For my twenty-first I decided to have my birthday celebrations at Quay. I invited a small number of friends (as far as my budget could stretched) and we dined at Quay on a beautiful cloudless Saturday night.
We ordered the four course dinner menu instead of the seven course tasting menu, but since every one shared their dishes, it was pretty much degustation anyways.
To start with we had various cocktails:
The menu
Amuse Bouche. I think this was tuna sashimi and something.. it was SO good
Course One: Seapearls, Sashimi tuna, sea scallop, crab, green lip abalone, octopus. One of these had edible gold leaf on top too :O
Entrees:
Gentle braise of pearl oyster, shaved southern squid, lettuce hearts, golden tapioca, lobster velvet, pea flower
Patridge entree.. I think this was a special so its not on the normal menu
Slow braised pig cheek, ginger milk curd, fresh palm heart, green lipped abalone, Tasmanian wakame & chestnut mushroom consommé. Wow. WOW. Can I just say that this dish blew me away.. it was THAT good. This is the one dish that I say you just HAVE to order to get the whole experience
Squid Entree.. Also a special, cant see it on the menu anymore.
Course 3
Course 4
8 textured chocolate cake
Highly recommended :) I had an awesome birthday and an awesome time.
