Last night I had one of my favourite dining experiences...it actually felt like being on the set of My Kitchen Rules...so where was I...Sayers in Leederville. Thursday nights in summer they open for dinner - 5 courses....plates to share, for $55 per head including BYO...and the food...a taste sensation.
To start...out came yummy bread with olive oil and balsamic for dipping and a bowl of olives - not one of the five plates...now you don't get to choose, but they do ask you to let them know if you have any allergies, dislikes etc...so no pork for me.
First up was beef carpaccio...delicious, followed by squid and fish tempura....divine, gnocchi....gorgeous (almost as good as my mums), hazelnut, fetta and herb quiche ....yummy but the look of the pork rolls coming past almost made me want to try to eat pork....and then ta da....a lemon slice with icecream and a little chocolate flower....pretty to look at and a perfect end to a delightful meal.
I have only had great food and great coffee at Sayers! Whether it be breakfast, lunch ... and now dinner. Sayers you should be congratulated!

Skyshow Australia Day
Happy Australia Day (well for yesterday). I have to say that I just love the Skyshow - something about being part of a big event that makes me go a little mushy...I have to admit that I get a little choked up when we all wave at each other from all vantage points - and expect that I have done so every year (except for the 3 that I have missed - can't believe that this time last year I was in New Zealand, having walked the Milford Track!)
Watched the fireworks from the City side - riverside, in line with the Crowne Plaza. The playlist was quite different this year - gone was 'Celebration' and Yothu Yindi...and in was a range of songs chosen to fit the theme of family, some great music. But what was most impressive was the different fireworks, lots of different colours and effects...lots of red and almost rainbow fluro colours....just gorgeous, in fact at times spectacular - to the point where many in the surrounding crowd (including me) clapped and cheered at a few points other than the big....and it was very big...finale at the end.
It was great to be out on a beautiful Perth evening...surrounded by happy families - made up of different age groups, blends and cultural backgrounds enjoying our beautiful city and the celebration of our wonderful country! Can't wait for next year...thinking I will give Kings Park a go, or possibly South Perth again. Any other suggestions?
