Australia to serve it.\u00a0 You can often see chef\/owner Alastair McLeod pottering away in the kitchen thanks to the restaurant&#8217;s revealing glass panel walls.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t really watch much free-to-air television in Australia but apparently he also moonlights as a celebrity chef on <em>Ready Steady Cook<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Jen and I have dined at Tank before on a couple of occasions and its inviting aroma and apetizing menu always has us considering another visit.\u00a0 There&#8217;s also the convenience factor &#8211; Tank is literally thirty metres away from our apartment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We decided to dine at Tank on the occasion of our third wedding anniversary.\u00a0 The food didn&#8217;t disappoint.\u00a0 We are addicted to their delicious root chip and walnut starters.\u00a0 The dishes are all served fresh with local produce and are a great fusion of traditional Japanese and modern Australian styles.\u00a0 How else can you describe a dining experience where you&#8217;re served a plate of sashimi followed up with something called &#8216;pumpkin tofu&#8217;?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7914\" style=\"width: 610px\"
