Posted on 11 August 2019 by andyq

A Saturday morning and we weren’t sure where to take our friends from Adelaide for breakfast. Paramount downstairs was packed. So, then we see the sign to take us all the way up to the rooftop (perhaps we should have … 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 29 July 2019 by andyq

Mini-break! We headed down to the Southern Highlands, nearly two hours outside of Sydney, for a winter escape and a continued birthday celebration (for me). I did a bit of research and saw that Birch has not been open a … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Jambo Jambo, Glebe

Posted on 12 July 2019 by andyq

Ethiopian food is not easily found in Sydney. In other cities I’ve lived in or passed through, there is usually an Ethiopian restaurant or two. I last ate at one in Paris and was reminded of the magical combination of … Continue reading →

I really loved the vibe of this place, open and airy and a very high ceiling. It seemed like the crowd were regulars, and that there was a nice vibe between staff and customers. And if you’ve read my reviews, … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: The Butler, Potts Point

Posted on 9 July 2019 by andyq

What I remember about Mezzaluna, The Butler’s predecessor, was that it was formal and fancy. It was there for 20 years! The vibe I got from The Butler was very different: light, airy and casual, and a beautiful outlook over … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Lorraine’s Patisserie, CBD

Posted on 7 July 2019 by andyq

This patisserie, tucked away in the CBD, looks fantastic, and the reviews (many of them) are so good, I’ll have to come back to try some of their cake. It is charming to watch the industry of the open kitchen, … 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 →

Coffee in Sydney: Saint George, Chippendale

Posted on 3 July 2019 by andyq

I like anything that makes a city more beautiful. And for some reason, this tiny strip of Chippendale between Railway Square and the Central Park shopping complex is particularly ugly. Inexpensive restaurants and a few pubs in the next block … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Fortune Village Chinese Restaurant, CBD

Posted on 21 June 2019 by andyq

It’s second nature for Asian people to take over ordering the food in Asian restaurants. It’s both experience and control issues. In any case, I was rather pleased that my pals turned over the ordering to me at Fortune Village. … Continue reading →
