sky phoenix, CBD
I do not have a bad word to say about Yum Cha. When the weekend swings around and I’m not craving breakfast at Reuben Hill, my other Sunday morning kickstarter is a trolley chase at my favourite yum cha restaurant. Sky Phoenix is the choice for today and though not the most authentic of the…

din tai fung dumpling bar, Sydney CBD
Din Tai Fung do some of the sweetest, neatest soup dumplings in the city however the overall menu at the restaurant in World Square is not as much of a favourite as Chef’s Gallery or New Shanghai. That’s why it’s perfect that the Din Tai Fung team have opened a dumpling bar in the Westfield…

palings kitchen, sydney CBD
I guess we all need a little makeover every now and then. A little booster. A little freshen up. And so it is that what use to be Mad Cow on Level 1 at the Ivy is now Palings Kitchen and Bar. In truth this is more then a little booster – more a complete…

china lane, sydney CBD
The group booking. I don’t know this as fact but I’m pretty sure that restaurants dread this as much as the diner stuck settling the bill at the end of a dinner for 20. The co-ordination of attendees, accommodating special meal requirements and allergies down to picking a venue that is going to set the…

mamak, sydney CBD
I am a sucker for a queue. Not a chaotic mess of a queue like Sunday at The Grounds, or the Food Tourist queue outside of Zumbo. What I am down with is an organised, systematic queue were people wait patiently and in a civilised manner for something that is plainly the best in town.…

the rook, sydney CBD
It’s Thursday night in the city – not exactly one of my usual haunts. I’m at 56 York Street standing in front of a non-descript office tower where I’m about to head to The Rook, the Lobster, Burger & Liquor Bar. Don’t let the boring foyer fool you, when you arrive at the Rooftop Bar…

ippudō, sydney cbd
Let’s start with the welcome to Ippudo. As the waitress walks you to the table you are greeted with a friendly welcome and a bellowing “Youkoso irasshai mashita”* from the staff in the kitchen. I’m down with any restaurant that cheers my arrival so this place is off to a tremendous start.

n2 extreme gelato, haymarket
Now this is the type of science I could get interested in. n2 Extreme Gelato in Haymarket is a godsend for those of us who are fearful of Asian desserts. You can load up on your favourite China Town special (Mamak, Golden Century or Chat Thai perhaps?), skip the crazy tapioca, jelly, custard concoction and…

chef’s gallery, sydney CBD
Saturday night at Chef’s Gallery. Potentially not the most original idea I’ve ever had. Certainly ain’t the most original blog post I’ve ever come up with as this joint seems to have featured on the publish list of every single foodie blogger in the city.

cafe nice, circular quay
Ooh la la. The Fratelli Fresh teams’ new French restaurant is all systems are go at their Circular Quay venue. Given I’m a regular to Café Sopra I’m feeling confident of a familiar experience with an easy shift from Italy to France. On a weekday lunch the room is filling nicely and the menu has…
