Mushrooms on Sunday, why not? 




A great combination of starters ignited another wonderful evening in front of the always fascinating view of Syd City's cbd/harbour/botanical gardens/surry hills...




My first, and very nice, bottle of 2010 Sorrenberg gamay drove this evening, after an initially aborted test of an unknown pinot noir from Mudgee. For whatever reason, there is a clear affair going on between my palate and a number of Victorian wines, chapeau! 




Rocket Ron was the only lucky one who got "txangurro" filled red capsicum. And this time Lynn topped it with Japanese panko, instead of regular bread crams. He has clearly reached the top of Club 904's list of VIPs.




Large papardelle "al dente" with tasty mushrooms was our main, although I'm not sure there was a clear main per se. Our evening felt more like an amalgamation of distant, but complementary flavours.




The stellar part of this dinner was a fabulous almond/orange cake delivered by no other than Mr. Rocket Ron himself, who has by now confirmed his incredibly  sophisticated baking talent.
