Sydney Food Diary: Lucky Pickle, Surry Hills

Posted on 25 January 2018 by andyq

Lucky Pickle is hidden away, around the corner from Crown Street, and I’m surprised I’ve never stumbled across it (as I managed to stumble across Paddock next door). It’s a tiny hole in the wall serving up tasty sandwiches and … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Ginkgo Bar & Dining

Posted on 25 January 2018 by andyq

I looked up Harbin. It is in the far northeast corner of China. Like really far. So cold that it’s famous for an ice festival, and close to Russia to have some cultural influence (though probably not electoral influence…). In … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Raita Noda, Surry Hills

Posted on 25 January 2018 by andyq

I knew we were in for a special meal, but Raita Noda exceeded any expectations. A wonderful omakase, with some highlights, some great matching drinks and an intimacy, not too close, but enough to feel treated to a great experience. … Continue reading →

Coffee in Sydney: Whole Meal Cafe, Taylor Square

Posted on 24 January 2018 by andyq

First of all, props to the Whole Meal Café for opening up right at Taylor Square with an offering of healthy food (‘Vegan!’ shouts their chalkboard). This isn’t a spot I’d expect nutrition, surrounded by so much alcohol and decadence. … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Gogyo, Surry Hills

Posted on 21 January 2018 by andyq

Oh, I wanted to like this so much: ramen, regional ramen, and a dish I’ve never tried before. Plus it’s in my ‘hood, taking over from Salaryman (with its slightly objectionable theme and decor but really very good food). And … Continue reading →

Coffee in Sydney: Two Good Eggs Cafe, Surry Hills

Posted on 17 January 2018 by andyq

Two Good Eggs does a cracking business, meaning I should have a breakfast and see what the fuss is about. But I just wanted a coffee, after doing some chores in the ‘hood. It’s got a nice view of Harmony … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Chinese Noodle Restaurant, Chinatown

Posted on 17 January 2018 by andyq

My marketing advice to the Chinese Noodle Restaurant is that when you’ve got a relatively Unique Selling Point (USP, kill me now, I know) you should flaunt it. Why hide under such a generic name like Chinese Noodle Restaurant when … Continue reading →
