One more comment before I go cook dinner - menu planning and cohesion is THE crucial stage in getting through the Instant Restaurant stage. So much of the cooking fails are a result of fucking this up. #MKR

In retrospect - that entire menu was racist. Scant knowledge of Asian cuisines, their individual qualities, regional specificities, ingredients. Slammed into a common Aussie protein & a traditional UK dessert they didn't even get right. #MKR

And before anyone arcs up at that keep in mind that I lived in Japan for 15 years. After immersion since childhood with Vietnamese cuisine. And studied extensively.

Don't even get me started that I did not see ANY kind of Asian seasoning at all in any of the dishes (aside from some fish sauce in the Nam Jim Jeaw - one presumes). It's not just about salt ffs.

Those numbers SHOULD hurt. In addition to a thorough whipping with a bamboo stick. #MKR

An ice cream sandwich with matcha bikkies, proper black sesame iceream and a dot of raspberry jam in the middle would have been a better "fusion" dish. And actually edible. #MKR

The winning move might have been to drop all the puddings on the floor first. #MKR

Yeah use the ice cream to totally dilute the custard flavour. #MKR

It's true what Man-Col said - they don't understand the cuisines - you need to know the rules before you can break the rules. #MKR

That is the whitest version of Black Sesame Ice Cream I've ever seen. Oh it's hit the floor anyway. #MKR

I love Black Sesame Ice Cream but bread pudding is arse. And baking fresh bread to make it - I can feel my Nana cursing them from beyond the earthly realm. #MKR

Yeah I was gonna let the lamb pass "because fusion"... since chicken or pork is more common and lamb only features in Indian or Middle Eastern dishes. But it is a popular Australian protein. #MKR

A small pickle of appropriate cuisine and some normal salad to relieve from the spicy sauce would have made more sense. #MKR
