FINE-DINER SNACK

Oscar: “Attica’s Vegemite

scroll.”

Junda: “Oh so many! But

the pai tee or potatoes at

Sixpenny. And the roti with

Vegemite curry at Sunda.”

Jamie: “Analiese Gregory’s

chicken parfait in yeast

crisps at Franklin was

a snack I never got tired

of, so delicate yet crispy.

A textural delight.”

FAVOURITE CANAPÉ

Oscar: “Taramasalata and pita
or a kombu-seasoned chip.”
Junda: “Eggs and caviar.”
Jamie: “For a DIY canapé I can’t
go past the classic whipped
smoked trout and crème fraîche,
either with heaps of chives, or
wild fennel if you’re down for
a forage. Whack it on a cracker,
some focaccia or ultimately,
a disc of cucumber.”
