seeing pink

Tonight, Malc & I went to see the documentary Lagerfeld Confidential, which was part of the French Film Festival. The movie did not really live up to the hype for us, so we needed something to give our evening a lift.

Walking back from the cinema on Oxford Street, we passed by Pink Peppercorn Laoitian Cuisine (122 Oxford Street, Paddington NSW ph 02 9360 9922), one of the first restaurants we went to when we moved to Sydney. We enjoyed our first visit and decided it was high time to give it another try, and the food was as good as ever.

We had Yaam Ping Ngua, char-grilled beef tenderloin. This was my favourite, the beef was so tender and the spicing was wonderfully subtle and clean. The charing also gave the meat a light sweet flavour.


We also had Gaeng Phet Paa, perch fillet in lemongrass curry. This was Malc's favourite. The lemongrass flavour was pleasantly understated and the spice gave the palate a mellow burn.

Malc enjoyed the Pink Peppercorn very much and even quipped "good food is a great pleasure."
