Design and canapés

The ArtHouse Hotel is a name synonymous with art, music and entertainment. The building itself, dating back to 1836 and has been elegantly refurbished to reflect the splendour of the past juxtaposed against functional design principles of the present, and creates a vibrant and energetic venue that reflects the cosmopolitan and cultural society that its location in Sydney demands.

Being a print graphic designer the Mohawk Show sponsored in Australia by Raleigh Paper is one of the more exciting calendar events I try to attend each year. Appropriately the venue this year was in the Dome of the Arthouse Hotel which was formerly The School of Arts Building. Welcome drinks were provided freely and their was no shortage of delicious canapés starting with Duck pancakes served in spoons which had a bit of a nice chilli kick I wasn’t expecting. The Scallops baked with citrus butter were tasty as well as the Goats cheese, pea and chive arrancini. Delightful looking Mini wagyu cheese burgers were just about bite sized and the Crumbed swordfish goujons were cooked with a crisp batter enjoyed with house made tartar. My favourite of the night were the Tiger prawns baked in brik pastry which reminded me a bit of the deep fried prawn wontons I’ve enjoyed at The Loft.
