Estate at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Coogee Beach is supersizing things up! Following its opening in March, the restaurant is serving a fast food favourite — the Big Mac — with an interesting twist. However, it will only for a limited time.
Chef Matthew Butcher will recreate a Big Mac-inspired risotto dish created by Chef Ryan Clift from the Tipping Club in Singapore. Mr Butcher trained under Mr Clift, who happily passed along his super secret recipe for this sinfully delicious dish.
The Big Mac Risotto is the star of Estate’s new spring menu and will cost $26 a plate. The meal consists of wagyu beef, homemade cheese and special mustard based sauce, dill, fermented cucumber pickles, sesame seeds, and a fold of lettuce.
Mr Ryan said that he tried to copy the McDonald’s Big Mac sauce recipe unsuccessfully. The fluke, however, turned out to be a blessing since he created his own secret sauce to use for the risotto.
Meanwhile, Estate’s formal dining space and taqueria follow different trading hours amidst the COVID-19 restrictions. Government restrictions remain in place for all of the eateries at the site, whilst the outdoor deck, the Terrace, has reopened effective 3 Sept. 2020.
The taqueria’s Private Karaoke Room has also reopened for late night, small group parties.
The restaurant has brought back its Taco Tuesdays, which has actually extended until Wednesdays. Deals during these days include 2 for 1 tacos and $10 margaritas.
Booking in advance is highly encouraged for guests who want to dine-in at Estate. For more details about trading hours, deals and other offers, follow Estate’s Facebook page.
