Home-made sushi

For the last two Sundays, we have picked up some fresh fish at Paddy's Market when doing our vegetable shopping, and made sushi for dinner. Today I also got some tiny scallops on the half shell - only $2 for 6! So Kate steamed these, I made sushi, and we had a little feast at home for less than $15!








Not bad!

El Phoenician

328 Church Street Parramatta - Lebanese/Mediterranean

What a fun night. Four of us went here last night for a catch up dinner. The food was great, the service was friendly, efficient and not pushy. It is not a bargain, but the food was good quality and good sized portions.  Oh, and they have belly dancers - including a male dancer!


Three kinds of dips... chickpea, yoghurt and eggplant based.


Tabbouleh and salad

A combination platter for two including seafood, lamb, chicken and fruits. The salt and pepper squid looked heavy, but was divine - thick and tender, and the batter (which looks too thick) was fabulous.
Lamb shish - the stand out dish.
Some prawns hiding on the combo platter
The chicken shish.

Our friend was also dragged up to dance with a belly dancer - but I thought I should preserve his dignity and not show the pics... oh what the hell.


Is she staring at his belly shake? Whatever it was it captured her attention!
