The Massive Crowd
Eight of Sydney's best restauants catered for this herd of people~I don't know how they managed but they did it wonderfully.
Please don't mind the blurry images, I did the best I could.

The scallop was bouncy in texture and pork crackle crispy. Oh what a wonderful combination when you place those two in your mouth at the same time!
Skewer of Serrano jamon, compressed rockmelon and nasturtium
I love jamon. *hugs the piggie* oh why are you so tasty? People were grabbing those babies by the doubles, triples and even quardruples! The fatty jamon and the refreshing rockmelon combo is sure a winner!

Sheeps milk labne, beetroot and mustard fruits in a filo tartlet
Omg I loved this canape so much that I stuffed myself with FOUR of them (shhh I know we're only meant to take one!) The rich and smoothness of the labne, the sweet and tangyness of the beetroot and mustard fruits filled in a flaky filo tartlet together is a work of art!

From the Events Kitchen - Head Chef David O'Brien
Braised Wagyu Beef Shin with crushed pea salsa
One of my favourite canape would be the Fig with ricotta and caramelised almonds however I couldn't get a nice clean shot of it. I hoped that I had a container with me and carry it with me so I could eat more of it at home.
Slosh all the food down with drinks :)
After stuffing myself for an hour, I left the Ivy Room full and very satisfied. I was so full that walking down Martin Place has never been so difficult for me.

That risotto looks delicious,
Did it have a rich parmesan flavour from sitting in the cheese wheel?
And that line was huge!
Must've had to be extremely patient :P
