Ok some personal favourites in Melbourne.

 

First up is Golden Fields, the cuisine is "a personal interpretation of chef Andrew McConnell's favourite Asian eating experiences".

So I think it's a modern twist on Asian classics. This is one of my top 3 favourite restaurants in Melbourne, along with Mamasitas and Bistro Vue.

 

Duckfish, salmon roe, scud chilli, ginger & lime

 

New England lobster roll, hot buttered bun, cold poached crayfish, watercress & Kewpie

 

Rustic pork dumplings, Shanghai chilli vinegar

 

Shredded chicken, sesame paste, house-made cold rice noodles, chilli oil

 

Twice cooked duck, steamed bread, vinegar & plum sauces

 

Slow roasted lamb shoulder, cumin, salted lemon

 

Peanut butter parfait, salted caramel & soft chocolate

 

House-made raspberry sorbet

 

 

[Raw Selvedge]

Bistro Vue, as mentioned above, another of my 3 favourites, great food and amazing desserts, including possibly my favourite steak dish and dessert.

(Mamasitas is always really dark so I don't have any pics from them.)

 

French onion soup with beer, topped with gruyère

 

Moreton Bay bugs, herb emulsion 

 

David Blackmore Full Blood Waygu bolar blade cooked sous-vide, truffle risotto, corn

Even though it's a secondary cut, cooking it sous-vide makes it so tender it's probably my favourite steak dish, although I must mention I've never been to Japan 

 

Slow cooked lamb shank

 

Giovanni Fabbri truffle pasta

 

Giovanni Fabbri seafood pasta

 

Tarte Tatin, my favourite dessert, which really surprised me as I'm usually more of a fan of chocolaty, cheesecake or creamy cake type desserts. But this was just so good, delicious crispy caramelised base, the combination of apricot, vanilla and custard was just perfect. A must try for anyone in Melbourne.

 

Soufflé au chocolat 

 

Bistro Vue 'Snickers' bar 

[Raw Selvedge]

Another place worth mentioning is The Atlantic in Crown Casino for their desserts.

The dessert menu changes a bit but there's always some amazing desserts.

 

Marco Pierre White’s Valrhona Chocolate Tart with Prune and Armagnac Ice Cream

This is my second favourite dessert, my biggest regret is ordering this to share lol, I/we always order different desserts for the the table to share so everyone can try different desserts. After having this I told myself I need to come back and order this for myself, but unfortunately they took it off the menu shortly after

 

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich.

Raspberry jelly, valrhona chocolate, salty peanut fudge, croissant ice cream

 

Raspberry Tart

 

 

[Layne]

One of the big sushi chefs in Houston created this hotdog that they're selling around town all month.  It's a disaster trying to eat this thing in public but it's so freaking good.  My picture is shit sorry.

 

Panko crusted deep fried hebrew national topped with scrambled eggs, japanese curry sauce, pickled cucumbers and red onions, and yuzu mayo.

 

[Layne]

Texas Wagyu strip, roasted brussel sprouts w/ fish sauce vinaigrette, Argentinian Malbec

 

[DaBestSpoona]

Hot dog sounds like yoshoku in a bun cept for the yuzu mayo part.
