Valentine's Day is an international holiday, and Larry and I enjoyed a dinner out. It took a bit to find a restaurant. Not because there is any lack of dining establishments but because most of the really fine restaurants were serving special Valentine's Day menus that feature things Larry won't eat and charge $100 per person for the pleasure. After much research of websites and phone calls, we settled on a sustainable steakhouse featuring Australian grass-fed beef: the Mumu Grill. It's in Crows Nest, maybe 15 minutes away, but we took a wrong turn and ended up driving past the Sydney Opera House. (Yes, that means we inadvertently went over the bridge.)
Amazingly, we arrived just shortly after our booking time and were seated immediately. The steaks ranged from prime rib to sirloin and filet. Larry went with the sirloin and I ordered the Victorian Fillet, which I imagined was filet mignon, wrapped in prosciutto and sage. It was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Served perfectly medium-rare. Mmmmmm.
For those of you wondering how the chocolate tastes over here, well, we've found a chocolate shop in Chatswood that has the most remarkable rose-infused dark chocolate bits. Larry bought me a box of 9 - 2 rose infused, 2 orange, 2 banana, 2 raspberry, and 1 hazelnut. All dark chocolate, all delicious!
