I haven’t been doing anything exciting for the past few weeks except for eating.
2 weeks ago, during the Melbourne food and wine festival, Eve organized a lunch gathering at Enoteca Vino Bar.

DJ and BC were bored while waiting for their meals.

Insalata di baccala e patate con cipolla di Tropea
Sicilian salt cod salad with potato, red onion, EVO oil and lemon

Insalata caprese con bufalina e pesto
Salad of tomoato, buffalo mozzarella and basil pesto.

Maloreddus con gamberi
Small ridged Sardinian gnocchetti with prawns and spicy tomato sauce.

Coniglio all’Ischitan con pomodorini e rosmarino
Slow cook rabbit Ischia style with cherry tomato, white wine and rosemary
Almost everyone was not satisfied with the food, the entree was good but the mains were a bit of a disappointment.
My first reaction towards my pasta was “oh dear, it look like maggots” and for those who had the rabbit, the feed back I got was it tasted like boiled chicken. Well, what do you expect for a $30 lunch package which includes entrée, main, glass of wine and coffee or tea. At least the good company of friends made up the for it.
Although the food was not fantastic but I do like the interior of the restaurant. Very Italiano. I like the in-house deli and vino cellar.
After lunch, we continue our afternoon catch up at the Precinct Hotel, Richmond.

DJ reminiscing his wedding poses with me but too bad I had to hold the camera. I’m sure Damo was enjoying that very moment… hihihi

We all saw something flying in the sky….

A local pub in Richmond that has style and the best part was, the ladies toilet has hair straightener facility. How cool is that!
