China Doll, Woolloomoolloo
Being of Chinese heritage, we don’t go out to eat at Chinese restaurants as often as one might think. I’m a big fan of the cheap, no-frills Chinese restaurant for a good noodle feed or family yum cha, however we seldom dine at restaurants on the higher end of the price spectrum. But the iconic…
Bang Tang, Potts Point
Sometimes even the most unnoticeable places can gift you with surprises. Bang Tang is a case in point. It’s a little hole in the wall café that delivers Asian fusion food with a bang. Bang Tang has a small but welcoming presence in the quieter area of Llankelly Place, just off Kings Cross. It’s very…
Tim Ho Wan, Burwood
When Michelin-starred Tim Ho Wan opened it’s very first Sydney restaurant in Chatswood early last year, dim sum fans came from far and wide to get a taste of those revered dumplings and thatfamous bbq pork bun. Since then, a smaller takeaway store has opened in Westfield Sydney’s level 5 food court and most recently,…
Izakaya Samurai, Neutral Bay
It used to seem to me that Japanese restaurants fell into either the higher-priced, contemporary dining category (Sokyo and Sakecome to mind) or were fast, cheap eateries which offered sushi trains and bento boxes. Izakaya Samurai falls into neither of these stereotypes. With traditional classics on the menu alongside fusion, east-meets-west style fare, it is…
New Shanghai, Ashfield
Xiao long bao, those immaculately shaped pork dumplings bursting with steaming hot porky broth, are perhaps the most famous type of dumpling in Sydney. Din Tai Fung offers the holy grail of pork dumplings, with each crafted to a precise weight and diameter and filled with tasty pork marbled with gelatinous bits, have mouths drooling…
Why I love Asian Bakeries: Part 2, Emperor’s Garden Cake & Bakery
So do you want to know another reason why I love Asian bakeries? I said in my first post here that it’s because there is a myriad of weird and wonderful creations that you can find in them, sort of like a bakery museum! One of the other things I love about Asian (Chinese) Bakeries is their…
Why I love Asian Bakeries: Part 1
Step into an Asian bakery, it’s walls lined with plastic display cases that showcase neatly lined rows of golden baked goods, and it becomes clear that this is not the average run-of-the-mill Australian bakery. No, not the kind where a shop assistant is the main connection between the customer and the product. This is a…
Pho Hoang Gia, Flemington
With the close or relocation of one of our favourite Flemington eateries, we were left bewildered one Saturday lunchtime as to where we were to eat lunch. Sure, there are heaps of cheap and fulfilling restaurants in Flemington where one can slurp down steaming bowls of pho or much away on stir fried noodles, but…
The Bulgogi, Chatswood
Bulgogi is widely known in the culinary world as a Korean dish of grilled, marinated thin slices of beef. But, contrary to popular belief, it may also refer to something else. The direct translation of this term from Korean means ‘fire’ (bul) and ‘meat’ (gogi), hence the other meaning of this famous beef dish, which points right back to its origins –…
