Rare MicCanberra Posted March 11, 2022 #4728 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I find it funny how they will serve up around 50 kgs of meat to every 500 grams of salad. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaznjo Posted March 12, 2022 #4729 Share Posted March 12, 2022 We asked in Argentina , "what do you season with?" ... they say nothing as Argentinian meat is so good already!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackduck59 Posted March 12, 2022 Author #4730 Share Posted March 12, 2022 First of the season fresh halibut for supper I know, not as impressive as that slab of beef but that is a long way from here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2014 whilst having 10 days in Buenos Airies pre cruise, we went out to a ranch outside the city, saw the gauchos do their thing on their horses and had a massive bbq beef lunch with muchas Malbec. Yes the Argie bbqs are legendary. I think they chucked salt on the beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt helps create a nice crust on the outside, by drawing out some of the the juices which then caramelise on the surface. Sea salt or salt flakes are best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare lyndarra Posted March 13, 2022 #4735 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Went to see "9 to 5" at the Capitol Theatre, Sydney on Thursday night. Stayed at the Mantra hotel which is almost across the road and parking was adjacent to the theatre and pretty much in China Town. Hotel had a discount on parking, it was $30 for the night. It was an excellent show with narration by Dolly Parton. Get along to see it if you can. Max wearing was optional but I wore mine - felt a bit like Robinson Crusoe.🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy walk to find good food and public transport close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted March 13, 2022 #4740 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Speaking of good shows, we went to see North by Northwest at the Lyric Theatre last week and it was brilliant. It's a stage adaptation of the Hitchcock film and is a very, very clever adaptation, including the traditional "Hitchcock" cameo appearance.

There are at least three Thai restaurants in Campbell st that I know of. It was ecellent food. This restaurant is so popular that you have to take a number then wait your turn in the street until a table becomes available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend the Stir fried crisp pork belly and wild ginger in spicy red curry. Scrumptious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we get Halibut in Australia, I have not seen it. I have eaten it in the MDR on the Princess ships, remember them? lol.
