Tops feeds in Sydney

Went to the truffle festival in Canberra cant recommend it enough.

Went to a place called Sage won best restaurant in 2013 they grow all their produce. Had a 3 course lunch for $75 Scotch egg on truffle mash, Puccini mushroom truffle risotto, truffled bread and butter pudding, it was a bargain and maybe the best lunch I ever had.

Dinner was @ the boat house on the lake 8 course degustation truffle menu with matching wine only $160 superb, as strange as it sounds the highlight was a the desert which I am usually not a fan of, roquefort truffle cheese cake with a cab sav ice cream and candy orange...it was a take on a cheese + wine plate, amazing.

Bought a 25g black french truffle currently in the fridge with 18 eggs infusing them for scrambled eggs, will make some truffle oil and cooking Carbonara tomorrow night the authentic way with truffled eggs not cream and Guanciale not bacon which is sort of like Panchetta but more fatty.

all truffled out and cant wait till next yr

If anyone knows of any other food festivals plse post

Didn't it get washed out one year ? The annoying thing when I go to Port Macquarie is when you go to the actual co op to buy oysters they are from Harrington, not the local Hasting River ones.

When I go up that way I buy from an oyster farmer just before the last bridge heading into Sth west rocks on the last rd on left.. Awsome Oysters.. If you want a contact for a farmer @ Karuah I ring him 2 days before I'm going past and he gives me the Larger S Rocks and they are the best Ive ever had.. {In the shell} Open yourself with a nice Sav or beer..

Get me on that boat too! Ralphy still owes me beer cos SBW made a difference to the chooks last year and ralphy said he wouldn't. Ralphy then chucked a tantrum when he was banned, and was never heard from here again.

Mate sounds like you know your oysters, you gotta try the oysters from the front of the sydney fish markets, little thai lady sells them and shucks them when you order one. They are $12 each but literally the size of at least 6 normal oysters.

But, Mate I get 12 for $10 and they are as big as the palm of a turkeys hand... open them when I'm ready and wash them down with a beer/Sav blanc is heaven to me..

You will mature 1 day?

Not sure of an oyster place near Nelson Bay but there is a place on the highway near Raymond Terrace called Sandys seafood, avoid at all cost, thought it would be a good place to stop to break the trip between Port Macquarie and Sydney but it was only good if you wanted to eat deep fried grease.
I want to try Sage in Canberra now.

You need to hook up direct and stop buying crap from the middle man...

Overall I think the south coast produce the best Sydney rock oysters, the ones from Merimbula are just exquisite, northcoast the Nambucca ones are good.Got a very good deal last time when I was at the markets, bought some prawns and in the end didn't get charged for 2 dozens oysters, I really enjoyed those slippery little suckers that day
