Saturday night was meant to be a nice steak dinner at the Pennant Hills Inn with Amila, Khris and Malisha but sports kind of ruined the whole thing. 

The cricket final between Sri Lanka and Australia was looming at 11pm and Mal was too busy preparing the house for a cricket party with the two tvs set up for watching what ended up being a losing battle (2 hours delayed due to rain too). There was also some kind of football game going on during dinner time which brought in the annoying/smoking/loud/obnoxious people at the pub so we definitely weren’t sticking around there. We ended up walking to Eastern City Chinese on Hillcrest Road (they also do daily yum-cha between 11-3 if anybodys interested). We didn’t take the camera unfortunately since we were walking and we’ve swapped the small camera for the big heavy one but here is what we had to eat:

• Pork Ribs with Chilli and Spicy Salt – yummmy
• Sizzling King Prawns – sizzled all over the place, a bit messy but also yum
• Beef with Satay Sauce – really nice although the cup of flame in the middle seemed a bit unnecessary
• All of this downed with chinese tea and a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc whose name i’ve forgotten…

If there was another person I would’ve recommended the Shredded Beef Peking Style that Annabelle ordered for dinner the other day. Its sweet but really nice if you get it fresh and hot.
