Nested in the back streets of Elizabeth Bay, near the back of Kings Cross, Blancharu is another gem worth trying in this area. Around the Kings Cross, Potts Point & Elizabeth Bay area, you will find most cuisines to your desire, and the quality is top notch.

In the recent past, Danks St Depot was my favourite sunday brunch haunt (note: the creamed eggs are to-die-for) but due to my recent desire to save and just plain ole laziness, I’ve had to cut this luxury out of my life. We’ve posted about Danks St twice before: For the early dinner’s club and of course, for brunch. This place is a personal favourite of mine and after a recent Christmas dinner here, I decide to make a second return.

It’s been long overdue, but I finally managed to catch up with an old friend, Sam. He’d been asking me to come out to eat for a while, but the timing hasn’t been very good (terrible excuse, I know… sorry Sam!). Happily, we nominated a night where we were both free and had a pre-dinner dessert first, naturally.

Wanting to eat out and to give my newly acquired camera a test run, F booked me in for a secret dinner – secret because he wouldn’t tell me where we were going! Bah. Eventually though, as the week progressed, he caved and revealed that we were going to eat at Universal. The website looks so vibrant and colourful, I hoped that the food would be the same as well.

I hadn’t planned on going to any Merivale Winter Feasts as there’s a New Zealand trip coming up that I still need to save for. *sigh* However, when one of my high school friends wanted to have an intimate dinner with a few friends and excitedly mentioned it, I couldn’t resist raising my hand.
