Sunday night Noel and I headed into town for a belated dinner for my birthday. I've wanted to go on the
We travelled to St Kilda and back.
Champagne time!
I may or may not have had a couple (or three)!
The meal was delicious. I had the beef. There was sirloin steak and beef cheek. I've never had beef cheek before
and it was so tender. I've seen it on the cooking shows. Maybe I'll give it a try cooking it myself one day.
Noel had the chicken which was very unusual as he would never normally choose chicken over beef. The sound of the broad beans was what got him.
We both had the vanilla bean panacotta with poached pear. I'd also never had pannacotta before and I loved it. We finished off the meal with coffee and Cointreau. Once again a first for me. I now have a new favourite drink!
Then we headed to the Melbourne Star Wheel.
We were lucky and had a pod to ourselves.
At the top of the wheel.
We timed it really well for still having a little light
to see the land marks but still able to see
all the lights on the buildings.
Heading back to the train station (yes, we even caught the train into town for something different), we walked through Harbor Town and saw this cute Smurf display.
I remember collecting Smurfs when I was very young.
Noel found a new friend!
We had such a wonderful night.
I can highly recommend the Tram Car Restaurant.
