Dinner @ Fenix

Paalo does like finding excuses reasons to eat out and tonight was the longest night of the year so obviously we headed to Fenix to celebrate.



Smoked Tuna Broth with Scallops and Radish

We do enjoy this broth and it's a great way to begin the meal. This time fine slivers of scallop and radish have been arranged at the bottom of the bowl.





Forest: Mixed mushrooms, Parsnip, Chlorophyll

Considering I made Chlorophyll a few weeks ago this dish certainly got our attention. Fine tails of roasted parsnip served with a variety of mushrooms and a thick mushroom sauce that's silky smooth and utterly addictive.




Wild Barramundi with Rhubarb, Date and Black Sesame

Another great example of wild barramundi - a really interesting combination of flavours and textures.



Quail with shallots, onion broth

I do love quail and this easily satisfies my love. Served pink, the quail breast is still juicy and wonderfully tender.



Lamb with Jerusalem artichokes




Our favourite dessert - burnt orange cream, macadamia biscuit and candied cumquat. One word is needed - sublime.



Bruleed ginger cake with pumpkin ice cream and coffee nest

The pumpkin ice cream by itself was really interesting, texturally and tastewise, however when eaten with the coffee, the coffee just overwhelmed it.



Violet Candy, Salt and Vinegar Chocolate Sticks, Berry Pops and Coffee Macaroons
