LIBERTE ALBANY // delicious Pink Galah cocktail and more from @libertealbany - this has been on my to-eat-list for years and glad to have finally ticked it off the list. Love the old world charm and decor of the place. Albany rock oysters were fresh and the Akoya Rockefeller oysters were the dish of the day. Menu on @perthfoodmenu or click #PFR_Liberte What we had: - Albany rock oysters, yuzu and lemongrass vinaigrette $24 (gifted) - Akoya Rockefeller: akoya baked with Pernod cream, Cavolo Nero, garlic, Gruyère, parsley crumb $32 (gifted) - Garlic Chilli crab noodles aka crack noodles $28 - Marron and Pork Banh Xeo: crispy filled crepe with local marron, pork belly, spring onion, bean sprouts, Nuoc Cham for dipping $36 - Profiteroles, Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream, Chocolate ganache, hazelnut, pistachio $16 - Pink Galah cocktail $16 - Ho Chi Minh Iced Tea cocktail $22 The Akoya oysters were baked in Pernod cream and coated in garlicky crumb - this cheesy and crusty deliciousness sat atop a crispy Cavolo Nero (kale). Yummy with a fresh squeeze of lemon. First time trying oysters raw and they were very fresh, creamy and not fishy at all. They smell of the ocean and the yuzu and lemongrass vinaigrette pairing was appetising. Very nice with their best-selling Pink Galah cocktail which was yum - hint of sour notes and sweetness. Could easily drink three of the Pink Galah cocktails in one sitting. Garlic chilli crab noodles aka crack noodles were flavoursome (think tangy, sour and spicy flavours) but we couldn’t find much crab on the dish - more crab would definitely have made it more crack. The banh xeo was crispy but again we couldn’t find much pork or marron which was a shame. Ended with their profiterole desserts which was Vietnamese coffee ice cream sandwiched between deep-fried profiterole - very strong coffee flavour which kept us awake throughout the drive back to Perth. Thank you so much Anthea @akoya_adventures @leeuwincoast for organising the complimentary oysters for us to sample. Glad to support a local Albany business and see different renditions of Akoya oysters offered across the state. #LiberteAlbany #Albany #Oysters #PFR_Douth PFRinAlbany (at Liberte) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca_svirvmpS/?utm_medium=tumblr
