Deep inside, everyone has to have a soft spot for some crackling off a piece of roast pork. Regardless of the copious amounts of fat and calories in each crunch, it justs tastes too good to refuse. So inspired by the glorious weather and a craving for some crispy skin pork, Linda and I made [...]
Mr Chow’s Peking Restaurant , Millers Point Posted in Chinese on 15 September 2008

I’m usually a bit skeptical when it comes to ‘Asian’ restaurants in an area such as Miller’s Point. Images of asian food targeted at a western demographic springs to my mind every time. Though, It’s a catch 22 scenario when your catering for the demographic of an area such as Miller’s Point. On one hand, you have copious amounts of tourist’s who might be intimated by authentic cuisine yet you have cultured Sydney local’s who prefer authentisicm over fusion …

Din Tai Fung has been the talk of the town not only among Sydney food bloggers, but also people in the CBD in general. When someone mentions dumplings, they are bound to mention yum cha … or Din Tai Fung. Din Tai Fung has finally made its presence felt in Australia by opening one of their flagship stores in Sydney. It is a Taiwanese based global franchise with a firm presence and stranglehold on the Asian market …

There are quite a few restaurants offering Yum Cha in Cabramatta, most of them requires queuing for at least half an hour. However one day we did spot a gem amongst the rubbles. A small restaurant with photos of the many dishes plastered in its front window caught our attention. Not wanting to waste our time waiting for a restaurant we decided to try Fortune 8, and we’ve never looked back.
Shancheng Hot Pot King, Haymarket Posted in Chinese on 27 July 2008

Our expectations were set very high when a work colleague of mine recommended this place for some hot pot on an unusually cold Sydney winter’s day. You could imagine our reactions as we approached the safe haven of rain shelter to find this restaurant empty, not a soul in sight … not even a waiter.
New Shanghai Chinese Restaurant, Ashfield Posted in Chinese on 20 July 2008

Word on the street is that Ashfield knows a thing or two about making dumplings. I’ve been to Beijing and Shanghai and I must say, their dumplings lived up to expectations. However, apart from the freshness, I’d dare say we in Sydney are fortunate to have dumplings which taste just as good. Perhaps the wonderful [...]

Something kwong here I’ve heard so much about Billy Kwong and how delicious their dishes are (as well as the difficulty in getting a table because they don’t take bookings) that I was only too happy to say “yes” when my friend asked me whether I wanted to join them for dinner there. Even though [...]

Sunday mornings I usually wake up and wonder where I will have have my usual Sunday brunch. The last thing I wanted was Yum Cha again. Is this my version of groundhog day? I must admit, there really is no other alternative for Yum Cha if you happen to live in the Fairfield / Liverpool [...]

We were approaching Bar Luck and noticed that a wedding was being held. Did they confuse our booking with another night? We looked like bogans whereas everyone else was dressed in their elegant wedding attire. Our fears were put to ease when they ushered us into what I would describe as a private Room. Bar [...]

Where have we been? Like most blogs, it seemed eatshowandtell was destined to be lost forever and neglected. But fear not, I have a backlog of interesting posts waiting to be posted! And what better way to get the ball rolling again with Yum Cha at our local joint Iron Chef. Prawn and Chive dumplings [...]

I was told the Laksa here was perhaps the best in Sydney. Too bad I didn’t order the Laksa. Malay Chinese Take Away is best known for it’s long queues primarily filled with CBD office workers on their lunch breaks. Rain, hail or shine you will find no shortage of people tucking into their meals [...]
