Cotton Duck ... one more time (Sydney)

We visited Cotton Duck for the last time, a week before its closing. The service was still polite and attentive. We enjoyed the corn polenta entrée and shared the boer goat. My favourite of the night was the freshly made plum pie – a great way to end a cold and rainy night.

Sad to hear that it is closing down, thanks for the memories.

Thanon Khao San Thai Restaurant (Sydney)

We walked past Thanon Khao San around the back packer hostels area near Central Station in Sydney. The décor resembles that of a street food market in Asia, and we were ready for some authentic Thai cuisine.

The duck curry is served inside a coconut, with the skin slightly charred creating the extra flavour – certainly better than most other duck curries we have tasted. The sauce was mopped up with some roti on the side. The bbq chicken wings and pad thai were also excellent.

Foveaux Restaurant and Bar (Sydney)

We visited Foveaux Restaurant in Surry Hills with the $60 (2 entrées and 2 main courses) discounted voucher (can’t resist a bargain). We arrived early to have a drink at The Red Door bar downstairs.

The entrée with smoked duck and confit spring roll gave us 2 interesting texture and was our favourite dish of the night. The brisket main course was slightly dry but the sirloin on the side was perfectly cooked and well complimented by the subtle wasabi cream.

A good experience with discounted voucher pretty much guarantee us coming back for the tasting menu later this year.
