My girlfriend and I decided to go for a late dinner after our make up class in the city. She was craving for soft shell crab and I suggested Golden Fields. On arrival, we sat at the bar getting a full view of the kitchen and the bar.
We got to see the chefs prepare and then serve our food. It was exciting! haha The atmosphere was light with many conversations and little clinkers of cutlery on the crockery. It was nice.
Pink lemonade and fresh lemonade
To start off we had refreshing drinks!! Tangy and so what we needed. I loved the fresh crushed raspberry taste laced in my pink lemonade. It was just so refreshing.
Pickles
Pickles are a great way to start the meal and during hahaha if there was any left. The crunchy textures of the different vegetables and the sweet, vinegary taste just kicks the taste buds awake for the next dishes to come.
Moonlight flat Rusty Wire & Clair de Lune oysters
The oysters were so fresh!!! They were shucked to order and we witnessed it from where we were sitting. Creamy and succulent, I was wanting more! But resisted ordering more, because...
Grass fed Angus beef, kimchi puree, egg yolk, crudite
... the steak tartare came out and I was excited!! I love a good steak tartare, and love it more when I see different intakes of it. The steak is hand chopped by the chefs and the bits of crispy shallots and the kimchi puree flavour on the fresh wombok stem and cucumber makes a great 'deconstructed' salad. The dish is so fresh!!! We enjoyed the tartare a lot more mixing the rest of the kimchi puree on the side with a generous pinch of salt mixed into it. But wow!! I loved the crudites instead for the normal croutons as a big change.
New England lobster roll, hot buttered bun, cold poached crayfish, watercress and Kewpie
I have heard so many good things about this bun and it was a must to order!!! IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! I wish I could eat this in a bigger size!!! hahaha It was so tasty and the warm bun against the cold crayfish surprised my mouth!! It was very exciting to eat and we were in silent bliss savouring the bun!!
Crispy soft shell mud crab, fried egg aioli, scuds and holy basil
OMG!! This dish was so tasty!! I'm drooling remembering the taste!! The crunchy lightly spiced batter crab...YUM YUM YUM!@!!! The aioli..TASTY!! Together, it was a whole creamy, crunchy explosion in the mouth!
Twice cooked duck, steamed bread, vinegar and plum sauce
This dish blended into the background a little after the stars made an appearance (the lobster roll and the crab). However, crispy duck was delicious. I didn't enjoy the sauces to go with the duck much, but that was my opinion. It just didn't blend in with the bun and duck. I was hoping for a soy and chilli oil sauce.
Peanut butter parfait, salted caramel and soft chocolate
YUM!!! Can't go wrong with this flavour combination!! The textures were perfect and yum!!!!
So, I need to go back and enjoy the whole menu and eat the ones I had again!! You guys should too!! I think Golden Fields only takes bookings for more than 6 people. But I may be wrong..so for more detail, go to their website www.goldenfields.com.au
Andrew McConnell is such a master chef!! Golden Fields is definitely a winner!!!
