I had a craving. My favourite Cantonese dish, from many different restaurants in Vancouver, is Beef Brisket Wonton Mein. It is a magical thing, with the super tender beef matched with plump wonton of prawn and pork (actually, I like … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Golden Lotus Vegan, Newtown

Posted on 18 November 2019 by andyq

Is it bad, when judging a vegan restaurant, to start the review with saying how impressed I was that their beef rendang really did taste like meaty deliciousness? But really, it was awesome. My dinner at Golden Lotus Vegan, as … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Soi 25 Thai Restaurant, Darlinghurst

Posted on 23 September 2019 by andyq

This to me seems a high form of bravery. Soi 25, a new Thai restaurant in Darlinghurst, has taken over the space of the old Darlinghurst branch of Spice I Am. I don’t know why Spice I Am closed up … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Bao Dao Taiwanese Kitchen, Chatswood

Posted on 22 September 2019 by andyq

Sydney Food Diary: BCD Tofu House, Epping

Posted on 20 September 2019 by andyq

It’s not like we get to Epping very often. But someone on Gumtree was selling some Krosno glasses that I hoped would complete our set, and they’ve stopped selling them at Myers. They were the right model but … shrunk. … Continue reading →

All hits, no misses at this new modern Korean restaurant in Surry Hills I read about Soul Dining in Urban Village and was surprised I’d missed it. It’s been open 8 months already, though our host, Kim, explained to us … Continue reading →

Posted on 5 July 2019 by andyq

There aren’t a lot of places in Surry Hills where you can get a lunch for $10 or under. So, Destination Roll was a nice surprise. There are about a dozen of these, all over Sydney, and I wonder if … Continue reading →
