A Foodie Snapshot of our Port Mac Holiday

FFL (minus Rush and Jangers) recently took a break from life and everything with a trip up the coast to Port Macquarie. It was a fun filled week consisting beaching, cosmic bowling, putt putting, aqua golfing, monopoly (single and double), bop-it, shopping and of course, eating.

There was a little noodle shop on the outskirts of town that served a variety of noodle and rice dishes. Overall, the food was quite average but they had a kick arse Nasi Goreng which was a little on the greasy side but grease = flavour! It was so good that a few us went back there for our last meal in Port Mac.

Over near Flinders Beach was the Pasta Place (Palace?), a restaurant Ken had previously visited on one of his touch footy trips. A typical pizza and pasta place with the regulars.

Andy, with his on-going craving for pluto pups, couldn't resist temptation from the carnival which seems to visit Port Mac around this time of year.

After several days of eating take-out and hamburgers we were all craving a home cooked meal and some greens! For a quiet night in, we cooked some bangers and mash and had it with a massive green salad and prawns.

Bangers and mash - yeah! With prawns and salad

Following the success of the previous nights cook off, Patrick cooked us a seafood feast consisting of battered fish, salt and pepper calamari, oysters, blue swimmer crabs and another massive salad.

Early one morning while everyone was still asleep, Irene and Andy snuck off for a romantic breakfast for two. Awww...


Patrick loves his tea...

All in all, a fun but exhausting holiday with a great bunch of people - I love you guys!
