Oktoberfest at the Lowenbrau - The Rocks, Sydney Date: 20th of October, 2007 Type: Chicken With: veggies, mash and mayonnaisey stuff
This was possibly the worst schnitzel I've had. I will say, in their defence, that they were being mass produced for this occasion because the chicken inside was uber-processed and the coating was more of a batter than a crumb. The mash was fairly good though and I did get to play a small cowbell.
I must admit, the point of eating this meal was more to make sure that the extreme volumes of beer weren't going down onto an empty stomach (an action that my body appreciated greatly the next day).
Strawberry Hills Hotel, Surry Hills, NSWDate: 19th October 2007 Type: Chicken Price: $5 With: Mash and green
You can't really go wrong with something that's $5 (unless you're eating dinner at the Landsdowne)... yeah, i figured that even if I ate 3 mouthfuls I'd still be fine with the amount I spent.
Not worth anymore than $5 though, but if i was strapped for cash, this is where i'd head. (Sorry about the shite photo, it was at this moment that i realised that my camera in my phone had no flash - and the lighting was turned down in the pub so you couldnt tell that those steaks you were eating were actually made from compressed dog food (possibly))
White Cockatoo Hotel, Terminus St, Petersham Ah, these specimens were seen on a Campbell family jaunt to the White Cockatoo (where they also won the trivia night and won a handsome $40 voucher for the bottle shop). A loverly time was had by all and schnitzel was eat for lunch for the rest of the week. I can't even look at these schnitzels without feeling slightly ill.
Basically, I have to advice you to check this place out if you haven't already. And make sure to own up if you have to have a post-schnitzel spew.
PetershamRSL, Petersham, NSW Date: sometime in September Price: about $13 with member discount Type: Chicken With: veggies and pepper sauce
Well.... apart from the vegetables being boiled beyond recognition (as the usual case in club bistros) the schnitzel wasn't bad.... and again, you can't go wrong with $3 schooners.
Just one thing... i wouldn't advise that you try the Sunday roast at this place. I've never eaten anything worse.
