- Review: Mad Cow for March Into Merivale – Sydney, CBD
Fresh from stuffing ourselves at the launch of March into Merivale, Ms. Taste and I return to Mad Cow to try one of their $33 meal deals.
Although no Bentley ride is offered this time around, Ms. Taste and I are instead joined by a ragtag bunch of steak lovers hankering for a nice juicy [...]
- Luke Nguyen’s Fat Noodle @ Star City – Pyrmont
For the last week or so, I’ve been watching episodes from Luke Nguyen’s Vietnam to hype myself up for the launch of Fat Noodle, a joint collaboration between Luke Nguyen and Star City. It’s foodie travel shows like these that make me wonder why Smell-a-vision hasn’t been invented yet – or better yet, Taste-a-vision. Now [...]
- Review: Xage – Surry Hills
Cheap and cheerful.
That was the only stipulation I gave my girlfriends when deciding where to eat for our Friday night catchup: somewhere we could get a table without waiting and get change for a $50.
Xage (pronounced ‘Sage’) was our answer.
Hailed by many as the new Phamish, Xage is located on the ever accessible Crown Street [...]
- Cryogenic Sorbets & Cocktails @ Zeta Bar – Sydney CBD
Friday night… it’s been a long week, it’s hot as hell and you’re longing for somewhere cool to cut loose for the weekend. Where should you go?
Zeta Bar is redefining the way Sydneysiders wind down on a Friday night with the launch of an innovative menu of ‘cryogenic’ sorbets and cocktails. Remember Richard Blais’ wacky [...]
- Rockpool Bar & Grill – Sydney CBD
I can’t tell you how excited I was when I landed a last minute booking at Rockpool Bar & Grill. I could hardly keep it together that day, thinking about the fabulous dinner I was having that night. I’ve been hearing rave reviews all year, with many praising Rockpool to be the toast of 2009.
We [...]
- Sugarcane – Surry Hills
When I’m trying to work out where to go for a meal, I turn to my hit list of restaurants to try, built up from personal recommendations and favourable reviews. Right now, the list stands at 28 and growing. I don’t think I could ever clear this list, it seems that for every one I [...]
- Sugar Hit at The Grace Hotel – Sydney CBD
Another year, another chance to check out what the top restaurants in Sydney have to offer as part of the Sydney International Food Festival (formerly known as Good Food Month).
A big highlight on the calendar of festivities is Sugar Hit, which affords foodies a dessert and glass of Brown Brothers wine (or Hennessy cognac) for [...]
- Azuma Kushiyaki – Sydney
My good friend, Epicurean Explorer and I visited Azuma Kushiyaki not long after it opened earlier this year. While we found the food to be quite good, we were less than impressed by their $35 per person minimum spend for dinner. Especially when we were shown the fine print after taking our seats.
We didn’t think [...]
- Sydney Fish Markets – Pyrmont
I have a love/hate relationship with the Sydney Fish Markets. What I loathe (the crowds, the awful parking, the tourists) is enough to drive me away and never return, and yet, what I love about it (the oysters, fresh sashimi, lobsters) makes me fall in love all over again.
