One of the coolest things about living over here is that we are constantly bombarded with opportunity to try something we’ve never done before. It forces us to step outside of our comfort zone and experiment. I never realized how often we choose the “easy” option when faced with a choice – go with something you’re comfortable with or go with the unknown.
Last night we trusted our friends Jo and Pete and actually took a chance on dinner in a suburb we had never visited, to try a variety of food we both knew nothing about. We travelled to Balmain, over the (gasp!) ANZAC bridge to Efendy (http://www.efendy.com.au), a Turkish restaurant.
The food was amazing! We opted for the “Sultan’s Feast,” an 8 course tasting menu so we could try a variety of things. We practically rolled out the door at the end of the meal because we all couldn’t stop eating – everything was so delicious!
It goes to show that sometimes you need to take a chance on something that’s completely foreign to you. It’s the only way you’ll ever grow and you never know – you might find your new favorite thing!
