Love Dem Apples, Surry Hills

My favourite dessert discovery this week is Love Dem Apples! My friend Mel and I were walking to a restaurant in Surry Hills and got distracted by Love Dem Apples.

La Perla, Gladesville - NOW CLOSED

I've driven past La Perla several times over the last 5 years but I hadn't come in as there's always one person that doesn't like seafood or the odd vegetarian in my family. When I saw this big sign saying, they now serve wood fired pizzas - I thought it was a good time to check it out. Only they didn't serve wood fired pizzas when I got there. Whaaat? (I thought to myself)

 I had read a series of bad reviews on Zomato but most of them were old. I should have listen to my gut. I regret taking my family here.

My girlfriends and I decide to catch up in Strathfield at Ho Jiak for a nice, cheap and cheerful dinner. WOW, look at their new signature dish above which is the floating chopstick noodles.
