Posted on 28 April 2019 by andyq

Now, this was a surprise. And such a surprise that I didn’t get proper photos of all the dishes we tried, nor of the venue. It was a fairly impromptu reunion of old friends, in a part of the city … Continue reading →

Drinking in Sydney: Corridor, Newtown

Posted on 27 April 2019 by andyq

Buzzy, hip and crowded. Who cares about reviews? (a review from August 2016, scroll down for an update). Corridor has a good look about it, the open frontage revealing a shiny bar, and in back and upstairs, classic Newtown: it … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Rustic Pearl, Surry Hills

Posted on 25 April 2019 by andyq

It was great to be to show friends from overseas, Canadians who are living in Penang, a bit of Surry Hills’s cafe culture. Our mission was to find vegan food for one of the party, and for some reason, because … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Big Daddy’s Burger Bar, Darlinghurst

Posted on 24 April 2019 by andyq

There was no way that we were ordering the food on offer at Karaoke World on Elizabeth Street. It looked nasty and overpriced. But, wow, were we ever hungry after an exhausting session of karaoke for Justin’s birthday. And I’d … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Nudge Cafe, Surry Hills

Posted on 19 April 2019 by andyq

Sometimes you pass by places because they just seem too easy to get to! Nudge is a cafe that I pass all the time on my way to Aldi or Vintage Cellars or the discount pharmacy in Oxford Village Square, … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Blackwattle Cafe, Sydney Fish Market

Posted on 7 April 2019 by andyq

We usually try to come early to the fish market, and at breakfast time, I really don’t feel like hoeing into the fish and chips. So, Blackwattle Deli is really the only choice. Good thing they’re good! They have a … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary, Kanzi Cafe, Chinatown

Posted on 4 April 2019 by andyq

When I mentioned to Weekend Food Escapes that I have a fondness for Taiyaki, the Japanese fish-shaped waffles, filled with sweet red bean paste or some other such filling, she pointed me in the direction of the Kanzi Cafe. I’ve … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Belly Bao, Newtown

Posted on 1 April 2019 by andyq

Wow. Currently a 4.6 out of 5 rating on Zomato. That’s ridiculously high. I was impressed but this tells me something about their broad appeal. I love Asian food, and I’m often intrigued by Asian fusion food, so to serve … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Sticky Fingers Kitchen and Bar, Surry Hills

Posted on 27 March 2019 by andyq

I don’t know it took me so long to try out Sticky Fingers, just a block back from Oxford Street along the strip. It’s super close to where I live, and I’d heard rumours it was good. Now I’ve managed … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: McDonalds, 600 George Street

Posted on 26 March 2019 by andyq

OK. Strike me dead. I don’t know why McDonald’s is advertising in my social media feed, and the worst thing of course, is that I succumbed. I’ve always had a soft spot for Macca’s breakfasts, and the idea of a … Continue reading →
