Sushi Class, Surry Hills Posted in Food Chat, Japanese, Lunch, Sydney, East on 23 August 2010
Tagged with: Seafood

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.
Hello from NYC #2 – My Food Trail Posted in American, Asian, Breakfast, Dinner, European, Japanese, Lunch, New York City on 16 August 2010

So for the past few months, I have been hard at work eating my heart out. Luckily I don’t own scales so I cannot say whether my body size has been affected by this, but I’m pretty sure it has. That’s one thing to watch out in NYC… the heaviness of the food!
Star Lao Thai Restaurant, Fairfield Posted in Dinner, Laos, Lunch, Sydney, West, Thai on 28 July 2010
10 Comments
On yet another rainy night in Sydney, I find myself continuing my love affair with laotian food. Tucked away from the heart of Fairfield on Hamilton road is a charming restaurant called Star Lao. It’s one of many Lao/Thai restaurants in the area, and a favourite of my good friends Donnie and Jase. We’ve been [...]
Bayon Noodle, Cabramatta Posted in Cambodian, Chinese, Lunch, Sydney, South West on 21 July 2010
11 Comments
Every now and then, a new restaurant opens in Cabramatta. Being a local, immediate doubts are cast over it. Will it succeed? Or will it end up being just another average restaurant? You see, regular visitors of Cabramatta are extremely loyal to their local eating holes. It’s not enough to be a jack of all [...]
Berowra Waters Inn, Berowra Waters Posted in Degustation, Dessert, French, Lunch, Modern Australian, Sydney, Upper North Shore on 7 July 2010

A couple of friends have recently been to Berowra Waters Inn and raved on about the food, telling us that we must eat here. When we finally booked it, we asked them what was good to order (or to avoid) and their advice wasn’t as much of advice as more raving about how good the [...]
Malaysia Mondays – Road Tripping to Batu Caves and Melaka Posted in Dessert, Dinner, Lunch, Malaysia, Malaysian, On The Road on 31 May 2010

Anyone who has been to Malaysia will know that while Kuala Lumpur is shiny, apart from shopping and eating there’s not a hell of a lot to do there. We decided early on in our planning to hire a van to drive us around Malaysia, road trip style!
Restaurant Arras, Walsh Bay Posted in Degustation, Dinner, English, Lunch, Sydney, CBD on 1 April 2010
18 Comments
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.
Taste of Sydney Festival, Centennial Park Posted in Dessert, English, European, French, Italian, Lunch, Modern Australian, Spanish, Sydney, East on 19 March 2010
Tagged with: beef, Dessert, pork, Seafood

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.
Megalong Tea Rooms, Blue Mountains Posted in Australian, Breakfast, Cuisine, Lunch, Sydney, West on 9 March 2010
Tagged with: cake, coffee, tea

After a long day walking it was a relief to be able to kick back with some good food, good views and a good coffee. The food at Megalong tea room is honest and home made style rather than modern cafe style which you expect back in Sydney. As a result, it’s a great throwback to what country style food could be like. If I’m in the area, I’ll definitely come back as this sort of comfort food is exactly what you need after a long walk in the bush.

Our Japanese lunch has been organised by Gourmet Safaris, a company which hosts a number of Gourmet walking tours both locally and internationally all designed by Maeve O’Meara. The Gourmet Safari word has obviously been spreading, it’s a varied crowd which has turned out for today’s event.
Moo Gourmet Burgers, Coogee Posted in American, Lunch, Sydney, East on 5 February 2010
Tagged with: beef, pork

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.
Liana’s, Parramatta Posted in Dessert, Italian, Lunch, Sydney, West on 17 January 2010
Tagged with: chicken, Dessert, Seafood

In thinking of a place to treat my friend to lunch in Parramatta, I noticed massive banners declaring that Liana’s is under original management while I was waiting for him. Hmm, interesting. I’ve noticed over the years a decline in patronage (or perhaps I’ve just visited them at odd times?), which I found a bit sad as I’ve always liked Liana’s. I suggested the restaurant to Chung and mentioned how they make pretty good risotto there, which I always ordered in the past. Perhaps foreseeing a lot of aimless wandering around if he didn’t, Chung agreed to try Liana’s.
