Tram car restaurant

Hubby’s birthday is coming soon (Wednesday), due to it being a week day, we decided to celebrate his birthday earlier. My old man turns older .. hehe.. it surely is a big event for young and sexy wife ;-p I booked the tram car restaurant in September and guess what, I was told that all Saturday nights are fully booked until December !!! Ridiculous!! I have no choice but to book in for a Sunday night dinner.

The tramcar was very cool, an old style luxury carriage. I loved the fact that we could travel around the city while we were enjoying good food. The food itself was good, not many choices but good quality. Steve and me loved the sticky date pudding!! Ohh.. sooo good !! Forgive me for the blurry pictures; it was very hard to take good pictures while the tram was moving.

We had roasted red capsicum dip and a lovely pate for the appetizer. They were so good. Steve in particular really enjoyed the crisp bread that they served along with the dip.

For entrée, I had smoked salmon and avocado mousse whereas Steve had grilled kangaroo loin. The smoked salmon was beautiful, whereas the grilled kangaroo loin was a bit average but the sauce that came with the kangaroo was flavorful.

For the main course, we both had prime eye fillet of beef resting on a potato and herb rosti, accompanied by seasonal vegetables, onion marmalade and rich beef jus. We both were a bit disappointed with this dish, the sauce was a bit too mild.

Hehe.. now the desert and the cheese. Loved the cheeses and the Sticky date pudding. They were absolutely beautiful.

Overall, the whole experience was enjoyable, the only set back was because the alcohol is included in the price, people tended to get very drunk and loud towards the end of the journey. Well, it wasn’t as romantic as we both initially thought, but we both enjoyed the whole experience. So a gentle reminder to those who want to go, please make sure you drink a lot and get drunk, because it can be quite annoying when you are the only sober one in the tram ;-)))

Last but not least, I want to say happy birthday to my old man ;-) Love you forever, my big baby. Thanks for always being so supportive and understanding .
