Following a fun day out at Ocean Park, we went to Dot Cod to enjoy a lovely meal! The bread basket starts off the evening and l enjoyed the bread stick and the thin cracker, they go well with the tasty green paste! Oysters are next and we picked the Kusshi, Penn Cove and Coffin Bay. The Coffin Bay was the best of the three and its minerality really stands out!Since Dot Cod don't charge corkage on Monday and Tuesday, I brought along the Chateau De Fesles Chenin Sec Anjou 2004 and Peller Estates L

Since Dot Cod don't charge corkage on Monday and Tuesday, I brought along the Chateau De Fesles Chenin Sec Anjou 2004 and Peller Estates Late Harvest Vidal 1997 for our dinner. It's my first time to try this Chenin Blanc, it's interesting but I expect more acidity from it, not the best match with the oysters and the fish but it went well with them.
For main course, the pan fried Barramundi was cooked to perfection, fish is the signature of the house and I wasn't disappointed! Lamb Chops were fine too but I prefer more lamb taste from it!
For Dessert, I couldn't resist ordering the Bread & Butter Pudding, let's see if it could remind me of the good old UK! But to my disappointment, it didn't do very well, the toast on top was not dry enough, it's a bit soggy and same for the pudding at the bottom. The custard tastes fine but I prefer a sweeter taste, oh well, it's hard to find the good old taste I guess! The late harvest Vidal did do us fine, the honey and nutty flavour was balanced by good acidity, we really enjoyed it and finished the whole 200ml quite quickly, haha!
And finally 2 Chocolates from the House, Mint and Dark Chocolates! Sweet! ^____^
