Souk in the City, Surry Hills Posted in Dessert, Dinner, Moroccan, Sydney, East on 1 September 2010

Souk in the City is a restaurant I’ve been meaning to come back to for ages, while Sisiely seems like she’s been dying to try the food here ever since she went past it one night (and it was too busy to accommodate her party for dinner). Finally, the planets and stars aligned…
Sushi Class, Surry Hills Posted in Food Chat, Japanese, Lunch, Sydney, East on 23 August 2010

F’s sister called me up out of the blue last year and asked, “If I buy F a gift voucher for a sushi making class as a Christmas present, would you go with him?” Unhesitatingly, I said yes. I adore sushi and I thought understanding the work that goes into making it would make me appreciate it more when I’m inevitably nom’ing it down.
Ju Ju, Kings Cross Posted in Dessert, Dinner, Japanese, Sydney, East on 18 June 2010

Ju Ju is exactly how I remembered: the warm, wooden decor and the pits! I love how the tables are basically sunken and you have to sit on square black cushions. We poured over the various laminated menus provided, taking quite a while to decide on what to get. We were so spoilt for choice – it was so hard to choose!
Taste of Sydney Festival, Centennial Park Posted in Dessert, English, European, French, Italian, Lunch, Modern Australian, Spanish, Sydney, East on 19 March 2010

I think it was around December that I heard a little fleeting teaser that Taste of Sydney will be on.. soon. Last year’s Taste was so much fun, so I was pretty excited. How excited? As soon as I found out the menu was online, F and I had worked out what to order in a matter of mere minutes and mushed our choices together for an epic mini-gastronomic adventure. And this was about two weeks before our Saturday session haha.
Restaurant Balzac, Randwick Posted in Degustation, Dessert, English, French, Sydney, East on 12 March 2010

Restaurant Balzac was busily buzzing on a Sunday night, with all of their tables on the ground floor full of customers and most of the tables on the first floor filled. I think it’s a testament to the great food served here by courteous and attentive wait staff.
This particular degustation was a special seasonal degustation that is available only on the last Sunday of each month.
Moo Gourmet Burgers, Coogee Posted in American, Lunch, Sydney, East on 5 February 2010

A few months ago, Sam told me about Moo Gourmet Burgers (rather it was his exclamations of “duck and bacon burger!!! BBQ PORK BELLY BURGER!!!” that got my attention) and ever since then, I became obsessed with them. It wasn’t until the end of December that I actually got to eat it and boy, I wasn’t disappointed. So good was my first experience that F and I actually went there not twice but three times (four for him) during the space of 3 weeks.
Pier Restaurant, Just Desserts Posted in Dessert, Dinner, Modern Australian, Sydney, East on 22 November 2009

I heard some news on the grapevine that the Pastry Chef of Pier would be leaving soon, and that her creations are something that had to be tasted before she closes up her chapter at Pier. This news was also confirmed in this months Gourmet Traveler magazine.

This year, Restaurant Balzac was once again awarded TWO hats for the 2010 Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide Awards. Tonight, I was back for the ever-so-long awaited Hats off dinner for the Sydney International Food Festival.
Brasserie Bread, Banksmeadow Posted in Breakfast, Lunch, Sydney, East on 22 June 2009
Tagged with: bakery

If I was asked to name a suburb starting with B, Banksmeadow probably would be the last one I would think of. To many, it is also an unlikely destination for a very popular bakery and cafè which knows a thing or two about making good bread.
Yuletide Pork dinner at Restaurant Atelier, Glebe Posted in Events, French, Sydney, East on 31 May 2009
9 Comments
I’ll be honest and admit that I had not heard of what Yuletide was until this evening. I’m not sure where I failed in primary school and missed this piece of knowledge. Anyway, thanks to the wonderful Mel from Fooderati and Stewart from Whiteworks, a handful of bloggers had the opportunity to meet a few people in the Food industry as well as try the delights served by Darren Templeman at Restaurant Atelier.
Rambutan, Darlinghurst Posted in Dinner, Sydney, East, Thai on 21 April 2009
13 Comments
Rambutan isn’t your usual Thai restaurant. The food isn’t outstanding, but it’s alot better than the rubbish some restaurants churn out and then claim to be ‘modern/fusion’ restaurants. Despite it being heavily based on modern Thai, I think they do a pretty good job on ensuring the flavours and ingredients are atleast unique in taste and presentation.
Chinese High Tea, Zensation, Redfern Posted in Chinese, Sydney, East on 2 February 2009

Some people can’t get through the morning without a cup of coffee, but for me it’s tea. It starts innocently enough with a simple black, then irish… english, green, white, peach?! Having enjoyed a few of the more traditional High Tea offerings around Sydney I couldn’t but jump at the chance to see how a Chinese High Tea would differ from its western cousin.
