Harvest Buffet, The Star - A revisit

 

The Harvest Buffet is a popular buffet at The Star Casino. I am told to make a reservation before hand which I'm glad I did as it's incredibly popular. 

I decide to visit on a Saturday for lunch (12pm-3pm) which costs $69.90 for an adult. It's $39.90 for a child aged 5-12 years old. The lunch on the weekend has a smaller selection of seafood versus the "premium" buffet for dinner.

Mr Wong, Sydney CBD

 

This is a delayed blog post! I was fortunate enough to enjoy a group dinner at Mr Wong.

Radley's has opened up in Sydney Metcentre for over a year now. It's become a bit of a go-to for some of the folks in my office for lunch or after work drinks. It's been some time since I've come back but I head for some lunch with a friend who also works nearby.

Din Tai Fung, Gateway Circular Quay

I have many friends or co-workers who love dumplings. From time to time, I have dumpling dates with my friends. It's just hard to find the time - I head to Din Tai Fung at Gateway for one of my dumpling dates. From the few reviews I've read, this particular Din Tai Fung has lower ratings than other venues.

There's people flowing in and out of the cafe for coffees.
