cutler & co

went to Cutler & Co. for dinner yesterday. finally after nearly 2 months of trying to get a table there. the waitlist for the restaurant is seriously looooonnnnnng. so yes, we excitedly went to the place that had a rating of 18/20 from The Age to try it out for ourselves.

 

  

  

had a fantastic wine from the South France region 2005 Colombier Crozes something something..

  

  

  

three types of oysters -  Kumoto the small one which had a more salty taste, En Surface, the mid sized one which was a little sweet but quite neutral tasting and the awesomelicious Angassi, the huge one, which was soooo sweet and yummy

verdict? lived up to expectations indeed. service was EXCELLENT and food was very nice as well. ambience was fairly relaxed and notedly less formal than other fine dining restaurants. but definitely a must try!

7.5/10

Talk about being tight!

It is reported that budget carrier, Ryanair, is in talks with Boeing about adapting its aircraft so that some passengers could be placed in "vertical seating" – i.e. you stand throughout your flight. WTF?

Can you imagine how it would be like taking off and landing? Taking off is less of a problem I think. But landing??? People would seriously topple over. Maybe they would have "stand-belts". Hmm.

And get this, it has also recently suggested that heavy passengers pay a "fat tax" and travellers pay to use its on-board toilets. The "fat tax" perhaps has some argument, but toilets – hello? I'd pee outta the window or into a tin can if I could but unfortunately, I believe toilets should be a basic right to provide.

Money hungry grubbers. Pfft!

A furry protest

How funny is this...

Apparently a group of protestors from PETA have staged a protest outside the Alannah Hill store in Chapel St against the use of fur. Hmm, not sure if AH uses real fur but I doubt it…


Anyways, lucky I haven't bought anything from AH that has fur!
