Sails on Lavender Bay (Sydney)

We went to Sails on Lavendar Bay for dinner on our anniversary and it was a perfect night to dine by the harbor with clear sky and the full moon.

We really enjoyed the degustation menu. The scallops, duck and lamb dishes were flawless. Pace was the only issue as it seems our dinner was slowed down so the table of four next to us could catch up.

Tanpopo (Neutral Bay Sydney)

As a ramen enthusiast, I am always interested in new local offerings. We discovered Tanpopo at Neutral Bay, under new management (for the third time in five years?), now offers an intriguing scampi ramen.

Tanpopo’s soup base was adequately thick without being overly salty. The texture of noodle was silky but a little undone for my taste (perfect for others though). The flavor of the scampi and volcano sauce really brought the dish to another level. The other ramen dishes were on par with others in the area.

We will return for the $20 dinner box another time.
