Posted on 29 November 2019 by andyq

So, this place was fun. And if I start with describing the experience before the food, it’s because this was an EXPERIENCE. The food was tasty and interesting but took a second place to a really fun evening with friends … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Zan Bou, Chinatown

Posted on 23 November 2019 by andyq

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 →

Posted on 16 November 2019 by andyq

So, way back when Reynold Poernomo competed on Masterchef in 2015, we paid attention, for obvious reasons, if you saw the show. So, it’s great to see what a success he’s made for himself. Although we have been known to … Continue reading →

Posted on 12 November 2019 by andyq

Described as a Korean, Japanese, Asian Fusion restaurant, just opened on Foveaux Street in Surry Hills, I thought: what’s not to love about that? I’ve really developed a passion for modern Korean food lately from some excellent eateries in Sydney … Continue reading →

Coffee in Sydney: Pelican Hills, Surry Hills

Sydney Food Diary: Bayswater Kitchenette, Kings Cross

Posted on 15 October 2019 by andyq

It was good preparation to go to Bayswater Kitchenette before my vacation in Italy. The team (Broadsheet tells me it’s Glenda Lau, Alessia Bottini and Robert Patterson-Hyde) is serving up deceptively simple homestyle Italian food. The flavours are rich, savoury … Continue reading →
