Pleased To Meet You


The great procrastinators that we are, we've successfully to post absolutely nothing since our first post in august last year. We have instead focused our attention to instagram.
As such, we have developed a huge backlog, and we are determined to start posting on our blog.


Lets start with our most recent trip to Pleased To Meet You on 38 Roe Street in Northbridge.
Having heard that PTMY was one of Clint Nolan's joints ( Harvest, La Choita), the expectations were high.
Despite the choice of seating at long communal tables or counter seats, PTMY is always pretty crowded. I can completely understand why, with the hipster setting, the friendly wait staff, the wide range of drinks and the amazing food.



An adorable place where even the wall tiles smile


For starters, we had the Watermelon Salad. With cubes of watermelon, cucumber and goats curd atop a bed of rocket and coriander, it was perfectly fresh and suited for hot summer nights. I loved the crunch of fried shallots as well. To be honest, i am not one for the bitter taste of coriander in my salad but my supper companions had no complaints. 


The ground rump burger that followed was lovely as well. Not out of this world amazing but a burger is always a good idea. Especially with buttery buttery bread, melted flowing cheese and them pickles.




200g of Roast Suckling Pig. Incredibly moist and juicy. So well done. I was a bit disappointed that our serving did not come with the chimichurri sauce though, but what a lovely sight for greedy eyes.


The best part of the meal, unanimously voted by my companions and i. The Pulled Pork Slider. The tangy pickled cabbage with the hint of spice from the pork was perfection. I foresee myself coming back and ordering this every week. Do yourself a favor and try it.

Smores. Because who can say no to toasted marshmellows. Which were lovely. Can't say it was the best dessert or particularly mindblowing, but nice way to end the night. 





We also had the tiki puka bowl, which our waitress said would be equivalent to 4 servings. More like 8 servings! Unfortunately, the taste of rum was quite subdued and you couldnt really taste the dark and light rum in there. But for $30 for 8 servings, you get what you pay for. Even if it is 8 mocktails. 8 pretty mocktails.
