Delisse has a number of venues across Sydney including one right near my work in Wynyard. I recently find out they have opened up in Westfield Parramatta. While there are menu similarities, the Delisse in Parramatta offers up Crepes.
Ali Baba Kebabs was established in Canberra in 1979! Holy Moly that's 40 years ago. Now there are 46 stores in Australia. Now they are celebrating their 40th birthday in 2019 with a huge promotion where you can scratch your way to big prizes. Matt and I are in our local shopping centre and decide to stop by in the food court to check out Ali Baba.
Have you ever thought - I really need to treat myself? As I was leisurely shopping in Rhodes - this very thought came to myself and I indulged my senses at Pasticceria Caruso. You just need to take a closer look before you realise all the delicious treats available.
Point 99 is located in Macquarie Centre. I've walked past Point 99 so many times and it's never really sparked any interest. It was only after reading a few reviews online about their burgers that I decided to check it out on a whim.
Next stop on the Taste Food Tour is a visit to the Sussex Centre Food Court. The group are all big fans of Korean Fried Chicken. I have been to the Sussex centre food court a few times and have often been tempted to head to Sparrow's Mill Express as it's famous for it's Korean fried chicken. I've had the pleasure of tasting this chicken in Strathfield before.
Din Tai Fung is hard to resist when I'm in the Westfield Pitt St fancy food court. I hadn't been to DTF for a while so I go back to see if the food is still consistently good, tasty and top notch as I remember.
If you've ever been to Japan, you would recognise the super giant Japanese bento brand "Hotto Motto". They are the largest bento box eatery in Japan. They are known for their healthy rice in their bento boxes. They are now in Sydney, Australia!!
Gozleme is a popular dish that I usually eat at festivals or at an event but I've noticed Gozleme King is fast expanding across Sydney. I try it for the first time in Rhodes.
I must confess I was feeling a bit hung over after a big night out drinking with MW. I rarely drink that much so my liver got a good work out! So the next day, MW and I go for some comfort food in Rhodes to make us feel better.
I've been working in the city for some time and I'm still exploring different lunch options. As I walk around chinatown this one particular time, I head into the Sussex Centre and find a new regular spot to head to.
I've been eating some heavy meals recently so I need to eat a bit lighter. I head to Sushi Hub in Queen Victoria Building for a quick take away bite to eat. Sushi is a nice lighter meal that's high in protein.
So being a food blogger, some of my work mates might think that I would be too snobby for a meal at Maccas. I still have a weakness for Maccas despite the vast variety of choices in Sydney.
The Maccas at Darling Quarter is pretty decent. The staff are pretty good and the venue is clean. My only fear is of the seagulls and ibis birds that seem to attack anyone with food outside the venue. DO NOT FEED THE BIRDS PEOPLE! PLEASE.
Apparently it's the 10 year anniversary for Sushi Hub in October 2016. Happy Birthday!! They have some competitions going on throughout October 2016 if you're keep to one of 27,600 prizes including a trip to Japan, sushi donuts or other food prizes. I love Japan. I hope I win.
I have been eating more sushi and sashimi recently for lunch. It makes me feel a bit lighter. I go for a walk to Sushi Hub in central and an epic long line at Sushi Hub. You know that the produce must be fresh as they go through massive turn over.
I've heard so many great things about Gumshara and their ramen. On a cooler day, I decide to break my Gumshara virginity and see if their reputation lives up to the reality.
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.
Quickie Review: I've been on the look out for a regular sushi take away for work. I'm a good walk away from any decent food hubs but sometimes it's worthwhile for the walk. I head to the galleries food court this time and see a long time of people for Sushi Hub.
