question: which one is the real avocado? heh
i scored this awesome avocado bowl + spoon from lene (hihi!) heh isnt it the best bowl evah!? the lid is tops to rest the spoon on but even better becos i dont need to cling wrap the bowl if i have leftover guacamole
i needed an excuse to use the avocado bowl so dinner was tacos!
yeah my meat to topping ratio is slightly skewed…

yup i realise my risotto dont look so great. in theory i had wanted to turn the risotto into super dark blue but after the first 3 drops of the blue food colouring i got a lil turned off and wimped out hehe it was for the boy who was counting down the days until state of origin. like my asparagus goal posts? pity the blues lost bah!
yep last shot of the blueness. dont worry i wont be doing this again any time soon haha it was especially disconcerting eating blue chicken…

Chophouse. The very name brings images of giant cleavers and of course meat. Lots of meat. A small contingent of food bloggers had been invited by the lovely Abbe from Chophouse for the launch of the new roast dinner option. Chophouse (25 Bligh St, Sydney) is offering the Roast Dinner for the awesome price of $18 Monday to Saturday.
We make our way inside and it’s all warm and cosy with deep chocolate brown sofa seats and cavernous ceilings
A skull chandelier hangs above the bar creating an interesting and slightly morbid light decoration
How cute are the bread plates!
mmm baked goods
But the moment we have been waiting for! Roast Dinner – Riverine Premium Beef, Byron Bat Berkshire Pork with Crackling! Served with Japanese pumpkin and Dutch cream potatoes. And the crackling oh the crackling! After the flurry of photos taken it was funny to see everyone carefully set aside their square of crackling for last haha
MAH CRACKLING! Also big thank you to Shez who for some reason decided to give me half her piece of crackling heh i dont turn down crackling!
Potato gratin. We also score some side dishes and the potato gratin is one of the best i’ve ever eaten with just the right amount of cheese smothering slices of tender potato and topped with a grilled parmesan crust.
Seasonal green beans. For some reason the beans tasted minty. It was probably just me but I have issues with mint flavour. Yeah i dunno.
And finally dessert time! House-made chocolate block with 80% milk and 20% dark chocolate, combining for a blend that is 46% cocoa. The blend is perfect and not too sweet (hah! this coming from me!) and hidden within the chocolate were shards of crunchy praline deliciousness. Shez is wielding the mini cleaver and chops letter by letter with such glee and then it is a battle of the eyes with Helen over the remaining pieces until…
the lovely head chef David Clarke stops by and gives us 3 blocks of the Chophouse chocolate to take home ahhh a man after my own heart heh again much thanks to Abbe for the invite!
