Sydney Food Diary: Kujin, Elizabeth Bay

Kujin is our go-to place for dinner if we’re catching a show at the Hayes Theatre nearby. It’s great-quality, reasonably priced and delicious Japanese food. I was a little worried when we arrived that the service might be a little … Continue reading

Sydney Food Diary: Muum Maam, Surry Hills

Yen’s is a little hole in the wall, in Waterloo on Botany Road, brightly lit, and serving humble Vietnamese food. This time, we were sad that the old menus were gone with all the photos of the food. The table … Continue reading

Sydney Food Diary: Lotus in the Galeries, CBD

In some countries, fine dining can’t be found in shopping malls, but these days in Sydney, there are some pretty swanky choices. Lotus, in the shopping centre, the Galeries, at George and Park Streets, is upmarket and chic with very … Continue reading

Sydney Food Diary: Mad Spuds Cafe, Surry Hills

Poor Mad Spuds. Why was I so cruel? So prejudiced? With the uber-cool Four Ate Five right next door, and the inviting Organic Cafe a few doors down, I always thought this humble cafe looked a little down-market. With a … Continue reading
