Pinbone, Woollahra (2 August 2015) - Last Supper
Tuesday, August 04, 2015If there exists a food obituary, then this is it. Pinbone shuts shop. The Sydney food scene will rapidly fall from grace.
A last visit has five of us - well suited given my need for a broad sample set. After a 90 min run, 35 min wait I can only distract myself with pretty coffee art.
Finally the first dish is served. Creamed corn fregola - a chef signature of legendary reputation.
Fregola, creamed corn, poached egg - $18 |
I taste sweet corn in rough, congee-like stew. Beyond my comprehension and my only critique is it is ridiculously tasty. 9/10.
Next up is my personal pet dish, pumpkin congee.
Malted brown rice congee with mushroom, pumpkin and a poached egg - $18 |
Looks small but remarkably, my stomach is well lined. 9/10.
Prawn and egg white omelette - the fine diner's choice. Add the bread, even if you are a Coeliac.
Egg white omlette with prawns, pork floss and chilli - $18 |
Bubble & squeak ... I have to google what this is...
Bubble & Squeak with a fried egg - $16 |
Baked beans on toast. I mentally disown my sister for such a rookie choice. She's better off visiting the IKEA food court.
Baked beans with spicy tomato sauce and fried eggs on toast - $18 |
This is the modern-day Jack and the Beanstalk situation - I'd happily sacrifice a cow for these beans. Note how chunky, caramelised sauce magically hugs each bean like a mother clutches onto her newborn. Breathtaking.
The chef's are not shy with spice shakers - I taste cumin and chili. Executed perfectly, but boring. 8/10.
