  • BTC in J ex-MEL recommendations?

    Some options and questions from a BTC newbie. All opinions valued.

    The following options appeal to/interest me:

    1. Chicken in macadamia nut crust with bush tomato coulis, roast vegetables, and new potatoes

    2. Grilled beef in green peppercorn sauce with seasonal vegetables and gratin potatoes

    3. Pan-fried barramundi in native pepper sauce with sautéed vegetables and fettuccine

    4. Wok-fried rice with tender pieces of marinated chicken, egg, and spring onion
    Just a few questions:

    a. Any idea how the preparation of the chicken in macadamia nut crust dish is? I can't imagine what the nut crust is like. Is this something like chicken schnitzel in a tomato based sauce?

    b. Is the grilled beef a steak or beef slices?

    c. I note from this thread that the ex-SYD barramundi isn't very good. Is this due to the taste of the dish (black bean sauce) or how the barramundi is cooked in general?

    I imagine meat like fish and beef to be pretty hard to cook just right usually, so should I risk ordering either on a plane considering it is just reheated? I do like pasta dishes, so will be inclined to order the fish. I did read somewhere that SQ beef is ok though, but this might be ex-SIN specific?

    Essentially yes, sans tomato based sauce and cheese. Macadamia nut crust is analogous to a batter.

    I liked the barramundi ex-MEL the one time i tried it, though the fettuccine didn't taste great.
