Chinese noodle restaurant – Haymarket, Chinatown, Sydney CBD

June 23, 2010

Sadly soggy, oily, yucky. A disturbingly oily pork mince pastry is the last dish to arrive at our table and no one dares to touch it. I brace myself and pick a slice up with my chopsticks, its soggy bottom threatens to split and the filling inside almost become a table wipe. With quick thinking [...]

June 7, 2010

“KFC – we have a winner… on Pitt St” As vaguely as it may sound, but when I received this SMS from my mate, Five ‘Fiddy’ Phon, I knew exactly what he is talking about and I trusted him that he will never joke about KFC – our beloved Korean Fried Chicken. But he is [...]

Marigold Restaurant Yum Cha – Haymarket Chinatown, Sydney CBD

May 27, 2010

“Ewww….!” She squeals. But we are not taking ‘no’ for an answer and keep prodding, “Eat it! Eat it!” She squeals some more and simply won’t barge. Betty eventually takes her drink away and says, “If you are not going to eat it, you won’t get your Coke!” And it worked. Karen slowly picks up [...]

We’ve counted the number of dishes on the menu.

bangbang Cafe – Surry Hills, Sydney CBD

April 23, 2010

From turntable to dining table. Should I be skeptical about the food served at a cafe that is opened by a DJ? Not to mention with a funny name like, “BANG BANG”? I was ready to ignore the invite when it came through to my inbox a couple of weeks ago sent by Alan Thompson, [...]

Waterfront Grill – Darling Harbour, Sydney CBD

March 22, 2010

I love when friends keep reminding me that I passed my used-by-date in a subtle way, like inviting you to a 21st birthday for instance (Bloody Gen-Y!)
