Junni Lebanese
Another fine sunny day it was, and I went to Walsh Bay with my brother to check out our friend’s work at the UNSW architecture exhibition, which was held at The Pier. Beforehand, we ate at Junni; lebanese food.
The place was small and it is located right beside the well-known Firefly restaurant. Junni was overlooking the warm dazzling view of The Pier.
Lebanese bread
The bread was free, and you could order some more for free too, like a drinks free-flow. We were supposed to eat it with the Supreme Platter we ordered, which was filled with chicken, beef and lamb skewers with hommous on the side.

Arabian Lamb sausages
The lamb sausages were scrumptious, its lamb taste would submerge in its scrumptious-ness, you would not care about that awkward taste you feel when eating lamb because the sausages are really that good. It was chewy and yes I must admit unhealthy, but it is definitely highly recommended.
After finishing up with our mains, we decided to proceed to desserts since we had enough time to kill while waiting for our friend to come and show us round the exhibition. The baklava caught my eyes and the owner, who was present, was kind enough to show me the platter full of different baklava pieces and he recommended four pieces for us to try. He started by saying his favorite which was the bakalwari slice, pork minced with nuts. It is the one that looks like a sliced pyramid with pork and nuts minced together popping out from the inside. I picked out the burma pistachio, which was round and had these crispy filo pastry wrapping it. Then he recommended his next favorite, which was the baklava log; the long baklava with cashews. Lastly, the diamond pine and as the name suggests its insides were crushed pine nuts.
Baklava
The filo pastries were sugar coated and fried, which made it extra tastier. We clocked off after our Ottoman feast, but overall the food was enjoyable and a re-visit was simply necessary.
