Burlington Bar and Dining, Crows Nest
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).
Blancharu, Elizabeth Bay
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.
2009 SIFF Hats Off Dinner – Restaurant Balzac
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.
SIFF Hats Off Dinner 2009: Becasse, Sydney
I thought I’d surprise F with an early birthday dinner and what better way than to do it with a SIFF Hats Off Dinner – a Hats Off Dinner at Becasse to be precise! I was intrigued and drawn by their theme: an acknowledgement to the Heroes and Masters of French cuisine and I thought he might find it as interesting as I did (and enjoy it).
Bistro Ortolan, Leichhardt
Have you ever liked something so much that you find yourself seeing it again, buying it again or eating it again ? I remember when The Matrix came out, I watched it at the cinemas three times. I’ve recently found the perfect pair of jeans by A.P.C, I end up buying two pairs so I can rotate. In terms of food, well, this is my second visit to Bistro Ortolan in two weeks.
Soup Series: Mushroom Broth with a Fresh Herb Cream Crust
After a long absence we finally see the return of the Soup Series! Some of you may remember seeing this recipe used at our Dinner for 6 a few months back. I recently stumbled across the recipe again and remembering how much I enjoyed making and eating this soup I felt the need to share.
Cookshow&tell, J’s French Laundry
To celebrate a good friend J’s birthday, Howard and I along with a group of friends got together to attempt a French Laundry themed dinner. The reason why we chose French Laundy is that J will be going to America next month, however due to time constraints she’s unable to visit Thomas Keller’s famed restaurant.
