We love it when our friends win raffle prizes and ask us along as their guest!
In this case it was a fabulous Cocktail and Dumpling class at Honkas - Bar + Eats in Potts Point. A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon creating a Lychee Martini followed by the House Special of a PoPo Trio - Gin, Sake, Cucumber - with other cocktail-making virgins. After you have made a tray of dumplings you get to relax in the courtyard with a wine or two whilst the kitchen cooks-up your creations three ways: steamed, fried or deep-fried. They all turned out super-yummy even if some of ours looked a little wonky!
To finish off a great afternoon we popped into Dulcie's Kings Cross for one of their infamous historical Sunday short talks about Big Jim Anderson - one of the many colourful and unsavory characters that formerly ruled the precinct. Duncan McNab - former cop and now journalist and writer - enjoyed a banter with Dulcie’s Co-owner Brandon Martignago on the Dulcie's stage whilst the staff plied us with cocktails and cheeseboards.
We were home by 9pm and feeling even more in love with our ‘hood than ever. AND we got to use our Dine and Discover and Discover NSW vouchers! It's a win/win in Sydney these days in terms of going-out costs.
You can book a class at Honkas on ClassBento. The Sunday short talks at Dulcie’s are a monthly event - keep an eye on their socials for details.
