Grill'd, Macquarie Centre

I came here with my friend Kneeha and we bonded over burgers baby and a sneaky corona. Another consistent experience at Grill'd. The meat is well cooked with all the trimmings.

Well cooked chips seasoned that go down well with a beer. A good consistent burger joint but yet to rival Chur Burger. Chur Burger is Burger Heaven. You can check out my review here

The floor was a bit slippery and my friend almost tripped. Perhaps a bit more care about the floor and hygiene is required if they want to avoid accidents.

Price: About 15 per burger.

Our Place on Darling, Balmain

Are you looking for a cosy restaurant with excellence customer service and some tasty delights?  Check out what I ordered on this particular night.  Our Place on Darling is a child friendly restaurant which may or may attract you to this venue. I was looking for a nice restaurant in Balmain and read some pretty nice reviews on Urbanspoon.

I thought the staff were very helpful and provided just the right amount of attention.

The highlight of the night was the dessert.  Both the honeycomb cheesecake and the mango and passionfruit semifreddo were awesome.  Let's talk about the other parts of the meal.

Complimentary soup - Potato and Cauliflower

A nice way to start the evening was the complimentary soup taster.  It was smooth and creamy in texture.  I also ordered the entree below which was the Saganaki.  The bread was really soft. The cheese was nice with the chilli and tomato sauce (which I didn't really taste the chilli in).

Saganaki - Panfried greek sheep's cheese, chilli and tomato chutney and flat bread - $12

Confit duck leg, duck fat potatoes. goat cheese, beetroot, rocket $25

The two mains were the duck and their special espetada.  The duck was nice if not slightly dry.  The espetada is perfect if you are a meat lover and wedges lover. I think the wedges could have used a bit of seasoning.

The special - Espetada - Skewered beef fillet chunks, with red wine sauce and hand cut chips, salad - $25 mid week

Mango & Passionfruit Pavlova Semifreddo $12

As I mentioned earlier, the dessert was the absolute highlight for the night. I would love to come back and try the other desserts.

Honeycomb cheesecake, lemon curd, vanilla ice cream $12

Misschu CBD Tuckshop, Sydney CBD

Fresh, clean, consistent, trendy but overpriced. I'd still come back though. Why do you ask?

Sometimes you just want something different. I think being Vietnamese makes me a harsh critic so here are my thoughts.  Not all the food at Miss Chu is vietnamese or traditional as such.  It's more of a clean, asian fushion trendy snack shop.  I agree with the other bloggers and reviewers where people say it's over priced and may not be as taste competitive with some of the places in China Town.  But I would come back.

So I would come back because it's right next to my favourite bar and I love Asian food.

Prawn and Scallop Dumpling $7

The dumplings are tasty, consistent and cooked well. They don't rival the freshness of the yum cha at the fish markets though!  They also came out quite quickly.

Vegetarian dumplings $7

BBQ Pork Buns $2.5 each

The pork buns are tasty and are not dry.  Just perfectly cooked. The spring rolls are a bit different than your norm.  If you like a lot of fried crisp then definitely give it a go.

Hanoi Vegetarian Net Spring Rolls (4 per serve) - $6

Prawn and Mango Rice Paper Rolls $7.5

The fresh rolls were okay. I couldn't really taste the mango but the hit of herbs and prawns was evident.

Check out this place but I wouldn't recommend it for dinner. It's more of a snack stop shop.  I think they should improve the ordering and picking up food system as well. You basically order your food then they yell out your name.  It was a bit annoying but not annoying enough to keep me away!

El Loco at Slip Inn, Sydney

I just want to go back to El Loco. I have a slight addiction I think. Luckily one of my friends had birthday drinks at the Slip Inn which gave me an opportunity to try their fries, salsa/dip with corn chips and indulge in those tacos. This is my favourite booze food.

After a few vodka cranberries, the food was probably more tasty because of the inherent tipsiness that ensued. My favourite salsa/dip is still probably at Mexico in Surry Hills (which has since closed) but these snacks are still good.

Fries with chipotle sauce - Chipotle fries served with chipotle mayo $ 7

Salsa, avocado and corn chips - Corn chips with Guacamole and salsa  $6

Tacos! $6 each (slightly more than the Sussex version)

Art of Gelato Michelangelo, Easter show

I've been told that the Art of Gelato Michaelangelo is a very popular chain with a store in Fairfield that would rival the hype and quality of the more famous Gelato Messina.

A salted caramel ice cream from Art of Gelato Michelangelo was just what the doctor ordered which was followed by a good dose of Wood Chopping with some good company at the Easter Show.  The salted caramel ice cream was tasty but I think I have to go back to try all the other flavours.  There was quite a line but the whole easter show is crowded and full of children.

Ice cream is the bomb.  Forget the frozen yoghurt craze. This ice cream cost me $5

Easter show food - Waffle Dog, Sydney

Did you go to the Eastershow and eat lots of ridiculously tasty but unhealthy treats like cheese on a stick? Pluto Stick (fried hot dog)?  Did you try this years' waffle dog?

I personally avoid all these sorts of treats but a large part of me was wondering what the new waffle dog was like. For $5 at the Carousel Cafe, you can have a waffle dog which is a hot dog encased in a waffle batter.  You have the option of having maple syrup or tomato sauce to accompany the treat.

The verdict?  Waffles and hot dogs do not complement one another and this does not taste good. However if you just want another hit/dose of heart attack than go ahead !  

Yoghurtland, George St, Sydney

As a inexperienced frozen yoghurt eating blogger, I'll tell you about my experience.  I stumbled in here slightly tipsy with a friend who likes frozen yoghurt.  The young man running the store was very polite and when I started bombarding him with questions about the different flavours - he was only happy to tell me which flavours were horrible tasting and which ones were ok to tasty.  I tried a few flavours before just settling for a taro and a chocolate one.  I topped up with strawberries, lychee balls, oreos, brownie and chocolate flakes.  It was a nice treat but not amazing.

In my current state, I was also very perplexed and confused about the messages on the yoghurt cups.  Cows do not dream of pushing out frozen yoghurt from their utters. In my cow dreams, the cows use mascara on their long eye lashes and dream of making ice cream - the real dessert. None of this frozen yoghurt bull shit fake dessert.

For the two yoghurts below it was $10.

A few people have said to me that Yogurtberry is way better than yoghurtland.  Given I am not a big fan of frozen yoghurt (in Australia at least); I don't know if I can really comment.  Come by and give this place a go.  Ask the staff which flavours are good and taste the yoghurt and judge for yourself.
