On Friday night we went to the Taste of Sydney, which is a festival showcasing some of Sydney's best restaurants and producers. For a fraction of the price, we were lucky enough to sample some amazing food. Even luckier we were in close proximity to lots of celebrity chefs, including George Colombaris and Matt Preston, presenters of Masterchef Australia; I did queue up to get my photo taken with them but they left just as it was my turn boo - I don't think it was anything personal.
After the festival we went for a mini pub crawl in Paddington, one of the suburbs near where we live. Bicep competition between Dave and I ensued..who do you think wins?
Yup, I think me too. Anyway, what was meant to be "mini" turned into one too many vodka and cranberries over a short period, and we were home by 12:30!Saturday morning was spent nursing a sore head and when we eventually surfaced, we decided that only lunch out and a film could sort us out. We headed to Spice I Am, a very nice Thai restaurant in Darlinghurst, which is always packed at night. It was spookily quiet at lunch time, despite the fact that the usual $40 main courses were all $25...obviously it's the place to be seen in the evening, rather than saving your money by going at lunch time. I had the most divine king prawn dish, and Dave had a rather fancy duck curry presented in a coconut shell.
A nice afternoon of yummy food was rounded off by seeing Precious at the cinema (accompanied by the essential choc top of course - this time hazelnut flavour ice cream).Saturday evening, Dave and I went our separate ways - he went out with some friends for a couple of "quiet" drinks and I went out with some of the girls for some not so quiet drinks. Another hangover on Sunday. Lesson learnt this weekend: next weekend I'm not drinking a drop. Will it happen? Unlikely.
