| We were utterly defeated after Sixpenny! The rest of Sunday was a total write-off :o We crashed as soon as we got back to the hotel, and didn't wake again until about 10pm that night, just in time for 'siu yeh' (midnight snack) in Chinatown. |

We arrived. We ate. We walked. We ate. We slept. We woke. We ate. We slept. We woke. We ate. We slept. We woke. We ate. We walked. We left. It was absolutely amazing to visit Marque after our experiences at Pei Modern, and Sixpenny after being inspired by the 'Friends of Attica' dinner. Thank you Sydney!
Please note our mushroom disclaimer from a previous post:
Here is the mandatory disclaimer: Everything I have read on mushrooms or describing mushrooms has to tell you that if you cannot tell with 100% certainty if a mushroom is edible or not – do not eat it. I am saying this as well. Don’t eat it if you don’t know. Really. I had to talk my father down on the phone a couple of days ago when he called me to say that he had picked some field mushrooms whilst playing golf. Most likely he had picked yellow stainer mushrooms which would make him vomit and shit water for a week, but it could easily have been a death cap. They are one of the most poisonous mushrooms in the world and are very common in Victoria. The whole reason we signed up to go on a guided tour is to have an expert there to show us what to look for.

ReplyDeleteThanks Neil :) We were lucky enough to experience another version of that dish at the Friends of Attica dinner - it inspired me to visit Sixpenny!
