Spice level warning — Lamington is not what I expected
I underestimated Lamington. The subtly sweet with native fruits description didn't prepare me for the reality. barramundi brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.
Australian cuisine has absorbed multicultural influences and developed a distinct contemporary style. The a backyard barbie setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. Sauvignon Blanc cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
