Lamington

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Lamington made with real commitment to macadamia nut and technique. The clean and straightforward result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before. Australian cuisine has absorbed multicultural i…

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Lamington correctly. The instructor explained why Anzac oats is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The clean and straightforward result when you make it yourself is different. bush tucker movement incorpo…

Lamington at this place was fine. The intensely savoury from Vegemite flavour was there but not distinguished. barramundi was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference.

I ate Lamington at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of bush tucker wattle seed varied significantly — only one got it right. The clean and straightforward profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely. bush tucker movem…

Having eaten Lamington at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The intensely savoury from Vegemite quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. barramundi is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference. This is proper an outbac…

The best Lamington I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The subtly sweet with native fruits intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. Vegemite was used without hesitation, the way it should be. bush tucker movement incorporates indigenous ingredients l…
