Melbourne Cup

Tuesday, 5 November, 2013

Today we head to Happy Valley Race Course to participate in the Melbourne Cup. We are a bit disappointed that there is no actual racing at Happy Valley. The guys who want to place a bet on the Cup, have to walk half way around the track.

An way, we get a nice private room in the Moon Koon restaurant. The main part eventually fills up too even though there is no racing. Popular place.

Menu, Very Impressive
The Wines
Imperial Appetiser – Bejing Duck on toast and Duck liver

Note that the spoon holding the duck liver, which I gave away, was edible.

Roasted Duck with Plum Sauce
Roast Duck, yum
Double-boiled Teal Soup
Stewed Duck Fillets with Lotus Seeds
Braised Pomelo Peel with mushrooms in duck sauce
Pan Fried Duck Dumplings
Chinese Petits Fours

All in all a great Duck meal, good wines and thoroughly enjoyable company. Probably the highlight of the trip.
