Simone and I are turning 27 late next week.. But we had to have our little twin birthday celebration lunch this week because we already have plans for our actual birthdays. And I like the idea of having our own food indulgence, we both enjoy nice food and it makes it a special treat to share together.
We had decided ages ago that the perfect place was
Toms Kitchen, which is down shafto lane in the city. Every time we come here the service is great and the food is amazing.
Simone enjoy the Slow cooked pork belly, beer braised cabbage, cannellini beans and crackle crumb. It was sooooo delicious! Really nice winter food, very filling and so tasty.
I had the Orechiette, beef cheek ragout and parmesan. The name for this pasta comes from its shape which is the Italian word for "ear". The ragout was rich and very morish.
We somehow had room left for dessert. Simone had the Sticky Date Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream and I had the Flourless Chocolate Cake with Lime Curd, Praline and Chocolate Dirt. Tastes were passed between us and both desserts were amazing. A lovely end to a fantastic lunch..
YUM, that second photo took me straight back! You didn't mention that beautiful wine.
