MoVida Sydney – Surry Hills, Spanish Restaurant Review

movida-eating-in-sydney-2852b

Life is full of lessons – I can’t believe I just opened a foodie blog post with that line – and one of the lessons I’ve been taught recently by a work colleague, is that the suburb of Surry Hill aint so bad. In fact, it is actually freaking great! After avoiding the suburb for far too long, I’ve only recently … Continue Reading

Lucio Pizzeria – Darlinghurst, Italian Restaurant Review

Lucio Pizzeria - Darlinghurst

Earlier this year I had the wonderful opportunity to spend a month in Europe and enjoy it’s many culinary delights. That included tasting the most amazing Margherita pizza ever, at Pizzeria Da Michele in Napoli, Italy. Since then I’ve been on the hunt for something similar here in Sydney. Now comparing local Sydney pizza, to what is quite possibly the best pizza … Continue Reading

Xanthi – Sydney CBD, Greek Restaurant Review

Xanthi-Westfield-Sydney-1213

Some restaurants you plan to go to and some you just end up at. Xanthi is the latter of the two. Our original plan was to dine at Jamie’s Italian on Pitt Street, but after being informed of the hour and a half long wait, we decided to head elsewhere. Fast forward 15mins and we were navigating the food court … Continue Reading

Din Tai Fung World Square – Sydney CBD, Chinese Restaurant Review

Din Tai Fung - Exterior

The name Din Tai Fung is synonymous with dumplings. Why? Because the international restaurant chain is said to make some of the tastiest dumplings in the world. But then again, statements like these are thrown around all the time in the food industry. At the end of the day, what it comes down to is how delicious and enjoyable the meal … Continue Reading

Sushi Hotaru – Sydney CBD, Japanese Restaurant Review

Sushi Hotaru - Sydney CBD

For a few months now, my work colleague had been telling me of this mythical Japanese restaurant, in Sydney’s CBD, where you could get plate after plate of fresh sushi for only $3 each. That’s right, $3 per plate. Bollocks! At first I didn’t believe him, but then he educated me on their unique business model where if you carry … Continue Reading

Daikichi Ramen – Haymarket, Japanese Restaurant Review

IMG_0975

One of things I love about Chinatown in Sydney’s CBD is the sheer number of restaurants available for you to dine at. No matter what night of the week, there is always something open. Where it gets tricky, though, is figuring out which restaurants are good and which ones to skip. And the best way to do that – apart … Continue Reading

Malacca Straits – Ultimo, Malaysian Restaurant Review

malacca-straits-hainanese-chicken-rice

In the words of Natalie Tran… Hi! I know it’s been a while since I last posted a review, but in my defence, I was away on holidays for a month. So I thought why not get back on track by posting a quick short review of a restaurant I’ve visited a number of times, but never took the time … Continue Reading

Nick’s Seafood – Darling Harbour, Restaurant Review

Blue Eye Cod Fillet

It had been a while since I had last visited Nick’s Seafood Restaurant in Darling Harbour. A full year in fact. Unlike Jordan’s Seafood Restaurant across the water, which has since closed down, Nick’s Seafood Restaurant is still just as busy as ever. Walking into restaurant you are very quickly engulfed by the buzz and chatter of a house full … Continue Reading

Sushi Rio – Sydney CBD, Japanese Restaurant Review

Sushi Rio - Tuna Nigiri

Sushi Rio is located on the southern end of Sussex Street in the Sydney CBD. Positioned right on the corner at Liverpool Street, the restaurant is adorned with large glass window panes and prominent ‘SUSHI RIO’ signage sitting behind them. The fittings are a beautiful mix of dark granite, deep blacks, brushed aluminium, combined with a striking large chandelier that makes … Continue Reading

Chefs Gallery – Sydney CBD, Chinese Restaurant Review

Chefs Gallery - Prawn & Pork Wontons in Sichuan Spicy Soup

Chefs Gallery is a Chinese restaurant located just around the corner from KFC on George Street in Sydney’s CBD. Despite the stiff competition from The Colonel (HAH!), Chefs Gallery does really well by offering some beautiful Modern Chinese cuisines that not only taste good, but are visually appealing as well. Speaking of visual appeal, I have to admit that I loved the … Continue Reading
