18 Jul - Char Char Bull, Fremantle

We had a team lunch in Fremantle today, due to the team completing a task under budget. So it was decided to head to Char Char Bull in Fremantle. We had to keep to a limit but it was paid for by the company .. yay!

I ended up having two Iced Coffees. They were pretty good, quite sweet and with a large scoop of icecream in the middle.
For an entree, I went for the Porcini Risotto. Quite salty from the mushrooms, but very nice and quite filling. The rice was soft and more cooked which I liked. I think I got a little grit from the mushrooms but I only had it in one mouthful so not sure. I could've eaten this and walked out satisfied (in terms of fullness), but I had another dish coming! oh oh.

For main, I chose the braised lamb shank, served on mash potato in a marsala sauce. The lamb shank was nicely braised and tender, the sauce was rich and the mashed potato was smooth and buttery. The only let down was a little bit of plastic in my meal. I thought it was a bone when I had it in my mouth, but upon retrieval, it was clear plastic...


The verdict? Nice place, good service and the food was good. Only let down was the plastic in my food. But I wouldn't say no to going back!
