Food Diary 2011

Mini gelatos and petit fours after a gold degustation dinner at Captain Cook Cruise. Beautiful food, which includes the friendliest service, canapes and sparkling wine on arrival and the best breads to start. I'm serious the bread is amazing! haha, and just the way I like it (soft, warm, white and delicious). Depart from Circular Quay on sunset and circling the water for 3 hours. Such a lovely & magical ride. Would love to do it again soon. I love cruises dinners/lunch/high tea anything :)

I had a beautiful degustation dinner (with matching wines) on my birthday at the magnificent Altitude restaurant, Shangrila Sydney. The view is breathtaking, This is the beautiful chocolate dessert that end a very memorable meal :)

From Ms G's, Potts Point : Packaged cocktails
-Good Morning Vietnam $14
Shochu, raspberries, lime, palm sugar, Vietnamese mint, soda
-Ms G’s Famous Yuzu Slushee $14
Limoncello, Russian Standard vodka, yuzu juice, Regan’s orange bitters
And Mini crisp pork belly buns.
Afterwards we also ordered the packaged Pina Colada which has pearls in them (similar to those pearls you find in milk teas). Oh, How brilliant is the idea of the packaged cocktails?
Ms G is my new favourite restaurant in Sydney. The food is of modern Asian, and the menu and coctails are interesting, playful and quirky. The decor of the restaurant is adorable and I love the foods (to death) !

"Enter through a door bathed in pink neon to find four floors of unexpected dining; including a graffiti wall, communal tables and even a veggie garden courtyard."

“Stoner’s Delight 2.0” doughnut ice cream, peanut butter, raspberry jam, candied bacon, potato chips, mars bar slice, banana fritter, from Ms G's .
This dessert tastes fabulous and so interesting and clever! I couldn't stop smiling eating them. And I love the candied bacon :)


at Stuzzi Bar/Spiedo Restaurant, Westfield Sydney .
Homemade strozzapreti, wild boar ragout &
Fettuccine, prawns, zucchini, tomato.
My other new favourite restaurant:) Their pastas are so so so so so delicious and out of this world!

Breakfast at Cafe Ish, one of my favourite places for coffee/breakfast/lunch. The place is pretty close to where I live and It serves native australian & japanese food. The menu is very interesting, including crocodile sausage, karaage crab omelettle, kangaroo&prawn gyoza, saltbush lamb sliders, smokey soy caramel wagyu short-rib, chocolate risotto, etc etc etc. Wow Wow Wow!

I had this (freaking fantasting) porkrib at Cairo Cafe, an African restaurant at Cremorne Sydney. This is the first time I've ever been to an African restaurant and OMG I can't fault the food AT ALL, I had a prawn entree which is so good and a mint tea ice cream with rose syrup for dessert which is seriously the best ice cream eva!

Salad of Buffalo mozarella & Tomato at Cafe Sopra, Walsh Bay.
The tomatos are very juicy :) My favourite salad ...(I know not exactly a healthy one) (I don't care).
I love Cafe Sopra. The foods (and pastas :p) are so good and the portion is very filling :)!! I used to go to Waterloo for it. Now they have one just across to Sydney Dance Co!

Bucatini alla carbonara at Cafe Sopra, Walsh Bay.
This is my favourite version of a carbonara pasta. The sauce is not too heavy which is nice. So you can eat alot without feeling sick :)

Linguini with lemon, chilli, and pangrattato at Cafe Sopra.
No bacon, no prawn, no meat, nothing, but is so good!!!
Pangrattato is some sorts of crunchy breadcrumbs :)

Banoffee Pie (take away from Cafe Sopra). Unbelievably good. THE BEST of THE BEST!

Appetito Pizza Pasta Bar, The Rocks. Fried calamari, soft shell crab and school prawns with roasted garlic aioli.
Love fried stuffs esp with lemon and garlicy mayonaisse :) The calamari is so tender and lightly crisp. The aioli Oh My God I wish I can dip any fried foods into this. I would be a very happy and satisfied woman :)

Appetito Pizza Pasta Bar, The Rocks. Potato gnocchi, alaskan king crab, tomato and cream.
This doesn't look too great visually but this pasta tastes so much yummier than it looks.... :) the gnocchi melt in your mouth..OOHH MANN I love beautiful pasta ssss!!!

Ichiban Boshi, The Galleries Victoria. Ramen with roast pork, corn, butter, deep fried tofu.
I love ramen (or anything !! ) with butter :) this place has great ramens ...and cheap too. It is just next to Kinokuniya bookstore which I frequently visit. Food & Books. What else do I need? :) (booze & a man lol)

Korean food. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
(Chilli chicken with cheese, Pork belly, Korean Seafood pancake)

Italian food at Glebe (Calamari, Prawn, Bruschetta). This time didn't order pasta hehe ^^

LL Wine & Dine, Potts point, a very cool place to eat.
(Wok fried rice, Prawn & pork wonton, Crumbed soft shell crab with wasabi mayonnaise, Crisp duck pancake with orange-y sauce, Crab springroll).!!So, This address was formerly an illegal adult bookshop and gambling den. When the current restaurant owners cleaned things up, they found bags of vintage porno magazines which they then decided to pasted them on one part of the wall. Good decision I say because it gives the place an erotic twist (lol I can't believe I just said that) and I always love a place with an interesting history :) The food is amazing of course! and they have live singer+musician & awesome coctail jugs during sunday yumcha brunch.


I also went to the Easter show last year and basically what I did all day was ate. I had so much fun! :)
Choc banana on a stick

Curly fries with sour cream and sweet chilli. How cute right.

Fried strawberry cheesecake :)

Hmm Yumm!

Country women's fresh warm scones

Oysters and a glass of white from De Costi oyster and wine bar

Ps : I also ate a hotdog, fresh fruit salad from the farm, sample a few cheese and a mini pie from the deli. And bought myself a cotton candy to eat on the way home ^^. Forgot to get some Easter egg chocolates for my flatmate :(
