OVERPRICED FOOD PT 2

FD just posted about the overpriced lunch we had at Tyson's restaurant and I was like wow such coincidence!!! Because I just came back from dinner at Jamie Oliver's Italian restaurant at Wynyard and it was even more overpriced than the so-so viet stuff we had at Indochine.

It cost $58 for the three course Christmas meal special thing. Expensive af I know but my auntie was paying hehehehe. I was expecting so much because of the price and ITS JAMIE OLIVER but no it was such a let down...

There are no pictures because the lighting was so shitty.

Entree was this tasting platter thing with cheese and meats. It was ok but nothing special. My favourite was the buffalo mozzarella balls that tasted a little like string cheese just ball form. Everything was slathered in Jamie Oliver's signature olive oil.

Main was so so so so so so disappointing. I ordered some slow cooked chicken or some shit idk what it was. So dry and tasteless I swear they didn't even bother to salt it. There was no sauce with it only this potato mash kinda thing that wasn't made of potato. Everything was just bland af and they tried to hide the blandness with a shitload of green veggies. I hate veggies.

I tried other peoples mains and they were all better than mine. Cousin got this super yummy pork belly thing and my auntie ordered a so-so fish dish. I have really bad luck when I order things I swear. Will always remember when I got this alcoholic N2 sorbet and it was so bitter and nasty but Kylie liked it??

Dessert was not as bad. I ordered a trifle with meringue, custard, rosewater jelly and strawberries and it was pretty yummy. But again nothing special. I feel like it is something you could make with very little dollars.

This was my first time going to his restaurant it was not a good experience. Kylie says it is yummy tho. Maybe if you go don't get the Christmas banquet because the choices are pretty limited and nothing is spectacular.
