Eurolounge

Thankfully, before the stupid movie, hubby and I went to a nice nice restaurant for dinner. Eurolounge is now my fav restaurant in the ulu western subs of Sydney! Suspect the chefs are Malaysians or Singaporeans though (Alex Hau and William Teoh). Don't care, as long as the ambience is posh (preferably candlelit), service immaculate (attentive friendly cute waiters with a sense of humour), menu impressive (using cheem words to describe an otherwise simple dish), food good (hard to describe how good is good, considering what a glutton I am), I'm willing to pay and come back again and again.

For entree, we had the Chef's Tasting Plate for two, which came with oysters au natural, garlic & chilli scallops, prawns w mango coriander salsa, smoked salmon rolled with cream cheese and seeded mustard honey sauce, stuffed mushrooms n asparagus dipped in cheesy sauce in a little cup.

I had the Seared Duck Breast (copied from menu - Duck Breast fillet pan fried served with jus and an orange sauce with a macadamia and chilli cous cous and five spice) as my main while Stu had the Poulet d’ete (Whole roasted baby chicken de-boned and filled with a sweet potato, bread and thyme stuffing served with dutch carrots, snow peas and apple & ginger chutney).

The duck was delicious but a bit too fatty, the macadamia cous cous really yummy. We found out that the chicken actually has a size (5.5), and miraculously deboned yet still looking like a whole chicken. Wish we had room in our tummys for desert, else we wouldn't have left for the movies...

My aim is to find all award winning restaurants in this area and try them all. Ssssslurp.
