Eliss finally brought me to the fantastic dinner of mussels, which she had raved about since the day I arrived in Sydney.
The mussels were steamed to perfection in a light, cream based broth, flavoured with white wine and garnished with bacon strips. Simply beautiful.
I also tried Belle-Vue Kriek the first time in my life. The lambic-style Belgian beer is fermented with Morello cherries, and thus its red colour and sweet taste.
Taste like Ribena, if you ask me.
I wouldn't blame you if you say this coffee taste a bit like shit.
And they cost $50 a cup! What a rip off!
They are so expensive because the rare Kopi Luwak beans that make the expensive brew are retrieved from the droppings of the Luwak, a cat-like member of the civet family which is found in the jungles of Indonesia. The beans are then washed and given only a light roast so as to not destroy the complex flavours - cost $1250/kg!
You can have a sip of the most expensive coffee in the world at Hervey's Range Heritage Tea Rooms, located at the top of the Hervey Range, west of Townsville.
