Dinner @ Tukka

Even though I have been in Australia for a long time, I have not tried the authentic australian cuisine yet. I guess I do not really interest in tasting crocodile, emu and kangaroo. However, Tao has always wanted to try that. We know Tukka @ West end is one of the best australian restuarant and we decided to give a try last sunday.

We have the native platter for entree. The berries are nice and sweet. Most of them I have never seen or tasted before.The nuts salad is very good . The platter has emu, crocodile and kangaroo meat cooked in different ways. I like the smoked emu the most. (I guess that because I always like smoked meat). The most delicious item is the traditional australian bread called damper. With different type of herbs , you can smell it once it is out of the kitchen. The three dips bring different taste of the bread. It isa must try item.


For the main, we have emu fan fillet and mushrooms cooked in 4 ways. The emu fillet is nicely cooked. For the mushroom, it is a interesting dish. I have not try mushroom mouse and pudding before. The taste is alright but I do feel a bit weird having mushroom mouse and pudding as main. I guess it will be better as entree or in the summer menu.

Overall, I like the platter the most. The damper is one of the best bread I have ever taste. I really wanna try to make one at home..hehe..
