The club industry’s premier dining competition ‘Perfect Plate’ is designed to showcase the incredible quality and variety of food on offer at clubs across NSW and highlights the many talented chefs in the industry.
Ballina RSL Club have submitted a ‘Ballina Prawn Laksa’ as their competition dish.
‘This is the best laksa I have ever had by a country mile’, said ex-rugby league star, Nathan Hindmarsh, when he visited the club last week. Hindmarsh also said that the fresh local ingredients used in the dish, and the balance of the sweet, salty and chilli flavours, were a perfect match.
His scoring of the dish (4.7 out of 5) put a huge smile on the face of the Club’s Head Chef, Jeremie Messager.
The Perfect Plate Awards are judged entirely by diners. This means that every club has an equal opportunity to win. Diners simply scan a unique QR code after tasting their club’s competition dish, and complete the form to submit a score between one and five. Diners will also need to upload a photo of their receipt to prove they purchased the dish to be eligible to vote.
You can have your say by dropping in, tasting the dish and voting. The competition closes on 9 July, 2023.
