Taste of sydney at Centennial park, 12 – 15 March 2009
Every foodie’s dream come true – to have the top restaurants in Sydney serve sample sized signature dishes in a beautiful outdoor setting. The autumnal weather was crisp and perfect last evening… and so begins the adventures of Miss Pac Man (where you go around a maze and eat continuously… until you win!)
But the first stop – Flowing chandon inside the VIP Emirates Lounge, to wet the whistle.
And here’s just a few (ok so we had a lot, don’t judge me) dishes we sampled yesterday. Check out the rest of the restaurant menu’s here
Yellow fin tuna with ruby grapefruit and sweet crackling pork by Flying Fish
Tempura ricotta filled zucchinni flower with basil pesto sauce (left) by Jonah’s, Spicy pork betels leaves with pickled ginger (right) by Longrain
Gundooee organic grass fed wagyu beef burger, eton mess with summer berries by Becasse
Arancini of truffle rissotto and buffalo mozzarella, spinach and fennel sauce by Berowra Waters Inn
Fagottino di carne – homemade sausage bound with parmesan and truffle egg, finished with lemon EVO by Buon Ricordo
Vanilla panna cotta with lavender honey and fresh pomegranate by Jonah’s – here’s the video!
It is hilarious, the way it moves!
There are also amazing food stalls from providores (I bought some amazing straccino from Pasenella!), butchers, organic farmers, so there is plenty of time to walk off your full stomach while you’re… buying more food to eat for later. I picked up some incredible wagyu steaks (marble score 
for $30 each! The cute staff member gave us a discount. Now who doesn’t love a good looking man who knows his beef – and then proceeds to let you sample them.
I want to treat him like a piece of meat.
Hopefully you Sydney siders will get a chance to attend this amazing event!
