Yering Station 2008 Chardonnay, Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia. Just drank this same vintage at Yering Station recently myself - this bottle had more of a toasted muesli and honeysuckle, lemony note. Quite light bodied, refreshing. Liked it better than the above sparkling brut, also from the same Australian Yarra Valley region and both are more towards a French style..
Gratinated White and Green Asparagus, Soft Poached Farm Egg, Hollandaise Sauce. $198 -Nicely done, the Gratinated Hollandaise sauce has a lemon scent to it with a slight sourness, which is how it should be. White asparagus were of the thicker girthed types from Holland and very sweet. With a flowing egg on top to help it all. Great dish. ~ 7/10
.
White Asparagus Risotto with Sauteed Chili Prawns - $288A bit too peppery today. The prawns were done well. The Risotto was also cooked creamy and al dente, mixed with chunks of asparagus and carrots ~ 6.9/10

Prosciutto Ham, Potatoes, White Asparagus - Our dining companion is from Germany and said this combination together with Hollandaise sauce, is a common food item back at home. The combination of the flavours worked very well indeed. The trick is to eat them all in 1 single bite! Really loved this dish. ~ 8/10

The side of Tenderloin, Medium Rare. With a Chimichurri type of buttery herbed sauce. For a tenderloin, it has decent beef flavour..
Dreyers Ice Cream.Available on the weekdays. Haagen Dazs is only available on the weekends.

Pool Side -Some of the White Asparagus dishes were done quite well and will only last until end of May 2010. I thought some of the dishes were a little over-priced and the buffet is missing a few more attractive items to draw the crowd in! When there's a will, there's a way. The White Asparagus menu in season was quite good in contrast. But their normal buffet items do seem a little lacking in choices for now.
