We started eatshowandtell in 2008, it was meant to be just a journal of where we ate. The first thing I usually do when I'm looking for a restaurant is check out eatability and the restaurant website. But what is usually missing is pictures of the food, how do I know I'm getting what I expect? This blog hopefully plugs that gap.
Dumpling Noodle Plus, Ashfield
Mate : ” Hey mate, wanna catch up for dinner at this really good Northern Chinese place in Ashfield ? I’ve been going to them for years in the Dixon St food court but they ...
The Tea Room Gunners Barracks, Mosman
As I move through my mid 20′s, life seems to pass by so much quicker. I remember when I first started playing soccer during the second year of Uni, I kept saying to myself that ...
Bar-Be School, a day out of the office
It’s great to have a team off site now and then. When we are on projects, we often lose sight of the importance of taking time out and getting to know a bit more about our team members. We are so fixated on getting our deliverables completed on time or fending off office politics, that we sometimes don’t even know what the guy sitting five levels down does.
How to cook a suckling pig on a spit roast
You know, sometimes having a normal barbecue just isn’t enough. This weekend we decided to make things a bit more interesting by ordering a 12kg baby pig from our local butcher. It set us back roughly $200, which is pretty good value considering it costs about $30/kg if you buy it pre-roasted from the Chinese barbecue stores. Not only is it fun, but you save a lot of money by roasting it yourself.
Tokonoma Shochu Bar & Lounge, Surry Hills
Right, so where do I start. I guess, Tokonoma for me is a breath of fresh air for decent modern/fusion Japanese or whatever you wan’t to call it. They nail it spot on in terms of service, ambience, design, food and drinks. It blends in perfectly with it’s sister store Toko on Crown st and is a great place to catch up with friends if you start a tab and not have to worry about the bill until the end.
Restaurant Arras, Walsh Bay
I’ve only dined here once but Restaurant Arras is up there with my favourite restaurants right now. The food is inventive and creative but you can still see the traditional British influences. The restaurant is in a nice location away from the hustle and bustle of the city and it seems the Chef is quite passionate about his food and the aesthetics of his restaurant.
Hotpot and a farewell to Teresa
What is with the unpredictable Sydney weather lately ? On one day you’ll get cool’ish 19 degree days and on another you will have a 36 degree scorcher. With such fluctuating temperatures comes with fluctuating food choices. Do I fire up the bbq and knock down a few cold ones or do I warm up with a hotpot ? For Teresa’s farewell recently, we chose the latter.
