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!
The Final Sojourn, Sojourn, Balmain Posted in Degustation, European, French, Sydney, Inner West on 14 April 2010

It’s always with a heavy heart when I read about the closing of a restaurant that I’ve been to, regardless of the meal I had at the restaurant. When we read about Sojourn closing its doors we knew we had to go back for the very aptly titled ‘The Final Sojourn’.
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.
Foveaux Restaurant and Bar, Surry Hills Posted in Dessert, Dinner, European, Sydney, Surry Hills on 25 February 2010

The quietly elegant decor of Foveaux hides a place full of surprises and firsts, for us anyway. I never imagined that I would ever eat heart or like black pudding, but I did and even enjoyed it, revelling in its flavours. I really like how Foveaux’s head chef, Darrell Felstead, pushes the boundaries with his dishes, challenging us diners to try something different.
Burlington Bar and Dining, Crows Nest Posted in Dinner, European, French, Spanish, Sydney, Lower North Shore on 28 January 2010

From the outside of the restaurant, the Burlington looks like a small, modern and rather unassuming location. The food was good. The company was good. The atmosphere was good. The service was good. I want to go back (again).

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.
Wowcow and Just Another Restaurant, Darlinghurst and East Sydney Posted in Dessert, Dinner, European, Sydney, Inner East on 18 October 2009

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.
SIFF Let’s Do Lunch : Fix St James, Sydney Posted in European, Let's Do Lunch, Lunch, SIFF - Sydney International Food Festival, Sydney, CBD on 3 October 2009

Sydney International Food Festival, or inevitably abbreviated to be known as SIFF, is finally here! With my going back to work next week in Chatswood – ever so far away from some of the Let’s Do Lunches I’ve got my eye on – I scoured the SIFF website trying to narrow my choices down to just two restaurants.
Etch, Sydney Posted in Dessert, Dinner, European, Sydney, CBD on 29 September 2009

My first glimpse of Etch and its food was on Herecomesthefood. I was impressed at how pretty it looked and the food! Oh the food… I really wanted to go, but real life got in the way and other restaurants somehow managed to jostle it further down my list. Until, that is, F found out that AMP employees get a discount at Etch and asked me if I’ve heard about it and wanted to go. Heck yeah! We spontaneously decided to book a reservation in for the next day. Yay!
The Hub, Wanaka, New Zealand Posted in Dessert, Dinner, European, New Zealand on 16 September 2009

A group of friends and I travelled to New Zealand’s South Island for a week of snowboarding in August. The resort that we stayed at boasted a pretty nice looking restaurant and going by our adage of “we’re overseas, we have to eat out at least once we booked in a dinner at The Hub.

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.
Sepia Restaurant & Wine Bar, Sydney Posted in Degustation, Dessert, Dinner, European, Japanese, Lunch, Modern Australian, Sydney, CBD on 5 August 2009

Sepia is located on the Northern end of Sussex St which does not attract a huge proportion of the CBD crowd on a Friday night, but judging by the packed house this evening it seems one of Sydney’s best kept dining secrets won’t be a secret for too much longer. There is a nice relaxed ambience when walking into Sepia despite the huge crowd as we were seated promptly by our waiter. You know your evening is off to a good start when the waiter is happy.
