Sydney Food Diary: Harajuka Gyoza, Potts Point

Posted on 11 October 2016 by andyq

If I don’t have any photos of the food at Harajuku Gyoza, it’s because it seems almost besides the point. I mean, it was tasty. I liked the duck gyoza. The eggplant was delicious. Crisp little pieces of chicken karaage. … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Blossoming Lotus, Newtown

Posted on 11 October 2016 by andyq

Many years ago, when I worked in Newtown, before my weekly reiki practice sessions, I would often eat with a colleague, who was vegetarian. This was probably our favourite place. I’m glad to see it’s still around, well-loved by Zomato, … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Maggie’s, Potts Point

Posted on 11 October 2016 by andyq

After seeing a show at the Hayes Theatre (Side Show, very enjoyable), my better half suggested we eat a schnitzel. Una’s or Maggie’s? I asked. Maggie’s was closer. A venerable institution and not on quite as busy a strip as … Continue reading →

Posted on 9 October 2016 by andyq

Kawa is an institution, and I have drunk a lot of coffees from here in my time, though I think I had a phase of chai latte too… The tables outside are, to me, what Surry Hills is all about, … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Tigerbakers, Darlinghurst

Posted on 6 October 2016 by andyq

Victoria Street in Darlinghurst is a strange combination of businesses that have been there forever (hello Tropicana) and other storefronts that seem to be constantly changing. There are a few higher-end restaurants, quite a few casual places, and a number … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Goshu Ramen Tei, CBD

Posted on 6 October 2016 by andyq

When I meet my pal Ben for lunch in the City, we wander up from the top end of Kent Street to this little place at the corner of York and Jamison. It has outside seating, has been quite busy … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Chez Sun, Darlinghurst

Posted on 1 October 2016 by andyq

I don’t mind being proved wrong at all. I had cruelly passed by this cafe many times. Why? Well, there are so many options in the neighbourhood, for coffee and lunch, and when it first opened, it was so empty … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Muum Maam, Barangaroo

Posted on 1 October 2016 by andyq

If you’ve stumbled across my post on Muum Maam in Surry Hills, you’d know that I think it’s one of the best Thai restaurants in Sydney, though unsung. It doesn’t get the same attention as a number of other Thai … Continue reading →
