Kakadu

A wine dinner with friends, what's a better way to spend the evening I ask you?!  The Australian wine club (hmmm or was it the Australian club I wonder) had a lovely little dinner at Kakadu Restaurant with 3 wines, 3 courses and a yummy dessert.

Robyn and Rob on the left and Fiona and Matt on the right! And it seems I may be their token American friend.  OK, just kidding they have one other American friend! Both ladies are great and I enjoy their company immensely.  Echo Hill was the winery of the night.  We began with a Chardonnay and a pea soup with a large roasted scallop in the center.

The scallop was nice but the soup a bit bland for me.  I added what I thought was a nice swoosh of salt but it ended up being pepper, which was a good thing, as had that amount of salt fallen into my soup it would have been overdone! 

Next up a Shiraz and duck burritos - alright it was really called Roast Duck Crepes, far more elegant then my description.  Fortunately no matter what you call them, they were delicious.  But as a Hungarian is there any duck or pork dish that I don't like? 

 Here are my three wines and a water......as it was a Wednesday night I really had to take it easy on the wine part of the wine dinner.

 Third Course, another type of Shiraz with Lamb shanks and a cheesy polenta on the bottom, fantastic!

 Very clever dessert, a chocolate lava cake baked inside a coffee cup.

A wonderful evening!
