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.

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

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.
