Last weekend was spent with the family at Mt Buller. The conditions weren't perfect - poor visibility, howling winds and lack of snow in places, but we all had a great time - in the pub mostly! The place we stayed was in a great location, but the service part of the facility needs a real shake up. It wasn't exactly service with a smile. A pound of butter would possess more social skills than the managers combined. They appeared burdened with the task of running a ski lodge.
Fortunately a bit more passion was put into the meals. The smoked salmon and avocado terrine was really tasty and nicely presented. The thai chicken curry rather confused me as it was served with a poppadom! It wasn't an authentic thai curry and it didn't taste as good as the one I cooked (see post from 30th July 2011). The dessert was the saving grace - dark chocolate pudding with fudge sauce. The meal on the second night consisted of crab cakes, rack of lamb (which was cooked to perfection) and sticky toffee pudding. Unfortunately the sweet taste the food left in my mouth wasn't enough to counterbalance the sour taste left by the management team.
