SIFF Sugar Hit 2009: Tony Bilson’s Number One, Sydney
In fond rememberance of Onde’s pear and frangipani tart, I thought I should see how well Tony Bilson’s Number One’s version stacked up.
SIFF Let’s Do Lunch 2009: Sean’s Kitchen
While this month’s Let’s Do Lunch offerings are more than enticing, being situated just outside of the CBD means that the majority of these lunches are simply just too far away for me. Scanning through the list of restaurants I narrowed my list down to restaurants in the immediate vicinity and settled on Sean’s Kitchen and their “7 Deadly Sins”.
SIFF Sugar Hit 2009: Shangri La Hotel
We had just finished our meal at the Night Noodle Markets, when Kathness somehow managed to get us a booking for 8 people just 1 hour before the Shangri La Sugar Hit would start. I didn’t hold much hope for a table as a few hotels have been booked out for their Sugar Hit sessions. As the night was young, I couldn’t knock back an opportunity to increase my blood sugar levels.
SIFF Sugar Hit : Sir Stamford at Circular Quay Hotel, Sydney
I love lazy weekends – I’ll admit I would happily sleep in til late in the afternoons sometimes (especially if it’s miserable outside). So when we were lazing around, idly discussing what we should do, F offhandedly put forward: “Why don’t we do a Sugar Hit?” Why not indeed.
SIFF Let’s Do Lunch: Teppanyaki, Sydney
Ever since Merivale decided to get a bit more serious with their food, Teppanyaki has been a quiet achiever while the likes of est. take the spotlight. This years Let’s do Lunch as part of SIFF gives me another opportunity to see what Teppanyaki is up to.
SIFF Sugar Hit 2009: Sheraton on the Park, Sydney
The pudding was a lot bigger than I had anticipated and all that chocolate looked mighty appealing. The lightly sweet Chantilly cream and the honeycomb ice cream were a delicious counterpoint to the heavy and warm chocolate pudding – they both really helped to cut through the dense, gooey, rich chocolate taste.
SIFF Sugar Hit 2009: The Westin, Sydney
Slightly overwhelmed by the choices at hand of where to go for our Sugar Hit, I remembered that the Sugar Hit at The Westin last year was pretty decent and the wild rice pudding sounded really interesting. I can’t remember the last time I had rice pudding, let alone wild rice pudding, so I figured it’d be a different and, hopefully, tasty experience.
