After lunch at Red Emperor, we walked along Southbank which was crowded with people as they were having the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival. There were many participating winemakers who set up booths for wine tasting. This did not come free. One had to purchase a ticket costing $25 before being allowed to try the wines on offer. Rather reasonable I would say. However, we did not stay as we were on our way to the Melbourne International Motor Show held at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre.
On our way, we walked through Crown Hotel/Entertainment Complex to escape the scorching sun. It was a good move as there was an interesting photographic exhibition and gourmet experience displayed in the atrium byNew York photographer Melanie Dunea. She had gathered some of the world's finest chef and asked them, ‘What would you eat for your final meal?’ It was pretty interesting to read what the chefs had to say. Among them were Tetsuya, Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay, Neil Perry and Nobu. I couldn't help posing for a photo with Gordon Ramsay in the background. His show "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmare" is one of my current favourite minus the F*** word he loves uttering. Here's a photo of me and him.
Moving on, I couldn't resist getting my favourite durian ice cream from a Japanese food stall in Crown's food arcade. They make the best durian ice cream in Melbourne. Enough to satisfy my durian craving. Their sweet corn is delicious too.
