available—and highly recommended— in a bowl of its own, where it is prepared with earthy pumpkin, bright mint and sweet orange. Australian rib-eye is served with a Tasmanian pepper berry sauce over a buttery mound of mashed potatoes, accompanied with a hearty bundle of haricots verts. A generous filet of salmon is seasoned with a blend of herbs and citrus, then baked en papillote— wrapped in parchment. The resulting aroma as you unwrap the package will instantly sweep you away to the reefs of Australia. Prepare to indulge in one of the most delicious renditions of eggplant Parmigiana, where tender layers of golden-crusted aubergines are stacked with a blend of soft, melted cheeses and piquant tomatoes. Australian favorites remain staples on the menu, like the kangaroo burger with “the lot,” or the delicious sausage rolls and playful jaffles. And you should always end your meal with an order of salted caramel slices for a rich cup of “triple T tiramisu.” Better yet, treat yourself to an Australian iced coffee as a grand finale. Somewhat like an Italian affogato, the coffee is capped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Now, that’s the way to end a meal. 35-12 Ditmars Blvd. Astoria NY 11105 718-626-5430 www.thethirstykoala.com Organic half chicken Eggplant parmigiana 44 I BOROMAG.COM I january 2016 FOOD & DRINK
