On Wednesday night Neil and I went to Sage for a super nice dinner hosted by Brokenwood wines. A night of delicious food and a *lot* of wine ensued. All the food was amazing, I'd like to go back again some time. We happened to be seated next to a lovely couple from Nicholls (Vicki and Stuart) who (after it got way past last bus time) gave us a lift home.
This was cured salmon. I typically prefer cooked salmon, but this was *awesome*. And that yellow thing? A slice of lemon that had been baked (or fried?) and was crunchy and sour and delicious. A wonderful opening course.
This was pork belly with cauliflower and some odd prawn-chip style popcorn stuff?? (I really wish we'd had a menu so I could tell you what everything was!) The only problem with this dish for me is that all that pork? It's just a lump of fat :( There was no meat at all :(:( I ended up doing a bit of a swapsie with Neil so I could get some meat.
This was lamb I believe. Lovely and tender.
They also brought out some sides of a creamy mashed potato and salad which were just lovely, but I didn't get photos.
A couple of cheeses to end the night. I loved the creamy one.
To go with the cheeses.
