Food and DRINK

I am thirsty by this point. So thirsty I am certain I could die if I don't have something soon. Yes, I'm being dramatic... I was a bit cranky. I let Erik have most of the slushie earlier because his throat hurt. I only had a little bit and we opted to travel light today and thus forgot to bring water with us. Rookies.

We sat down at Hyde Park and looked for a place to eat. We couldn't find one so Erik said let's just do walking and look for something. 😑

I went along with it. We walked. And walked. And walked. The places we saw did not meet our needs. Either too expensive or too much of a bar. Finally we found a chair, sat down and looked for something more specific. Erik found a cafe at the Rocks. 10 minutes away. Okkkkaaayyy. Let's go.

We walk and walk and finally make it. They seat us outside and what sweet relief!!!

The waiter is Hungarian and very nice. I ordered a kangaroo burger and truffle chips. Erik ordered fish and chips. We got a chocolate shake and a coke, but actually spent most of the meal drinking the tap water. If that doesn't tell you how dehydrated we are. We agreed to share our meals with each other 50/50.

The kangaroo burger was not gamey at all. It was really good. It was slightly dry but it was good. It had some beet paste of some sort and tasted delicious. Erik's fish was much smaller than the one we had in Katoomba but it was still really delicious. The truffle fries with garlic aioli was exactly what I needed. The milkshake was too runny. The coke was perfect. We also received plastic straws which is unusual since most straws are paper around here.

The waiter talked to us a bit about Sydney. He said it is very clean and has little crime. He then asked if we wanted dessert. We looked at the menu and they had tiramisu. Man oh man. The waiter recommended this caramel crunch cake that mirrors the tiramisu in many ways. Great recommendation. The caramelized nuts were tasty.

Dinner was expensive, but it is expected in Sydney. I see a lot of grocery shopping the next few days.Read more
