digested!

To celebrate Steph's birthday, we went to the Hippopotamus Restaurant in the Museum Hotel in Wellington for a degustation dinner, along with Colin and their friends Simon and Jackie. It was a very fun evening - good company and delicious food! We were also sat by the window so had a good view of the harbour. We had six courses in all. Steph did the wine matching, but the rest of us just picked drinks to go along with the meal as we wanted. That menu in full...

Salmon Sashimi
Cream of cauliflower with scampi tails and crustacean oil
Seared Snapper fillet with wilted bok choy and lemon buerre blanc
Roasted beef fillet with braised beef cheek and port wine and truffle jus
Croustillant of goat cheese with macros salad and mulled wine reduction
Crepes Suzette
