Today we went to Auckland's newest food show Taste of Auckland with Darryl & Alistair. This was a showcase of Auckland's top restaurants and chefs with various tasting plates from each restaurant available to buy.
We sampled several dishes during the day including this wagyu short rib from dine by Peter Gordon. Our first experience of wagyu, but not our last of the day.
Logan Brown were special visitors for the day from Wellington, and a restaurant we hope to visit later in the year. The paua ravioli is one of their house specialities and lived up to its reputation.
This wonderful belly pork dish brought back happy memories of our meal at French Cafe with Mum & Dad nearly two years ago, and hopefully we will go back again sometime soon.
Also there were Appletons Rum, so we spent some time in a tasting session where we got to sample 4 different rums ranging from their standard rum right up to the $150 a bottle Master Blender's Legacy. We also sampled some of their yummy cocktails.
We bought some wagyu steak from the Neat Meat Company, who supply most of the top restuarants, and cooked for dinner when we got home. The most amazing steak with loads of flavour. A great day and an opportunity to eat at some of the best restaurants without paying the huge bill at the end!
