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.

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!) God knows how long ago that I attended a 21st birthday and definitely wouldn’t want to be reminded my fashion sense back then. Be gone the 90s’! Jacq [...]
