Smashing Smashed Avo!

What’s for tea?

Kangaeroo was extremely fortunate to get to pig out on Aussie food while surrounded by kangaroos and koalas, all in the east of Tokyo!

Restaurant Ensemble on the second floor of Tokyo East Side Hotel Kaie has been holding an Oceanian Cuisine Fair as part of its World Buffet Dinner series since April 1, 2022, and it will draw to a close on June 30, 2022.

The food was fantastic, featuring such menu items as smashed avo, baked whitehead, roast lamb with rosemary sauce, fish & chips, whitebait fritters and chicken parma, all available in unlimited quantities.

Desserts were also exquisite, highlighted by the appearance of lamingtons.

The lammies were delicious, but perhaps not quite the taste of Australia.

They were more like coconut-covered brownies than the sponge cake and jam filled Australian staples, but delicious nonetheless.

Ensemble was also wonderfully decked out in lots of Australian and New Zealand-themed decorations and flags, adding to the flavor.

There was also some facts and figures about kangaroos for the kids who visit.

Thoroughly good time and an absolute delight!

The next theme in the series will be Thailand and Vietnamese cuisine, starting from July 1, 2022.
