Day 83
I ran my first 9KM race and timed 57 minutes! I'm extremely pleased with my time as I actually thought it was going to take me around an hour and a half to finish! I probably could have achieved a lower time if I had known that the finishing line was so close... I actually didn't start sprinting until I was about 400 metres from the end.
After the race, my sister, Khiem and I refueled at the Devon cafe in Surry Hills. We were seated under artificial lighting on a communal table. Boo.
I started with an oreo cronut which was filled with a chocolate custard. I wouldn't get this (or any other cronut in general) again - only because I think I just don't enjoy cronuts and would very much prefer to save my stomach space for something else. $9.
My main was the "Aphrodite's bowl" which was a warm rice pudding with rose, pistachio, fig jam and freeze dried fruits. It was sweet and creamy however the rich flavour made the last few bites a bit difficult to down. $15.
I paired my meal with their specialty matcha latte - on soy, of course, and well, for a specialty drink... It wasn't that special. The flavour was mild with no attractive zing to it. $4.
My sister (top dish) ordered the 'Breakfast with the Sakuma's": miso grilled king salmon, smoked eel croquette, 63' egg, radish petit salad and kewpi mayonnaise. $25.
To the left was Khiem's dish - "lamb sandwich": slow cooked lamb, garlic confit, cheese, roasted capsicum, spinach, aioli with chips. $20.
They ordered cold press juices in which i've forgotton the flavours. $8 each.
Would I come here again? Maybe not.
