that food again. I’ve said it before and I will say it again: Australia does Asian food better than Asia.
Good food with good friends. This was my kind of way to start a trip!
Duck salad.
The pork.
