Default Another thing to make you leave...

Shit food....

Just been out for a meal - it came to £78 for 2.

It was horrible and we have just been laughing about the whole evening.

Well...I had pate - you know the kind of thing it was all dressed up in a fancy name with 'chutney' - looked like watered down ketchup to me and was served with 3 triangles of 'mothers pride'!

The main course was ok - but just not for that price and the veg was raw!

Then the pud arrived - choccy cheescake - my fave, but it was stale and oddley served with a scoop of chocolate icecream that tasted of strawberry icecream.

When I poured the coffee all the coffee grinds came out and the teaspoon had a big piece missing like someone had bitten it!..and was served with toffees!

To cap it all imagine a barn floor to ceiling (no exageration) in William Morris (v flowery wallpaper) and you are with me.

When you go to the trouble of getting a babysitter it's such a let down isn't it?

Well we got a good laugh out of it anyway!

In August last year, we had a Christmas dinner for 4, (Yes Christmas in Winter is July/August here !! ).

It cost us $115. Included starter, deserts, coffees and a bottle of wine, Silver Service type restaurant. 1 minute walk for the water, in Cleveland on the Brisbane bayside.

But if its fish and chips you want, $10 for 3 people will do the trick.

LOL
I can't drink very well JD and Ed was driving but the glass of chablis was the best thing about it.

The thing is I can be the nicest aimiable person you could wish to meet but if I get P....d off i can be a stroppy cow. All our friends always say that I am the one to complain (mind you they don't say that I am also the one who always says thankyou if service is good). So I thought I won't be sterotype me tonight and see if Ed complains..anything for a quiet life..nope he did not

In Bondi each that 78 would get you a top class meal including wine. Food is not something that I miss from the UK.
