Am I behind? Like really, really behind? I stumble on these reviews for the Devon which went from one location on Surry Hills to another on Danks Street. By the time, I try it, hidden in that strip of restaurants … Continue reading →

Food Diary: Gantry, Sydney

Posted on 7 August 2015 by andyq

Let’s make this clear right off. That ox cheek was delicious. With some cute little shimeji mushrooms, togarashi spice, and ‘smooth’ potatoes. Well, I’m not sure I even noticed the potatoes much. The cheek was tender and melty and delicious. … Continue reading →

Food Diary: Stinking Bishops, Sydney

Posted on 7 August 2015 by andyq

Hipster paradise, here at Stinking Bishops. The waiters were hip and Inner West. The patrons looked like they were in the know. The first times I’d looked, they seemed to close early in the day, but I believe demand is … Continue reading →

Food Diary: Chicken Institute, Sydney

Posted on 7 August 2015 by andyq

I’d say this is the most elegant Bibimbap that I’ve ever had. Barely any rice at all (but lovely purple rice hidden underneath the centre) and mostly an explosion of colours and fresh and picked veg. It was delicious. I … Continue reading →

Food Diary: Quay, Sydney

Posted on 13 July 2015 by andyq

Quay surpassed any expectations that I had of it. Currently sitting at #58 in the World’s Best Restaurant list, it’s one of the few high-end Australian restaurants that I haven’t tried in my time here. It’s been on my list… … Continue reading →

Food Diary: Dodee Paidang, Haymarket, Sydney

Posted on 7 July 2015 by andyq

Dodee Paidang seems to be most infamously known for its Tom Yum soups, with noodles, that come in ratings from 0 (something like ‘infantile’) to 5 (volcano). The first time wewent here, we had a 3. It was so spicy, … Continue reading →

Posted on 5 July 2015 by andyq

Between trying out the Knafeh bakery yesterday and returning to Cafe Shenkin a few days ago for lunch, the theme of the first week in July of 2015 seems to be Israel. And why not? I’ve never visited the country, … Continue reading →
