We did eventually make it to Piccolo in North Hobart. You can see the pictures here.
Things have been a bit quiet in the last two weeks as I have been in Melbourne. You can see those pictures here. There were a couple of highlights:
- Mezzo Bar and Grill (formerly Oyster Little Bourke) was nothing short of brilliance. Go there. Now.
- Proud Mary in Collingwood really does make the best coffee I have had in a very long time
- Camp Shanghai Dumpling is still as ridiculous as it ever was, and next time I will go to Hutong.
- The Ron Mueck exhibition at the NGV International is stunning, and worth a trip from Hobart for it. It runs until April.
- A perfect souflee
- Bahn-mi
- Baked eggs
- Salt cod croquettas
- Stingray Seafoods in North Hobart is currently under renovation and will soon become Mako Seafoods. I'm rather hoping this is a dramatic improvement.
- Tom from Piccallily is heading off to Gordon Ramsay's new venture, Maze, in Melbourne. Piccallily are looking for a suitably talented replacement, and I'm sure Tom leaves big shoes to fill.
- Rumour has it that the old Dress Sense store in North Hobart is about to become an ice-cream shop, probably part of the Cold Rock chain. A funny time of year the start consruction on an ice-cream shop, but it's just a rumour and I can neither confirm of deny.

I would have waited 15 to 20 mins max then gotten outta there.
I hope he had a good excuse or was, ahem, worth the wait so to speak!
Next time start jotting down notes & when the waiter comes up & enquires about your dining partnet etc just say:
"You'll read about it in my review"
Christina, Piccolo was lovely, like always. My fave at the moment.
Lucy: Awesome!
Cumper: Don't be cheeky. :)
Hmm... next time. We make our own dumplings. Camy is a big NO NO. Catch up then :) Actually, save your tummy for dumplings delight in China. None here is good enough cept those that are home made from scratch.
