[Travel Tasmania] Mudbar Restaurant @ Seaport Launceston

0 comments

We were staying for 2 nights at Peppers Seaport which is located at the waterfront and Mudbar is the affiliated restaurant with the hotel as we could also find Mudbar's QR code in our hotel room.

I was curious about the place and suggested to the group to drop by for some late lunch snacks. The restaurant offers a casual-classy vibe. Service staff who spotted us at the door, gave a brief greeting and ushered us to the table.

Menu was offered and we took some time to peruse and decide on what we wanted. 

food menu


Mudbar serves modern Australian cuisine and from its menu, there's plenty of dishes with strong Asian influences.

This was also one of those places where one is asked whether we prefers sparkling or still water. Back home, the most memorable was when we racked up SGD39 on bottled sparkling water in one of the Italian restaurant...


let's try

nice glassware



Me? It was the perfect time for a beer/cider and my drinking buddy, Ivan (and occasionally Tracy/Shermaine) concurred. Hahaa!

refreshing~


For light snacks, we tried the chicken wings and fat chips. Savoury is always a good choice for alcoholic drinks. I enjoyed both the sticky soy wings and the hot piping fat chips. Yums!

Fat Chips with garlic aioli @AUD12


Presentation for the chicken wings was lovely with the cute sprinkling of black and white sesame, plus the spring onions. Wings were smallish, but so so tasty!




Hence and Tracy ordered a slice of cake, so I had a bite of it.

[Jeju] Sightseeing at Cheonjeyeon Falls (천제연폭포) and Lunch at The Cliff @ Seogwipo

0 comments

After a hearty breakfast at Jeju Osung, we went on a mini adventure to see the Cheonjeyeon Waterfall (천지연폭포). Here are some photos to share:

Cheonjeyeon Fall #1 (Pond)

accessible via these steps

I could only make it to one of the 3 nearby falls. Weather was gloomy and it was slightly drizzling while we were in there. The steps are made of rocks so it was uneven and slightly slippery, especially when there's moss and leaves.

drinking water, in case thirsty

Then, off to The Cliff for some drinks and maybe a light lunch. It was just 10 minutes away from where we were.

let's go inside

chillax vibes


beach bar vibes

It's a self-service system at The Cliff. Order from the counter, pay and you'll get a buzzer to inform when food/drinks are ready.

splurging on drinks and bar food

Went over to the bar to see how the drinks are being made and tried to ask about the liquor used. However, language barrier was apparent as the bar tend tried to explain but I just couldn't catch what they were saying. I think they thought I was asking if there's alcohol in the drinks and obviously, they said yes. 


pretty drinks

We ordered both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic version of Seakdal Beach and both the cocktail and mocktail looked identical! So we had to be extra careful when bringing the right one back to Hence.

Seakdal Beach @₩17000

But hor, cocktail and mocktail are priced the same too! Hmmm interesting, yes?

We decided to order just 2 items for lunch since everyone was still pretty full from the heavy breakfast. Sausage and fries, and it was a toss between pizza or pasta. So glad we went for pasta as the anchovy pasta turned out to be amazing!

Long sausage and truffle fries @₩26000

Black Pork and Anchovy Pasta @₩22000

Why did the pasta tasted so good? One could not really taste the black pork but the saltiness from the anchovies and garlic was so so addictive. Oily, salty and tasty!

Ping Pong @₩16000

I liked my choice of drink; Ping Pong that has a slight hint of lychee. Presumably, they were using just lychee liquer and grenadine. Sweet and refreshing. Lovely contrast to the saltiness from  the sausage and pasta.

The cocktail gave the impression that it was super light but wait for it as the buzz will come only towards the end of the drink.

6ixty 7even Restaurant & Bar @ 67 Neil Road

0 comments

Went back with a group of friends as promised. Read more on our previous visit here. This time round, we opted for the upstairs dining experience.

table for six


Got ourselves a bottle of red, while some of us were having cocktails to start.

cheers~

Fries and wine, why not? Our small bowl of truffle fries were so delectable as it was served piping hot. Yums!

Truffle fries with gruyere cheese and truffle aioli @$15

Korean Yangyeom Style Crispy Chicken Karaage @$14

Pan Roasted Foiegras, Caramelised Granny Smith Apples, Mulled Wine Raisins, Feuille de Brick @$26

Loved the chicken karaage as it was well fried and not too tiny to bite. The foie gras was a tad challenging to be shared amongst so many of us, haha! 

