Milkbar Memories: Ms G’s, Potts Point

How was your week dudes? My week has been pretty crazy and sometimes you just need to stop, take a breath and chill with your mates. So on Saturday our group of hungry peeps rocked up to Milkbar Memories, a special March Into Merivale lunch event at Ms G’s (155 Victoria St, Potts Point) which was 5 courses plus the choice of a milkshake or yuzu cocktail ($65) inspired by the local corner shop and humble milk bar. The chocolate milkshake is pretty awesome, icy cold and chocolatey and makes me start humming my milkshake brings all da boys to da yard…

First lol of the day is the Potato Scallop and Kransky with a Tomato Vinaigrette. Shizz just got real. Expecting a deep fried potato, I am delighted to find instead scallop sashimi covered in crushed potato chip nubbins which incredibly, totally works. I have extreme issues with celery and had to shaft it away but the Kransky was tasty with the tomato vinaigrette and chopped coriander.

Chiko roll and chicken dim sim. Now I’m gonna say something that some people might find un-Australian but um I don’t really like Chiko rolls… I know I know! Sacrilege! But like, I have this random issue with textures and flavours mixing and I just wasn’t a fan so I’m probably not the best person to ask about this dish. I liked the outside battered pastry because well, it’s deep fried. The chicken dim sim was a lil weird because I don’t think I have ever had one or seen one at my corner shop but that was one meaty siu mai and of course it ain’t Ms G’s without a dab of Sriracha hot sauce.

“It feels so wrong eating siu mai with a knife and fork.”

A second round of drinks is ordered, Pina ‘Pearls’ Colada and Good Morning Vietnam ($14) because cheeeeers to the freaking weeekend!

HOLY MOLY MOTHER OF CRAZY! When the Chip-crusted prawns arrived at our table we immediately broke into cackles when the waiter explained the flavours were Nacho Doritos, Burger Rings and Chicken Twisties. BAHHHHAHAHA I’m such a sucker for novelty!!! Apparently some people weren’t uber fans of the crushed chips on prawns idea. But that’s ok I totally won’t judge you, to each their own I say! Strangely enough I loved the prawnie with the Chicken Twisties the most which brought up a whole discussion on the new Twisties that turns your tongue blue.

Last course before dessert was the Mini Aussie Burger with home made fries and coos of ‘naww it’s so cuteee’ echoes around our table. Cute and delicious oh yes, a teensy tiny fried egg hides underneath the brioche bun and is snuggling with slices of beetroot and grilled onion and a slice of oozy melty cheese drapes sexily over the medium rare Beef Patty Of Awesome. And did I mention the crispy bacon? Or how about them delicious fries? Incrediballs.

What say you Steph? “Mmm burgahhh.” Eat ALL the burger! (x ALL the y is this month’s favourite meme hehe)

BUT WOAH, HOLDUP, CHECK OUT DESSERT: Monaco Bar x Golden Gaytime = WHY SO DELICIOUS?! I heart this so much! The biscuit is cakey-like and sandwiches two giant vanilla bean studded scoops of ice cream, topped with buttery biscuit crumbs and drizzled with gloriously rich salted caramel sauce that has us all frantically scraping our plates clean. This is how world peace would be solved. If you like dessert that is. And who doesn’t like dessert? (You there! Fella in the corner! We CANNOT be friends). Best. Dessert. Ever. Absolutely cannot wait for the Morning After the Night event next week!
