Restaurant

As a proud wife I encourage Hungry Hubby to take me out for dinner as much as possible for two reasons: firstly I don't have to clean up afterwards (okay I confess it wasn't like I was going to do it anyway but at least there's no guilt then for failing to clean up) and secondly to experience something new, different and (hopefully) spectacularly tasty.

Follow this page for monthly updates on where we went for dinner...

30 June 2012
 
Let start with our Wedding Dinner at  The Mount Nelson Hotel where we enjoyed a duck trio starter:

{Roasted Duck with Duck Pate and cranberry jelly, freshly baked bread}

{Mains were Fillet Steak with crushed potatoes and Trio of Lamb that included the most amazing slow roasted lamb pastry}

{Dessert was a stunning Red Velvet Wedding Cake and  crème brûlée.}

The food were amazing and no, I'm not biased. We try to stay there for either our anniversary or at least eat dinner there for valentine's day ever year for the last 4 years.