Kurobuta Pork Chop Bone In, 250g @$42


For mains, we ordered the pork chop, chicken roulade and braised beef cheek. Everyone loved the mash that came with the roulade because it was so naturally sweet. The beef cheek was the standout dish for it was so flavourful and tender. Hits all the right spots. Loved the pork chop as well but it was just 250g. Limited edition but was good enough for everyone to have a taste.

Crispy Roulade of Farmed Chicken @$28

Signature Connor Stout Braised Beef Cheek @$32

To end our meal, we had the Basque Burnt Cheesecake. It was lovely.

Basque Burnt Cheesecake @$20

Cosmopolitan @$16

Had fun hanging out with the monthly buddies. Cheers and see you again!

Expect to spend about $80 per pax, inclusive of a drink.

[Tasting] 6ixty 7even Restaurant & Bar (67 Restaurant) @ 67 Neil Road

0 comments

Do you love venturing out, looking for cool new places to hang-out? 6ixty 7even Restaurant & Bar offers contemporary (modern) European cuisine with a touch of fusion.


6ixty 7even Restaurant & Bar

menu


Level 1 has a bar-atmospheric vibe with dark tones and high chairs. Plus a chiller full of alcoholic selection. One couldn't help but to order a drink here.

high chairs and tables

Level 2 dining area offers a more intimate and cosy setup for tete-a-tete with friends and loved ones.

Level 2

cosy vibes


If you're one who is curious about all the actions happening in the kitchen, then go ahead and grab a counter seat, or as some calls it, the Chef's Table. Say hi to Chef Ramesh and Vince. They are super friendly! Or simply watch when they are prepping your dinner.

guess where I'm seated


Vince prepping our first course


67 Signature Menu


Chilled Truffle Angel Hair Pasta (@$20 ala-carte)


The first course was beautifully plated and one could feel the care that went into prepping. Chilled Truffle Angel Hair Pasta is a familiar item at various places, and the version at 6ixty 7even has a balanced flavour with a refreshing feel. Noodles prepared al-dente, with lovely crispy sakura ebi. Subtle yet adequate.


Next course, soup.

I liked the idea of the plate with ingredients being presented first, but without the soup. No lah, not for us to get ready for the pour shot (but it works that way too, if you want), but more for us to appreciate the ingredients inside before soup is poured over. Visual treat, if you may.

ingredients appreciation

Truffle Scented Forest Mushroom Soup (@$15 ala-carte)

Again, the flavours are adequately balanced and the chunky mushrooms added 'bite' to the soupy experience. Noticeably, the portion of soup was rather generous! For me, I loved the distinctive charred smokey taste of the brioche crouton. Yummy!


Chef Ramesh plating our main course


For the 67 Signature Menu, one could choose between the Chicken or Fish for the main course.


Pan Seared Tiberias Harvest locally sourced Barramundi (@$28 ala-carte)

A feast for the eye. Loved the vibrant colours! The sauce tasted creamy, with a touch of acidity that nuances perfectly with the freshness of the barramundi. Violet quinoa are so pretty!

Violet Quinoa with Edamame beans, Braised Baby Cabbage, Iranian Saffron Emulsion

Vince was slicing a small portion of the chicken dish and we could hear the crispiness of it! That certainly amped up some expectations!

Crispy Roulade of Farmed Chicken (@$28 ala-carte)

Where shall I begin? 

Visuals are on-point. Kabocha pumpkin puree was so naturally sweet. The tarragon chicken jus coating the roulade, was of a genteel flavour and kept the chicken moist. Tasted wholesome and this crispy chicken roulade, is now one of my favourite food.


favourite dish


Final course, the dessert. Chef Ramesh told us there is a 'surprise' element in the dessert and he will quiz us on it later. Wah... stressed!

67 Chocolate Dome (@$17 ala-carte)


The raspberry sorbet was done well and it wasn't too sour nor too sweet. The chocolate dome itself was of a mousse-like texture, with some bitterness (in a good way) from the cocoa and I thought it tasted of hazelnuts somewhere inside there. Loved the berries and the soil. And yes, happy to report that we 'passed' the test! The surprise is not revealed here although someone else had mentioned it in their blog.

The 67 Signature Set is priced at $67++ and offers good value to diners. The portions were good, and enjoyable flavours.

Signature Classics


Clover Club @$17

Pegu Club @$17

There are only 2 cocktails available currently under the Signature Classic section. Both drinks were pretty sweet, and I prefers the Pegu Club. Tasted of gin, cointreu and lime juice.


It was an enjoyable dining experience for both Ivan and myself. Thank you Sherman for the invite, and  Chef Ramesh and Vince for feeding us. Thank you 6ixty 7even Restaurant & Bar for hosting us.
