I was excited to head to the Taste of Sydney Festival held at Centennial Park over the weekend of 13-16 March 2014. Dubbed ‘the world’s greatest restaurant festival’, Taste of Sydney showcases 15 of Sydney’s hottest and latest restaurants that provide 4 tasting dishes each. There are also over 100 artisan producers (wine, cheese, beer, […] Read more…
My partner organised my birthday dinner with a group of friends at Morks. I love Morks! We all partook in the 8 course tasting menu ($95 without wine, $125 with wine). After my last experience with the tasting menu at the previous Florey location, I was keen to try out the updated menu. Course 1 […] Read more…
I usually head to Din Tai Fung whenever I’m in Sydney for their dumplings, particularly the xiao long bao, but a friend mentioned she goes to another dumpling place that’s cheaper and better. I’m always up for trying new (and cheaper) places so I was happy to go along. We headed to World Square’s Taste […] Read more…
During a weekend stay in Sydney, I got to visit Kylie Kwong’s Surry Hills restaurant Billy Kwong with some friends. The restaurant takes 6pm or 8pm bookings, and those in the 6pm slot need to be out by 8pm. The restaurant rang us earlier in the day to confirm our booking and were advised that […] Read more…
I headed to Chez Frederic in Braddon for dinner with a friend. This fairly new cafe on Lonsdale Street opened up earlier this year. Its website states it’s a gourmet take away, dine-in and catering cafe. I’d originally read a blog that gave a nice introduction to it. I like how the menu is split […] Read more…
I went to a birthday dinner at Zierholz Premium Brewery in Fyshwick. Since I don’t drink, the brewery was never high on my list of places to visit until I had a closer look at the menu. Zierholz offers German foods such as pork knuckle, pork belly, sausages and schnitty with sides of sauerkraut and […] Read more…
Remedy by Lonsdale Street Roasters and Morks Thai recently introduced a joint breakfast collaboration at the Kingston Foreshore. Located out the front of Remedy, a table and BBQ are set up to cook the day’s simple menu. There are only two options – both $10 each. These vertical gardens are everywhere now. I like it! […] Read more…
I walked past Paleo Perfection Espresso Bar the other week, and after finding its Facebook page, I found out it was opening today. As mentioned in my previous post, they had a stall at the Bus Depot Markets selling chocolates, muffins and other sweet things. Their signage states no dairy, grain, gluten, peanut, cane sugar […] Read more…
After my first time at Quizine, I wanted to head back for a healthy lunch. Inside, there is a large glass display cabinet filled with fresh fruit for juicing, salads and focaccias. I decided on the salmon focaccia ($8.50) that had a bit of cream cheese, capers and lots of spinach. When I took one […] Read more…
New frozen yogurt store Yoli opened up at Westfield Woden a few months ago, opposite Price Attack and Hero Sushi. That’s the 5th froyo brand to open up in Canberra (that I know about anyway). Of course, I had to give it a go. I love my fruit flavours so I chose lychee, watermelon and […] Read more…
