Today we had one of the best lunches in many years. Great food and fantastic service with an Australian flair. When Aussies are good they are very very good.
The restaurant was Moo Moo at Broadbeach on the Gold Coast. So the restaurant.

We started by sharing a half dozen oysters Kilpatrick. The bacon was minced which gave the topping a much better flavour and texture. To top it off the oysters were from Boomer Bay which we sampled when we went to Van Bone restaurant near by in Tasmania. I would say the best Kilpatrick oysters I have had.

We both decided on 2 entrees having eaten here before. The steaks are superb but too filling now. Your appetite decreases with age. So Rojaan started with carpaccio.

She loved it. I went with a dish I had before. The bang bang duck. It comes like this -

The duck meat is then shredded at the table.

And then added to the salad which consists of Shimeji, Cucumber, Garlic Shoots, Chilli Shredded Salad + Bang Bang Dressing.

The duck is a little dry so the dressing is a must.

I will possibly have it again when we come back.

So the rest of the meal.
Rojaan had the veal bone marrow with roasted onions and toast.

 

I had the waygu steak entree. Kyushu Satsuma Waygu MB 12+ which is cooked at the table on a hot rock. Here is the plate initially and the meat being cooked. Comes with Miso Bearnaise, Yuzu Gel + Charred Shallot.

 

And the finished dish.

great skill having it rare cooking it this way.

Really melt in your mouth stuff.
And here is what we thought of those 2 dishes.

 

We had dessert so Rojaan chose the The Apple which is an apple tart with White Chocolate Mousse, Apple & Mint Compote.

Again she loved it.
I went with the cheese and had a Tin Tin washed rind soft cheese from the Adelaide hills and a Shropshire blue from Nottinghamshire.. It was beautifully presented.

We washed that all down with a Wineglass Bay Sav blanc from Tasmania.
Our waiter was excellent. friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Credit must go to management as the wait staff have regular training days with tasting of the dishes so they know about them all. We did ask a couple of questions and it was fantastic not to be told hang on I will just go and ask the chef. And we gave him a lot of info about Tasmania where he would really like to go. He would be a stand out at any restaurant down there.

So if anyone finds them self staying on Queensland's Gold Coast then this place is worth considering for a meal.

Okay...I sound have said that it "sounds" spectacular.  The pictures are not actually showing us.  I thought it was just my tablet acting up.  I've tried other browsers with no joy!

Still showing for me but the pictures are from my Iphone which can do strange things such as the lst picture for me being sideways.

This is from my computer but on my Iphone the pictures are just a question mark. Might have to repost in the morning.

Am using my MacBook Pro and could not see the pix's from Dr. Ron that seemed to be wonderful.  Was using Safari.  Also tried Firefox browser and that would not allow me to see, either.  Good luck in figuring out!!  Technology??

 

THANKS!  Enjoy!  Terry in Ohio

For those seeking "food porn", below are some examples from last week in wonderful and historic Quebec City.  Plus, a link below to a wider range of the excellent history, architecture and charm available in and around Quebec City.  Had five days there and really enjoyed its great charm and character.

At Quebec City's La Buche, they had a charming Canada-style interior and vibe that was super fun.  Plus, the food was wonderful, including an amazing French Onion soup and bison main entree.  Then, the dessert was from heaven!!:

Across from the QC City Hall at Alphonse, here was a wonderful seafood dish that I enjoyed outside on a nice sunny day lunch.:

I was wondering how you were seeing the good doctor's pics.  Thought it must have been the Canadian internet since you and Australia have a common head of state.

 

Terry's came through fine and dandy, but they always do.  😉

It's definitely not a Canadian thing.  If anything the "Canadian" thing would be no access to lots of stuff.  I love my country and sometimes it can trip me up!  😅
