Nam Dining Room @ Bondi Beach

Decision was made on having Thai/ Vietnamse food since we were quite hungry after shopping at Bondi Westfields and obvious my friend being vietnamese. We ordered the only dish which had any resemblance to vietnamse food Calamari with special vietnamse sauce. As you can see from the photo it looked like more just fish sauce mixed with soya sauce. Luckily the best was coming up Jungle Curry with chicken ( without coconut cream) and sauteed prawns with green mango salad. With the right mix of spicness and sourness the Jungle curry was best curry I tasted for ages. The prawns with the mango salad was nice combination , this the first I have eaten green mango. The restaurant has a slick modern feel to it with wooden tables and red lantern like lights. The only downside was we waited so long for our dishes where there was only about 6 tables occupy.






$12 Calamari with special vietnamse sauce ( not great value)




$16 Jungle Curry with chicken ( should had it with lamb)


$17 Sauteed Prawns with Green Mango Salad

Kenta @ Neutral Bay

Planned to go to Kintaro but it was closed for renovations till the 28th so we headed across the street to the Japanese BBQ Koh- Ya Yakiniku but that was all booked out as well. Finally ended up at Kenta but that was busy too , lucky there was a spare table just as we entered. I ordered the Fish Tonkatsu while my friend ordered the Beef Steak. Both came with miso soup and rice. Apart from the beef being a little too salty it was pretty good.

Buffet @ Cafe Mix

Wasn't expecting to go to buffet. The night started off on a good note by somehow finding probably the only three parking spots in the Rocks that needed no ticket! Our seat was about 2 metres from the Lobster , oyster and the prawns. Lobsters were a nic szie but had a bland close to tasteless taste. The best dessert was the gelato ice-cream with hazelnut being the best.

Bella Gelati @ Neutral Bay

A variety of fruity gelato flavours. The combination of Rockmelon and Vanilla Blueberry Mascarpone complemented each other very well.
