Farewell Sugar Hit 2008
I love how the lounge bar of The Westin is laid out; we always get a table on the “outside”, where I personally love the whole feeling of “a building inside a building” (quoting Sam, as he’s pretty much hit the nail on the head with that description) – looking up at the soaring skylight framed by the rough sandstone walls and high arches never ceases to make me wonder what and how the GPO was like back in its heyday.
Berry and Quinoa Trifle with Oat Almond Filo Pastry Roll and Pistachio Custard
I had forgotten what the dessert was and when I first saw the dish being brought out, I got excited about the scoop of ice cream on top of the trifle. My disappointment was thick as my spoon cut through what I realised now was not ice cream, but in fact something like marshmallow in texture. Despite my initial disappointment, I quite liked the sweetness of the dessert and took turns alternating nibbles between the fairy floss and the filo pastry roll. Would have to say though, the filo pastry roll was the highlight of the dessert; perhaps it was because you get this burst of oat-y, almond flavour as you sink your teeth in the crunchy roll.
This was the last Sugar Hit we went to for Good Food Month and while there were a couple of slight disappointments, it was overall quite a fun and tasty experience. It’ll be interesting to see what the (and eat) Sugar Hits will be like next year!
