The meal costed $525 per person (not including alcohol) with all the original wait staff and chefs from Fat Duck Bray, flown to Melbourne for 6 months. Not a bad gig!
Words and pictures will not suffice in truly capturing the wonder 5 hour experience we had, but I am still amazed every time I look at these photos of the culinary and gastronomical wonderment that Heston Blumenthal delivers.
I heart Fat Duck =)
 |
| Aerated beetroot. So little but packed with flavour! |
 |
| First experience of nitrogen balls! |
 |
| I got Gin & Tonic. Absolutely delicious!! |
 |
| Red Cabbage Gazpacho with Pommery Grain Mustard Ice Cream |
 |
| Savoury Lollies - Waldorf Rocket, Salmon Twister and Feast (pate). Served on a wooden board of course! |
 |
| Close up of the treats before I dig in... |
 |
| The pate was my favourite of course - check out the inside! |
 |
| Naturally I needed a bathroom break. They even have Fat Duck branded soap and hand lotion! |
 |
| Fat Duck films to put on our tongues to introduce the next experience |
 |
| Jelly of Quail, Marron Cream - Caviar sobet, oak moss and truffle toast |
 |
| Truffle Toast upclose |
 |
| Theatrics - supposed to smell like moss to accentuate our experience with the dish |
 |
| Snail Porridge - so inventive! |
 |
| Roast Marron - most delicious crustacean I've had! |
 |
| Now we go down the real rabbit hole... |
 |
| It's Tea but not as you know it! |
 |
| We each get to pick our own gold pocket watch |
 |
| Waiters putting the gold watch into our tea pots |
 |
| Watch it melt! |
 |
| Time to swirl it around so it makes a good soup base |
 |
| Gorgeous golden soup! |
 |
| Mad Hatter's Tea Party |
 |
| Don't know the fillings but of course, delicious! |
 |
| When you see seashells with ipod in there - you know you've reached sounds of the sea extravaganza |
 |
| So delicious! I had to take a shot of my finished plate |
 |
| Salmon poached in liquorice gel |
 |
| Gotta be my favourite - the salmon just melts like butter in your mouth. Most delicious salmon I've ever had in my life! |
 |
| Lamb with Cucumber |
 |
| Cucumber jelly sides |
 |
| The full meal - you scoop some jelly from the small cup and you apply it on the lamb to give it that lamb & mint experience |
 |
| Hot and Cold Lemon Tea. This photo does it no justice. It's literally hot on one side, cold on the other. And if you drink in the middle you get the hot and cold sensation all at once. Loved this one! |
 |
| Botrytis Cinerea - beautifully crafted dessert |
 |
| The wait staff approaches us with a piece of the puzzle each so we can put our piece onto the board in commemoration of Fat Duck's 6 months in melbourne |
 |
| English Breakfast - Heston style of course... |
 |
| After having dessert, I'm back to breakfast! |
 |
| Cooking up nitrogen scrambled eggs |
 |
| Egg Gelato on candied bacon strip and brioche - best way to start the day right? |
 |
| Our breakfast comes accompanied by marmalade |
 |
| Of course, the seal is candy and can be eaten |
 |
| Whiskey wine gums |
 |
| cutest little things |
 |
| So sad to be down to the last one... |
 |
| Breaking it all up with some quality JING tea |
 |
| Last one - Kid in a sweet shop |
 |
| The 4 items in the bag! |
 |
| nom nom |
 |
| And that's the last of it folks! |
Given the chance, I would go back to Fat Duck again
