Alessandro, managing director of King Island Meatworks & Cellars. [ http://www.kingislandmeats.com.au/ ] They have a mind-blogging array of meats there. Plus plenty of wine and good coffee to go with it! Outside the shop, there's a grill going on, giving off free delicious smells and cuts of sausages for the sampling. The place is also awash with red meat "propaganda" - extolling the benefits of eating red meat. You can see a couple of signs behind us in the pic, and there are more all over the place. I found that rather endearing. Good times! Me: Have you been to Malaysia? Alex: Once, on the way back from Roma. I think he's Italian ;).
At last - our Melbourne pics are up!
See here for what we did and suggest what we can do better next time ;). http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=114675
Back from Melbourne, satisfying curry craving with @SpicyCorner's banana leaf mutton.
We got back from Melbourne today. I told @SpicyGuy I would, when I got back to KL. We ordered two banana leaf sets - vegetarian and mutton. When the girl from We Deliver brought the food, I thought she'd brought along a promotional poster or something. It was two sections of banana leaf rolled up in brown paper! That was a nice surprise. Also, the banana leaf sets were packed in biodegradable paper-based containers. Very admirable. The eating itself was a refreshing experience. And that's not just because I spent almost two weeks away. It was genuinely tasty Indian food - in the comfort and convenience of home delivery! It could have been hotter, but I'm not complaining, since we were sharing it with two-year old Seth ;). I would definitely recommend Spicy Corner to any spice lover. (Especially if you're feeling lazy to go out.) Now I'm going back to unpacking, preparing for work tomorrow, and later finishing up the egg thosai and Portugeuse chicken. Still sleepy. More updates to come! New York Strip
Final fancy dinner by David. We fly back tomorrow night. (Technically, Tuesday am.) Not pictured is most awesome lemon meringue pie by David who supposedly does not eat sweets. I reckon that may be changing in days ahead ;).
We visited the Holocaust museum
We visited the Holocaust museum today and met an aged survivor who
spoke with a voice like an angel of God, of introspection, reconciliation and hope. Wake up, Neo
There is a bird outside my window, whose call sounds electronic. Like R2-D2 or some other 70s-style humanoid robot. It's unnerving. It makes me feel as if the bird was improperly rendered by the Matrix. Or it's a coded message from someone telling me to wake up from this artificial reality.
