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 →

Sydney Food Diary: L’Americano, Alexandria

Posted on 20 June 2019 by andyq

We were not going to fight with the crowds at The Grounds of Alexandria after dropping off our e-Waste on e-Waste disposal day (this was surprisingly satisfying to do). And while restaurants attached to stores can be hit and miss, … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Dove & Olive, Surry Hills

Posted on 19 June 2019 by andyq

Our gang from school usually meets at the Shakespeare but to try something different, we went to Dove and Olive. I like the name, which reminds me of all those pubs in London with the same theme – Slug and … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Rey’s Place, Darlinghurst

Posted on 18 June 2019 by andyq

Rey’s Place combines all my favourite things about dining in Sydney: new and unusual flavours or dishes; food that comes from somewhere, authentically; and fine dining – I like a casual meal too, but I like to when I can … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Paragon Hotel, Circular Quay

Posted on 15 June 2019 by andyq

If you live in Sydney, you know this place, even though you might not know that you know it. It’s the pub on the corner at Circular Quay next to and above the McDonalds. I must have passed it a … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Gami Chicken & Beer, Central Park Mall, Chippendale

Posted on 13 June 2019 by andyq

Reader. Yes: I was crying. We ordered the fried chicken, as recommended, where you get to choose two flavours. Correctly, I chose the original, because then you really get to appreciate the crispy coating. And they served it with a … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Gigi Pizzeria, Newtown

Posted on 8 June 2019 by andyq

There are a few things to love about this place. I absolutely adore that this is a vegan pizzeria that doesn’t really advertise as such. I didn’t see it on the walls of the restaurant, or signage, or the menu. … Continue reading →

Sydney Food Diary: Don’t Tell Aunty, Surry Hills

Posted on 30 May 2019 by andyq

So, we couldn’t get into SÁNG, as I didn’t know how tiny it is. I thought the shop (or restaurant?) on the corner was part of it, so was surprised, trying to get into this modern Korean restaurant, that there … Continue reading →
