An easter lunch! at Pony's restaurant, The Rocks Sydney

Herro lovelies!

So this tuesday, strolled into Pony's @ The Rocks for a long awaited lunch with three foodie friends

We got the ladies lunch - $55 pp, there's a gentleman's lunch too
Be warned, you need minimum two people both ordering the same lunch, cos you share each course, so you need even numbers to do the set lunch!

I don't usually like oysters but... so fresh! rock oysters
Fresh seafood
Lip smackin good
(oysters, did you know, get you in the mood)

green spinach gnocci and sour cream, Pony's modern australian dining @ The Rocks, Sydney
weird slug-like green spinach gnocci, we did a good amount of ladylike complaining about how it was impossible to take a pretty photo of haha but once you have a bite it's surprisingly tasty and soft, but not too soft it holds its own. and the smell of pine nuts mmm and a dollop of superfun cream that you swirl in with your fork

dessert degustation platter, creme brulee, rich chocolate brownie, pistachio biscotti berry trifle vanilla bean icecream at Pony's modern australian dining @ The Rocks, Sydney
The perfect finish to our long weekend lunch

Pony's chef's degustation dessert platter for the ladies - vanilla icecream sucks but these saucers of vanilla bean icecream were something else, gorgeous...! plus super rich deep dark chocolatey mousse brownies, crunchy pistachio biscotti, crispy-sugar-glazed creme brulee with rich eggy cream below, and raspberry fig and roasted almond flake trifle, with brandy-soaked sponge. Mmmmmmmm!


Ladies lunch @ Pony's also included:
Random mixed leaf salads, a fragrant roasted squid salad w/ pine nuts, epic flaky beetroot tart with thin blanket of goats cheese, and something else, I remember it had to do with asparagus, I forget what.

Ps. the lunch offers perfect portions for ladies! cos we left feeling perfectly full. except for betty who was obviously still hungry cos she was keen to get drunken hot cross buns, and Baroque bistro macarons and who knows what else haha

Hurrah, love holidays and long weekends

Hope you all had a good easter =)

Oh, apparently chocolate and strawberries get you in the mood too. ;D

Interesting gnocchi. Why is it black of the top? Is it caramelisation or some kind of spinach mixture where they get black spinach (is there such thing?) on the top and green on the bottom? Or is my mind too crazy to comprehend?

The dessert platter looks awesome. Looking at it makes me want to devour the picture. But I'll have to settle for homemade chicken soup instead. My pocket isn't as money-gifted as yours. :(

Keep updating lovely pictures~
