it's easily my biggest weakness: expensive food. fancy food. over the top, hundreds of dollars worth of food. a meal that will cost about what a normal person would spend on a month's worth of food.
last nights effort was, after a day of looking at Places To Eat in my locality, discovering that there was a chefs hat italian place walking distance from both my bus stop to the city, and my apartment, having Desperate Need to eat pasta.
i'm now ranking the place - Dieci e Mezzo - as my favourite canberra fine-dining-y eatery. the food was incredible. In-Cred-I-Ble. the oysters were big fat bouncy rock oysters, exceptionally fresh (without a doubt the freshest i have had in canberra), and the side sauce thing was not overpowering. also, served on the side. never put that shit on the oysters, Fancy Places. i like always having one or two oysters completely natural.
the main was a tortellini with pumpkin, goats cheese and these things called 'mustard fruit' which were intensely salty, but perfect with the pasta.
dessert, a panacotta made on almond milk. oh god. and extremely well priced, for a restaurant of that quality. only issue, very little vegetarian on the current menu - but apparently they change the menu about once a month.
THIS is their website. go and marvel at their amazing menu. go and eat there. i would possibly rank the meal i had last night as the best i've had in canberra. and that is a Big Call.
