This was the first SDP in a long, long time, and sadly, disappointing. Let's just say that the ice cream was the best part. Perhaps we should have taken warning from the name of the place where we got it - the Raw Prawn Bistro, part of O'Brien's Hotel in Narooma, NSW. It was listed on the menu as simply "Sticky Date".
The place was packed with people from all walks of life on a Tuesday night. The wait in the queue just to order was 45 minutes. Nicole made sure that we had a table by sitting at it (with her Jacob's Creek piccolo bottle of wine) while I waited in line. I was fortunately kept amused by the conversations around me, the pick of which was this little exchange:
Woman 1: "Yeah, ya know, I've always wanted to go to New Zealand, but haven't got around to it"
Woman 2: "You should go, it's great"
Woman 1: "Well, we have a unit in Auckland, so if we do go, it would be a tax write-off"
Anyway, back to the pudding. The texture was quite soggy. That's really all I can remember, I waited too long to write the review! It was also possibly influenced by the fact that we were quite full after our seafood platter for two which was mostly deep fried. The fresh oysters were good though. And importantly, not a raw prawn in sight.

It's true, it has been too long to remember, except that it wasn't good. Soggy. I think there might have been a strawberry, that could have been good. Lacking in fruit, texture, flavor. More or less, disappointing all around.
