Bring On the Meat!!! An experience at Hurrican, Bondi~!

My high school friends and I have actually been talking about going to this place for ages, but for some reason, every break we had, we never seemed to be able to find the time to go here. When finally one holiday, we decided to go, but found out that it needed booking beforehand -_-"
When we got there, I could see exactly why we needed a booking on a Saturday night...because the night we went was a Tuesday night and it was completely packed!!!! Luckily we made a booking, because there was a line waiting outside and it didn't look like anyone was going to leave soon >.< The ambience was quite nice, the setting was somewhat stylish and modern, yet it didn't make you feel like you're in a high class restaurant and everyone seemed to feel extremely comfortable. The waiters and waitresses were very helpful and very positive in their attitude, most of them had a foreign accent (we suspected alot of them might be backpackers working part-time whilst their stay in Sydney), which I must say added to the experience. Where we sat we could see the chefs working hard in the kitchen, most of them looked African and that was a plus to the food, because there was definitely some African-like flavour in the ribs!

Now, onto the food! Most of us ordered different things and shared between two or three people:

The Caesar Salad was nice, but I'm going to be tough on it and say it wasn't anything extraordinary. I did find that it actually might have had too much mayonnaise on it for my personal liking, but I didn't mind the mayo too much. We shared this salad between four people, which I thought the portion per person was enough to be enjoyed as an entree.







There were 6 garlic prawns in this little hot pot, which were shared perfectly equally amongst three of us! As you bite into the prawn, you feel the "juice" being squeezed into your mouth and leaves a sensational taste on your tongue. The trick is to not put the whole thing into your mouth all at once, but to savour each and every big slowly. Well, that was how I liked to eat it anyway hehehe

And here is the main character for the night *drum roll*

PORK RIBS!!!

This was truly a shocking dish.... shocking firstly because of its size. When the waitress first brought it out, I nearly had my jaw dropped open! It was seriously massive!!! (As you can tell, even now I haven't gotten over it completely!) The fun really involved marvelling at it... then ripping each rib apart one by one. The first bite into the meat was absolutely sensational, the juiciness of the meat plus the unique taste of the sauce on top together on your tongue was a taste indescribable! After the first bite, you really cannot help but to keep going! Though I must say that I'm very glad that I shared the plate with two other friends, because after a while, it did get very very very filling!


We also tried the lamb, the lamb was quite nice too! Though I myself preferred the pork because the lamb was quite fatty and I felt quite guilty after eating it hahahahaa

It was a good night out! Though for uni students who don't have much money, I will just warn you in advance that the meal did cost around $30 per person, so save up and spend wisely ;)
