The pork belly was more shredded into the salad...no crackling which was sad.<br /><br />Gastronomy Gal - The staff were worth their weight in gold. Hope it's as easy next year!<br /><br />Ellie - thanks for your comment! The crab was lovely, but the prawns remain my favourite!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11907743046211723083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085429884053920414.post-80469948653416378652010-12-20T09:13:35.341+11:002010-12-20T09:13:35.341+11:00The soft shell crabs look great!

Try the tiger prawns...so yummy.<br /><br />John - they do this function menu for groups of 4 or more, but it doesn't hurt to ask if they'll do it for two. You can buy all of the dishes separately anyway and mix and match your own grazing menu.<br /><br />Hi Susan - I'm lucky my team didn't mind me taking photos for my blog.<br /><br />Shawn - we'll come with you!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11907743046211723083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085429884053920414.post-49928052916215878312010-12-17T23:28:13.842+11:002010-12-17T23:28:13.842+11:00Always wanted to try this place - hum!Always wanted to try this place - hum!Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07175426309170881777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085429884053920414.post-45908369549439221382010-12-17T23:05:38.644+11:002010-12-17T23:05:38.644+11:00Food looks great :) I love how you have incorporat...Food looks great :) I love how you have incorporated a new food review with your work Xmas lunch.

I'll have to come up with something even better next year!<br /><br />Hi Gaby - I think Rubyos is worth a visit for a special occasion. The staff are really great and the food yummy. I like that it's something a bit more fancy in Newtown, where there are so many cheap cheap eats.<br /><br />Hi Tammi - I would go back and just order a few things off the menu (tiger prawns for sure), and not have a banquet. That said if you're going with group of 4 or more a banquet is good value as some of the items are about $20 each anyway.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11907743046211723083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085429884053920414.post-20418004536602518622010-12-17T12:34:55.045+11:002010-12-17T12:34:55.045+11:00Ooh looks good!!
