I booked a late lunch today at the much raved about (and heavily reviewed) Rice Paper Scissors. Last year we tried for dinner there but with no bookings and a “we will text you when a table is available” dinner approach it didn’t really work in between comedy shows. Also, we are way too impatient for that sort of “popular eatery” shit. This time I booked lunch (hooray – a booking system exists for lunch) and we went for the 5 dishes for $59 shared option http://ricepaperscissors.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/SS-RPS_Menu_148x297_CITY_221117-draft.pdf
With a shellfish allergy I always have to be careful in Asian restaurants (we got one fish dish just for B and the rest was shareable) and we rated our first 4 meat based choices as excellent, with the crispy barramundi coming in as a bit “meh” compared to the rest.
Tonight was the last night of the comedy festival. Booooo! We came quite late this year because of when school holidays fell so hopefully next year we can come a bit earlier. It was also our most expensive comedy show ($45 a ticket) in the form of Wil Anderson and his show “Willegal” about his unplanned adventures with the law last year. We were in the front row which was initially very worrying but because this show was unlike his others and more narrative focused, there was very little crowd interaction.
After Wil Anderson it was dumplings for dinner at my favourite “no interaction with wait staff” restaurant China Red and then bed time before a big day tomorrow.
Tomorrow – PENGUIN PARADE AT PHILLIP ISLAND! Then home.
