Last night at Tetsuyas, Sydney.

The whole meal was amazing. Couldn’t fault it.

We didn’t opt for the caviar or the pacific oysters.

Big eye tuna. This was stunning. So hard to pick a dish of the night but this was delicious, the walnut element is the walnut oil.

Scallops. Cooked beautifully but I was disappointed the roe had been removed though I know it’s more fine dining that way. The seaweed crumble was delicious. Toasty.

The signature - supposedly one of the most photographed plates in the world. Green apple with basically raw fish is surprisingly delicious

The bread. Sourdough & kombu croissant rolls.
With truffle butter.

Everyone does truffle everything nowadays but Tets has been doing it forever.

Bonus birthday “cake” to share. This was layers of very rich dark chocolate mousse, ganache, crushed praline & finished with a mirror glaze & gold leaf.

It wasn’t anyone’s birthday and we didn’t fake it. We told our server it was a make up dinner for the birthday booking I had in September 2021 which was canceled due to Sydney’s second Covid lockdown.

I had a mule in my first round - I will be trying out yuzu juice with what we suspect was fevertree ginger beer asap.

And finally the petit four

Aren’t the plates stunning? This is handmade of heavy clay.

My kind of food! Lovely...
 
Olive pasta tonight. One of my go-tos since it’s fast, delicious, and I almost always have the ingredients on hand.

Currently pressing tofu - I had a block in the fridge that’s nearing its expiry date, so I need to do something with it. I’ll coat it in cornstarch, nutritional yeast, and seasonings, then bake it in the oven so it’s good and crispy.

Last time I made this, I caught my husband, who “hates tofu” sneaking a piece off the tray, then grabbing another when I went to put the leftovers away…I think I’ve found a second way to get him to eat tofu! (The first way is to coat soft tofu in cornstarch and cornmeal, then shallow-fry it).
