Comments on: The Pond, Pop-up Restaurant, Darlinghurst http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/11/16/the-pond-pop-up-restaurant-darlinghurst/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Were they sponsored by Pure Blonde? If so, it could be one in the same. Nice to see they're doing food now.

I've been to this place for friday lunch with my co-workers before. Unfortunately all the interesting items on the menu were all gone by the time we got there. They had "pork milk pudding" on the day - sounds interesting, but visually didn't look good on other's plate. I had a grilled salmon - very basic, nothing impressive it was just plain okay. But I guess that's too soon to judge especially when they change their menu frequently. I'll pop in sometime to see what else is on the menu :) oh the pond.
