Vivid Sydney is back spreading the fabulous light through the city and the best seat in town to watch the ever changing colours of the opera house is at harbourkitchen&bar (Park Hyatt Sydney, 7 Hickson Road, The Rocks). The boy took me to dinner for my birthday a coupla weeks ago so i could return and eat some glorious burrata with someone who doesn’t work for a magazine and sneers at foodbloggers haha

Warm bread rolls arrive and is magically replaced all night.

Local cow’s milk burrata with Ox heart tomato and ‘Lakelands’ olive oil ($24). New fave cheese oh gawd burrata is so freaking awesome!

A mozzarella shell with mozzarella and cream innards oh baby! I was so tempted to order this for my mains too…

The boy ordered the tuna but it wasn’t as awesome as the burrata. The tuna seemed like such a waste being cut into cubes

‘Rangers Valley’ 400 day grain fed F1 MS7+ Wagyu beef rump 250g ($48). Mmm meat so juicy and flavourful and cooked medium rare as ordered.

Duck fat fried potatoes ($9) was a bowl of never ending golden fat fries that would’ve been awesome had we not had an entree or um a main oh gawd so tasty but so very filling

Cauliflower gratin ($9) seemed a bit lacking in the flavour department. I think i like my gratins with a whole lotta cheese and toasty crunchy breadcrumbs and a sauce that isn’t too thin.

Hazelnut Dacquoise with chocolate ganache and milk gelato ($19). It’s great when your stomach magically expands to fit in dessert! Crisp meringue layer with a layer of smooth chocolate and i think mousse? It was a dessert worth scraping the plate clean.

<3
Back to home
Urghhh. I’m supposed to be studying for exam that’s in about 8 hours ..BUT no I decided to come on here and now I am very hungry :/ Especially for those fries …they look so damn nice xD

— Jacq Jun 21, 12:01 PM #whoaaa….that buratta looks deadly (good) !
— Monica Jun 21, 12:36 PM #Sounds like you had a fantastic night! Love the idea of burrata…I wonder if it’s possible to make at home?
— Chris Jun 21, 01:26 PM #I think I would’ve ordered a burrata and entree and mains. lol. No dessert for Noods?
— Helen (grabyourfork) Jun 21, 01:57 PM #Sounds like a lovely night! I too am a great fan of the magically-expanding-to-fit-in-dessert tummy! What would we do without it?
— Katie Jun 21, 05:51 PM #omg i love duck fat lol so deadly but sooo gewwwd. What does the burrata cheese taste like? does it have a slight funkiness like goats cheese or is it simple and refreshing like bocconcini? _
— Leona @ pigged-out.com Jun 21, 05:52 PM #Awww how sweet of Noods =) Shame that the other experience was tainted but it’s just awesome to have the experience with no prejudgements from others. Oh and I am a big sucker for FRIES!
— angie Jun 21, 08:02 PM #Mmmm very good looking food a view. I like the idea of the burrata, I’m going to have to get myself some of that.
I can’t believe you are posing for a photo when your dessert is melting in front of you :)
