My family came to Brisbane for mid-semester two holidays last week! They just went back yesterday morning and I already miss them heapssss. :( anyhow, gonna stay focus and bia for the last term.
Because I had trip with friends to Coffs Harbour (will update when I got those photos) during the long weekend, I couldn't have mooncake celebration with them, so dad brought us dinner on Friday night, the night before I left. We had our dinner at Marco Polo Dining Bar. It is in Treasury Casino. It's a known fact that children under 18 years old can't enter the casino, so the whole dinner session we were kind of 'monitored' by the manager. Even when I wanted to go to washroom, which is outside of the restaurant but part of the casino areas, I need to bring my passport with me. -.-
The menu. Live seafood! But we didn't have that for dinner, save it for the dinner when I am back to SI. :P
random shot by sis. wine anyone?
Guess what's that?
BUTTER!
The thing that came into my mind at first was candle. ><"
The bread rolls were really awesome. Soft, with fragrance, sesame seeds.
To add to that, they were served when they were still hot!
See how the butter melted? Aww
I ate half of it. Favourite bread rolls!
Entree: Oysters.
My dad and my all-time-favourite.
The oysters were too small and the thai sauce didn't taste good. The sourness covered the freshness of the oysters when you put into your mouth.
(Talking crap, anyway, I'm pro enough right? :p)
Wonton in chicken broth.
All of us love this soup. Three wontons in every single serve. The broth tastes really well, as in you can feel like no ajinomoto added in it and purely chicken!
The roasted pork with bak-choy.
THIS IS AWESOME. there seems like lots of fats on the pork, but trust me, have a bite and there are all tender meat.
Tofu with stir-fry vegetables.
Didn't taste on the tofu cos my brother had most of it (he's a tofu-lover)
According to him, it's nice. Well, all tofu tastes nice to him.
The main dishes! Peking duck!
Ohmygooosh this was so good. However the portion was a bit small for my family.
This is the whole duck, and when the waiter served this dishes,
'Is this the whole duck?' I asked.
Well, just to re-confirm. :P
Not to forget the dessert! Handmade chocolates.
Mint dark choc, raspberry white choc, white on white choc, pure dark choc, cheery-mint choc and milk choc.
Love the pure dark choc and the cherry mint choc. They didn't taste that sweet.
So yeah, that's our mooncake festival celebration, followed by a little bit of shopping. YES along Queen Street again.
Anyway, worth a go when there's special occasions on. To be frank, it's more suitable for couples ahaaaha, due to the romantic atmosphere.
Okiess, enjoy your Friday and the coming weekend after the long break! Everyone who's studying, all the best in the last term of the year! those working, feel your passion on working! God bless :D
Ciao~
