Steak

and sports

A strange day - windy, sunny but quite cool. The flat, being a greenhouse, was over 30 degrees. While that cooled down, we took the bikes for a run down through Westgate Park and back along the tram track from Port Melbourne. We stopped to watch a huge container ship steaming up the Yarra. Our vantage point was right by a restaurant that we'd been meaning to check out.

We came home, had a short swim to cool off, and headed back out for some food. Confusingly, our intended destination is part of afamily of restaurants with slightly different themes, all represented in Docklands. We picked the steakhouse. I had a huge T-bone, while others (preferring quality over quantity) chose the eye fillet. Excellent meat served on a potato gratin with exquisite sauces. The chips were absoultely perfect - crunchy shells with light, fluffy centres. We skipped starters, but ploughed happily into dessert. My passionfruit and chocolate mousse was a light, frothy delight. The chocolate pudding with extra chocolate and double chocolate sauce was demolished in reverent silence.

We'll be going back.
