Moss Brothers, Kareela

I must confess, I rarely venture out down south but as I've been house hunting - I'm exploring new territory in Sydney. On a particularly warm day, Matt and I take a minor brunch break from house hunting and end up in a little shopping complex in Kareela. We end up at Moss Brothers.

House Bar and Bistrot, Potts Point

House Bar and Bistrot in Potts Point is a new European Eatery. The Australian Good Food Guide recommended I stop by and check out this new establishment. A short stroll from Kings Cross Station, House Bar and Bistrot is located among many residential houses.

Sushi Rio, Sydney CBD, Westfield

I've been to Sushi Rio many a time on Sussex st. So when my friend suggested we go to the Westfield one, I was eager to see whether this venue was as good as the Sussex one. I love a good sushi train.

Harvest Breakfast Buffet, The Star

About once a year, my family insists on a visit to the Harvest Buffet. On this occasion, we go for breakfast and there's a few more choices that I quite like.  I notice a few new things this time round. So what's on offer?

Nazimi, Sydney CBD

Nazimi is a hole in the wall Japanese restaurant in the Sydney CBD right nearby Town Hall. I've been here a few times and it's been a reliable Japanese meal. Matt and I head here for a casual dinner on Friday night. It's quite busy but we're able to get a table.

Basket Brothers, Parramatta

Matt and I head into North Parramatta for some brunch at Basket Brothers. I love a good brunch, particularly on a Sunday. It's quite busy as I walk in but we manage to get a table inside. The decore at Basket Brothers is modern and clean. I notice the big board that says Basket Brothers and the hanging hipster lights.

La Sen, Randwick

La Sen is a Vietnamese restaurant located in Randwick. It has such an extensive menu so there's something for everyone. On this particular lunch, I decide to order a few other dishes that I haven't tried before.

Yayoi, Sydney Westfield

Have you been to Yayoi? It's an authentic and traditional style kind of Japanese that enhances the senses and reminds you of Japan. The new Yayoi is located on level 6 of Sydney Westfield and I head here with a group of my foodies from FCBA.

Hide and Seek Cafe, Leichhardt - NOW CLOSED

 Hide and Seek Cafe is located in Leichhardt and has a simple menu. We all need a bit more simplicity in this complex world. The breakfast menu is served all day which is great if you like a good sleep in.

Ho Jiak, Haymarket

I'm a massive fan of Malaysian food and Ho Jiak in Strathfield so when I heard they were opening up another store in the city, I was very happy.   Head Chef, Junda inspired by his Grandma knows that fresh ingredients and bold flavours are the key to continuing her legacy.  The City store has a different menu though so here's the low down on what to order.

Butcher and Farmer x Dust, Tramsheds

Tram sheds in Glebe have been all the rage in the last few years and over the xmas and new year break - they've had a number of events on #cheerstothehosts. I stop by for Apertivo hour where there are special cocktail and snacks.

La Reina, Queen of Venezuelan Arepas, Newtown

Have you tried an Arepas before? The guys at the Australian Good Food Guide facilitated an introduction to this new venue. It's one of Venezuela's signature dishes when it comes to street food. Now I must confess that I am no expert when it comes to Venezuelan cuisine but I was eager to check it out. Matt also loves trying new things. Are you food adventurous?

Royal Carribean South Pacific Cruise Part 1

2017 has been an EPIC year and I thought that I could do with a very relaxing holiday. I've always seen those big cruise liners and wondered what it would be like to go on one so I booked one with MW. We booked a 9 night South Pacific Cruise with Royal Carribean. 

New Shanghai, Sydney CBD

I go through periods where I have serious cravings for dumplings. So I used the opportunity to catch up with a friend, I suggested we go to New Shanghai for dinner. My friend is not as familiar with Chinese cuisine so I happily order for us.

Mejico, Sydney CBD

After a few boozey drinks with one of my gal friends; it was approaching 9pm and we hadn't eaten anything. We started walking and managed to get a table at Mejico. I hadn't been here for years so I was happy to check it out. 

Green Peppercorn, Fairfield

Green Peppercorn is known for delicious Thai food in Fairfield - the original venue. The venue has since expanded into the city. It's quite a large venue in Fairfield but still has a big line on the weekend.
