We helped Jon Simpson to enter his sixtieth year with a lovely meal in Surry Hills at a small place called bisTRODE. Sampled a Slippery Jack mushroom for the first time (so-so), excellent Hapuka (which looks a lot less aggressive seared on a bed of Jerusalem artichokes than it does in the water ... spiky dorsal fins and all) and rhubarb crumble and custard to die for. There was a French red wine that caused a bit of a stir as it went down ... well, it has to be said. Lovely evening. Excellent restaurant.
Happy birthday too, Mr Buchanan.
