Restaurant Arras – Walsh Bay, Sydney

Billy — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 21:04:39 +0000

I’ve been longing to visit Restaurant Arras ever since I’ve read many excellent reviews by food bloggers. But for a lazy moi, its location at Walsh Bay is definitely the major hindrance for an earlier visit. Earlier in March this year, with a little more effort and finally found myself in the restaurant having an [...]

Charlie & Co. Burgers, Westfield Sydney – Sydney CBD, NSW

Billy — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 20:15:49 +0000

I avoided the stampede for over a month, and finally have my first chance to check out the newly redeveloped Westfield Sydney in Pitt Street Mall. The $1.2 billion makeover has turned Westfield into a glossy black high-fashion shopping paradise, even the dining arcade on top floor can hardly consider a “food court” where most [...]

Melbourne Food & Wine Festival 2011 Media Launch at Berta, Sydney CBD

Billy — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 20:15:16 +0000

Melbourne Food and Wine Festival 2010 seems so long ago now! Helen and I were very grateful to be invited by the Tourism Victoria to attend the festival in March this year, and it was definitely one of the most exciting and memorable culinary journey we’ve had together. (Oh dear, I said *journey*!) But the [...]

Mizuya – Sydney CBD, NSW

Billy — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 22:16:37 +0000

Healthy eaters look away now. These not-so-cholesterol-friendly golden crispy tiles are definitely not for the health-conscious, they are dangerously addictive and I find myself couldn’t stop eating them! Who’d have thought a simple plate of deep-fried crispy chicken skins can be so satisfying? At times like this, it’s best to put your guilty conscience aside [...]

Indian Pacific 40th Anniversary lunch tour

Billy — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 21:40:37 +0000

I choo… choo… choose food. I was expecting the food served on a train will be like airline food, in plastic tubs with plastic cutlery for no fuss convenience and tidiness, how wrong was I. The a la carte lunch I’ve had on the Indian Pacific recently had definitely surpassed my expectations. Named after the [...]

Crazy Wings – Haymarket, Sydney CBD

Billy — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 00:24:27 +0000

“A unique Mongolian marination, sprinkled with the Uighur special spicy chilli powder, then grilled with top quality Indonesian charcoals”, written in Chinese on the paper mat provided, these BT Monster Crazy Wings are not to be messed with! The inhumane hotness leaves both Helen and I flapping our hands like two helpless chooks, trying to [...]

Flavour of Malaysia Food Festival at Grace Brasserie – Grace Hotel, Sydney CBD

Billy — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 15:17:05 +0000

Decision, decision-lah! Uncle uncle, cannot decide what to eat ah? Then, why not eat a little bit of everything? It is all-you-can-eat buffet after all, so eat all you like and then come back for more lah! That’s exactly what me and Ah Shez did at Flavours of Malaysia buffet at the Grace Brasserie in [...]

Pig & Pinot dinner at Chophouse – Sydney CBD

Billy — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 19:21:46 +0000

Carved at the table. As written on the menu, one whole suckling pig will be carved right in front of us at the table by Chophouse executive chef David Clarke. Yes please, I absolutely have no objection what so ever to such glorious ceremony. I will bow and kiss the piggeh’s foot if I must. [...]

Chefs Gallery 中厨 – Sydney CBD

Billy — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 19:10:18 +0000

The dramatic giant glass tank on Bathurst Street with big letters ‘CHEFS GALLERY‘ written across the whole wall glowing so bright, it definitely makes a few pedestrians stop on their paths and aroused a few curiosities. While I am waiting outside for Helen, I notice a countless of passerby having a double take, leaning over [...]

Kansai – Sydney CBD (All you can eat!)

Billy — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:19:47 +0000

All-you-can-eat sushi is my best, best friend. I can smell the skeptical you from miles away, pouting a cat’s bottom in disapproval just because I went for all-you-can-eat cheapskate deal which the quality of the food are usually below par. It’s true, I don’t deny that. Usually I probably won’t go for A-Y-C-E deal that [...]
