Lamb Rendang at Tomahawk!


Rustled up a table to check out the new items on the menu at Tomahawk. The friends hadn't been to this restaurant, so we had to take them here for a sampling of the menu. Ryo and Choya came with. The champagne we had at the friends' earlier nicely filled us up. No major drinking to be done at the restaurant then. Had an easy bottle of chianti

After the starters, we just went on to the mains. I had asked if the kitchen could do a special fish for the night. The kitchen obliged and managed to get us a whole garouper. So we had seared garouper with scallops on squid ink mash. That was really lovely. 

There was a special for the week; a lamb rack rendang! Put in a pre-order for it. Apparently the lamb rack could be done in rendang or chilli con carne. We opted for rendang done spicy. Delicious. It looked big, but it wasn't that bad. The size was because of the bones and while the meat was totally sufficient to feed us all, it wasn't massive. 

Of course we had to have beef, but nothing dramatic. We opted for a modest 300g serving in the form ofan Australian Pure Black Picanha done medium. Along with desserts to share, that was more than enough food for all of us.

Ryo was so pleased to be here. Choya simply settled in under Uncle B's chair, her chosen human for the night. This is likely the only restaurant that Ryo is completely comfortable in — indoors, floofs allowed on chairs, spacious and cool.
