Tour of Tasmania # day 2 dinner


Second day dinner, we dine in Blue Eye Restaurant which located in the heart of Salamanca place. 




Every meal was started with bread. 


Starter
Local scallops, crumbed, tartare sauce, lemon

Slightly surprise when we noticed that scallops were served in fried form as we were hoping to taste the freshness of the scallops (perhaps just steam ). 
Thai fishcakes, sweet and sour dipping sauce
This was yummy! Thai fishcakes. It was awesome and out of my expectation as it seems like normal to me when I looked at the name of the dish. This story told me that, never judge too early. 



Forgotten what this call

Fish of the day: Moo Brew beer battered,crumbed or grilled



Longford scotch fillet of beef, slow roasted tomato, mushroom, greens, chips


Vegetarian mixed grill, roast mushroom, + tomato, asparagus, chips, salad, tartare

This was my order. I chose this is because i think that i need something vege rather than meat. It was too much meat during first night dinner.  But honestly, I don't really like too big piece of raw vege. However, i love the roast mushroom and tomato. Super nice!!! The taste of mushroom and tomato is so so original??! (sorry for my poor vocabulary, that is the only word that i can think of.) I don't know how to describe the taste. It, just....super nice!!! 


Orange + Lemon creme brulee
Dessert time! Again, we share all those dessert.
Sticky date + Appricot pudding, toffee sauce, vanilla bean ice cream

I personally love this. 
Leatherwood honey pannacotta, raspberry sorbet

Cinnamon churros, warm raspberry jam, vanilla bean ice cream




Another night held my big stomach which filled with good food in Tasmania. LOL!

Walking out the restaurant, it was super cold. Seriously super cold at night. Feel impressed when saw few girls who wearing sleeveless dress  walking on the street in this super cold night. Well, Salamanca is a happening place as bars and pubs are located there.Wish them enjoyed the night.

Company 25th Anniversary Tour of Tasmania # day 2

On the second day, we went to Bruny Island. It is located at South - Eastern coast of Tasmania. After having our breakfast at hotel, we depart to Port Kettering. We reached Bruny Island by ferry from Port Kettering. The journey took 15 minutes and arrives at Roberts Point. 






After we reached Bruny Island, there was around  one hour journey drive to the Adventure Bay. After  enjoyed light refreshment, we were on boat for a 3 hours Bruny Island Wilderness Cruise. 



Honestly, I was just vomited when we reached Port Kettering. Therefore, I was a bit not feel well and swollen some medicine which make me feel a bit sleepy. Besides, I felt super super cold, almost freeze at there. Although everyone of us had took the ginger tablet, I even took two! I think I should take three tablet at least. Why? I was almost hibernate due to sleepiness, coldness and dizziness. However, this was fantastic experience. I say so is because the nature environment there is so much beautiful and amazing.  I was totally impressed by the nature view there. 

Pictures say more than word. You may scroll down to have a look.

Seals...Laying on there. 




Dolphin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Almost everyone were screaming. I am the exception as I was no extra energy to scream. 


We were having lunch at beach side cafe after the cruise ended. Soup was provided to warm up our body. 


During our journey back to the port, our boss not to forget bought some fresh oysters. HURRAY!!!! 






Super amazing view! seriously Love the nature here, except the super cold weather. LOL!!!
