Christmas Day

After the massive Christmas eve dinner, we did absolutely nothing on Christmas Day.

We've honed in on James and Jackie's booking at the Intercontinental Hotel for the Christmas buffet.

In the past 13 months we've enjoyed three holiday buffets at good venues.  Today is best of show. The South Australian prawns are better than previous shrimp offerings.  The Sydney rock oysters are incredible.  The three best oysters in the world are Sydney rock, French Belon, and an oyster from north of San Francisco.  Others are good but these three are in a class by themselves.

The entrée offerings were special, particularly the seafood; oysters, mussels, prawns and sashimi tuna and avocado. 

 

The mains were a weakness but we didn't care. They were pedestrian and didn't warrant a photo. Between the seafood and salad starters and the marvelous desert bar life was good.

 

 

 

There was this reindeer ice sculpture and a cheese course.

 

 

Or maybe it was start to finish endless Mumm Champagne that provided an illusion of a good time; not!
