The Point - Ballina, NSW, Australia

Today I woke up at 04:10 and fully awake decided to work on the blog rather than lay in bed and try to go back to sleep. This was the breakfast and lunch that followed. Not a bad way to start the day.

I'm all about trying out different styles of breakfast. I figured I'd try the Moroccan breakfast while I was in Australia. Makes total sense right?? Anyways, these are lamb meatballs in a tomato based sauce, beautiful and such a great way to start my jet-lagged morning off.

Some bread
The multigrain bread was amazing!

Fries or Chips
I'm a sucker for some good fries.

King Prawn with Green Papaya and Apple
The biggest difference between fresh seafood and seafood that's been shipped before it hits your table is the taste of the ocean. These king prawn had a salt water flavor to them making them so delicious with the flavor of the "bar-b." All of that paired with the slight sweet and sour from the apple and green papaya made this dish a perfect light lunch.

Cheers,

Those meatballs look amazing. There is not enough lamb dishes in the US cuisine. It is hard to find even a good gyro....which is what I am going to have to have for lunch to satisfy my lamb craving...

is that fancy butter, butter, and olive oil with the bread? i love the thought of choosing between three different types!
