It has been an eventful week which saw the engineers and their companions enjoy a trip to the South West region of W.A. Not entirely sweet, but it was pretty damn good! While I have been down South plenty of times, this was one of the best trips ever. The lovely holiday home at Margaret river was orgasmic. For a good culinary experience, Denmark Hotel satisfied me once again. The menu has changed but not the quality.
Our group of 15 people ordered pretty much everything that can be ordered from the menu. Steaks, pork chops, lamb, seafood and chicken. Not to mention salads and soups too!! But since the table was super duper long, I did not take every single picture. Driving 500km was tiring and definitely took a toll on my legs. Hehehe. Now for the good part, time to dive in to the food.
For starters, Xin Ling and I shared a chunky tomato soup!
The soup was super good. YiHeng loved it. Xin ling who does not like sweet foods was also tempted to try a spoon and kept spooning more afterwards. Definitely a winner:)!
For my main, I choose the marinated lamb pieces with a rocket salad on a bed of pumpkin mash with fetta cheese and an onion something ahah. Finished with sauces that tasted awesome.
The lamb was yummy!!! But the goddamn serve was so small =X!! Luckily I ordered the soup beforehand. It helped fill me to the halfway mark. To enjoy the flavours that were scattered around the plate, I cut small pieces of everything and mixed it in my mouth. Totally kickass! But the mash and Balsamic vinegar sauce is not for everyone. For example, UWA’s top Civil Engineer Anthony did not enjoy it ahahaha. I think he likes his lamb with poppy seeds xD!!
Next up is Yi Heng main. The Denmark Sirloin Steak with salad and cheaps.
While the cut is as big and juicy as ever, this lovely steak no longer comes on a sizzling plate :(! It’s now the pub style steak served with chips. I tried a small piece of it and it was perfectly cooked. Juicy with some fats enveloped around the meat!! I like it that way, but I’m not sure about the preferences of health conscious people. Oh yeah, Jim who ordered the same thing had his NOT cooked to order. It was slightly overcooked :(! I think 15 people was too much for this small town restaurant to handle @.@!
And the little darling’s dish was the oven roasted chicken wrapped with prosciutto served with polenta and finished with grilled asparagus, and cherry tomatoes.
The best way to describe this was visual pleasure. I feel rested with her selection even without tasting it. While the chicken meat alone is dry, combining the polenta with the chicken meat and some cherry tomatoes make it taste a whole lot better. The juiciness within the tomatoes were eagerly waiting to burst out in every way. Super yummy too. I think she enjoyed her chicken quite a fair bit. However, the polenta was not as creamy as we would have liked it to be. Expected a more refined texture, but it was still acceptable hehe.
Another dish that received thumbs up for the night was the pork chop. I have to admit, it looked legendary. Like a house built on an isle surrounded by a red sea.That was my second choice if I had not chosen the lamb. It was totally juicy inside like chicken thigh fillet :D!
Ok peeps, that is all for now. Will be updating more posts on the trip ahah.
