I was going to write about how busy my week had been but then realised that it had only really been 3 days since I last wrote. That said I went to an awesome restaurant on Saturday night and felt the need to write about it.
Verve on Flinders Way in Manuka has got to be one of the best restaurants I have been to in a long time. They don't particularly have a certain cuisine which they focus on as the menu ranges from Malaysian to Italian to Mexican with all sorts of other dishes in between. I started with a BBQ Duck and Papaya Salad which tasted a lot like Pad Thai but was delicious and despite being large was not filling. Main was a favourite of mine, Chimmichunga It can be fairly easy to get wrong but they seemed to nail it this time my only issue was lack of salad and the serving size was very large. That said at a restaurant of Verve's calibre to have such large servings was a shock as one would normally expect a smaller serving. Dessert was a Citrus Tart with mascarpone which yet again was delicious. If I was going to comment on one thing though it would be the cocktails. I had a cocktail called Amelie's Punch and it would be up there in the list of best cocktails I have ever had. Generally all the food was fresh using great ingredients and because of the variety on the menu it is the sort of place you can keep going back to.
That said I have finally finished my university assessment for the term so I guess it's probably time to post some stories from my Indonesia trip before I head off to the Philippines in 6 days.
Peace Out
