Things got off to a lip-smacking start with an antipasto platter and a couple of sides at Moorilla Estate, downed with some vino before tackling the unwieldy beast that is MONA. It’s not everybody’s idea of a meal, but for those who enjoyed grazing it was top nosh.
The servings were more substantial for dinner, eaten at T42 on the docks. Oysters were a nice starter, and my main meal was superb: crispy skinned salmon steak served with perfect pillows of gnocchi in a creamy sauce. Everything down to the baked and flaked almond on top was perfect.
A poached egg breaky at Zum Salamanca was just what the doctor ordered after a night out on the town. It wasn’t a cheap but it was lovely and life-saving… ohhh fresh OJ!
Our second evening meal went up a slight notch in the fancy stakes at Maldini. It’s Italian, but not the sort you will find at your neighbourhood trattoria. I ordered a lemon zest and chilli seafood risotto. It was one of the nicest rice dishes I’ve had in some time – the flavours were perfectly balanced and the seafood was succulent. See below.
Things could only end one way: happily ever after. We said our foodie farewells with a light meal at Jackman and McRoss bakery – leaving with a loaf of sunflower seed rye tucked under the arm and a head full of Mmmmmemories.
