A Meal At Jamie Oliver Italian Restaurant

ON THE FIFTH AND OUR LAST DAY OF OUR FREE AND EASY TRIP, we went for an Italian meal at Jamie Oliver Restaurant. The day before we went there, we saw a queue right outside the restaurant and I was told that this place is normally crowded every day especially during lunch hour...Knowing that, we went there earlier to beat the crowd...
There was no queue outside but there were already some patrons waiting inside instead..
We were told to wait fifteen minutes for a table...
While waiting, I browsed around...all Jamie's cookbooks and products.. 
And the ambience...
I was also told that this place was formerly a bank... 
 A very huge one too!
No wonder it does not look like a restaurant...
 The empty chairs are for those waiting in line... 
I even find the "vaults" turned into "restrooms" interesting..
And now ... the Italian food.... 
Jamie Italian Burger...
A Giant One!
Chargrilled beef burger with fontina cheese in a brioche bun
with fried onions and grilled mortadella...
This is Fish In A Bag...
Consists of baked sustainable fish, clams, mussels, chilli with Sicillian cracked wheat
and pine nuts topped with fiery arrabbiata sauce..
*words taken out from the menu*
Pasta with lamb fillings... 
Perfectly done.... 
Squids with Italian sauce...
Cannot remember what this is called...
*Was busy eating that I forgot to take down the name of the dish*
hahahaaa..
Another Italian dish which I cannot recall what it is called...
But I can still remember that each dish tasted GREAT!
Something very different from what I have tasted before...
Great Place to come by...
No wonder there is always a Q...
Food portions are not huge as I have expected..
Call me "jakun"...
I never heard of Jamie Oliver until I was actually there for the first time in history!

    I thought I was only away for one day, but seems like I missed a lot of posts already!

    OMG! You don't know who Jamie is... then you know Gordon "f**king" Ramsay or not? I think he is not as popular in Australia, that is why you get to queue for tables. If you are in London, you can forget queuing, all his restaurants there need to have advance reservation by at least a month or two! :/

    Wow, I have really enjoyed this post because I used to watch Jamie on his T.V. show! I did not know about this place, it looks so cool! And the food looks excellent. It is worth going just to see the crazy atmosphere.

    That is where we got Jamie's name from! Hehe. The dad hopes he becomes a famous chef like him. Lol.

    Very interesting restaurant. And nice food too. At least something different from Asian food in Adelaide that you had for few days. ;)

    I learn quite a few cooking tips from watching Jamie's cooking shows. Maybe you can start youtube his shows. =)
