Fish was soft and tender....melted through the fork and knife.....crunchy batter.......super yummy.........

Prawn Cakes and Fish Dumplings

Battered Hoki and Salad - 5.5 stars (highly recommended)

Prawn Cakes- 4.5 stars

Fish Dumplings - 3.5 stars


Overall this place is highly recommended......good service, very polite.......your looked after........will definitely be back .........fish is awesome......a bit pricy, but its really good as I said.....best I've had so far.......

Papi Chulo

During the Merivale Food Festival we ventured off to Manly and ate at Papi Chulo.  the menu special is good during this time. 

Free-range maple black pepper pork belly 

Nice and yummy- I do like my pork really soft, but it was tender - needed to be more tender for my liking. 

The Ribs - Pork with smokey BBQ sauce 

They were nice, the sauce was delicious but I have had better. 

Overall this place has a great atmosphere , good location and the rest of there menu looks good, so will definitely go back to sample more of their food. 

so how do I rate their food 

Pork - 4 stars out of 6 

Ribs- 4 stars out of 6 

Fare Nosh

Another food safari adventure, this time it's with my partner......living in the summer hill area we decided to support our little town instead of venturing off to the CBD. We chose a little place called Fare Nosh. 

Plat du jour - special 

This changes on a weekly basis, but we sampled some Tom Yum Prawns, Seared Scallop with wasabi aioli, Sugar Cured Salmon Spring Roll,  If your not overly hungry, this is a meal in its self- $19.95 ....bargain. 

Pork Belly in Pear Sauce 

Another bargain for 19.90, the pork had this thick crunchy piece of  crackling on the piece of pork which was delicious, the meat was cooked good- but could have been a bit softer. the pear sauce worked really well with this dish. Overall it is a nice special at a great price. 

So how do I rate the food

Plat du Jour - 4.5 stars out of 6 

Pork Belly - 4 stars out of 6 

Will I go back - yes of course 

Double Roasted Cafe

I had no idea this place existed and have been working in marrickville for 5 years......I stumbled across this place while walking to Newtown.  I like the old rustic look the cafe has on the inside.

Lunch

Pork belly sandwich - toasted

Absolutely delicious - the pork belly was soft and the skin crispy, nice flavours the sauce was very tasty...... 5.5 stars out of 6. A must have for only $9.50.......one of the best sandwiches I have had in a long time at a cafe... ......can't wait to go back again.....oh and order one of their fresh juices, good value for $6 served in a recycled jar.....very hip......

Malabar Indian Restaurant Review

Another Food Safari Adventure......we were craving Indian Food and decided to head our way to Darlinghurst to Malabar Indian Restaurant.


We made a reservation and were super pumped as I really like Butter Chicken so was eager to get there and eat.

Indian Palace

Another Foods Safari adventure and this time my partner and I did a bit of research to find some nice Indian restaurants near where we live and discovered one in Balmain called Indian Palace.  I am a huge fan of butter chicken so was very keen to give this place a go.

Billy Kwong

Back again for another foods safari adventure, yum yum..........

My girlfriend suggested that we try a new place situated in Surry Hills called Billy Kwong.

The venue inside is very cramped, not much room to walk around tables as they have tried to fill as many small tables as possible.  I am not to sure why they have taken this approach, tables are quite small and we just managed to fit our meals on the table with our drinks.

Chefs Gallery

My sister and I had a friend visit from Canada and decided to take her to a place in the city called Chefs Gallery.  The menu was a bit over whelming as there is a lot to choose from, I guess it was difficult to pick dishes as you will see from the pictures they all looked very good.  So we decided on a few dishes and decided to share.

The Living Room

I have decided to add a restaurant/cafe that is outside of our Sydney area that myself and George are exploring.  This place is situated in Wollongong and I went there with a friend of mine and had some lunch there.  This place is new and only opening up early Novemeber 2012 called THE LIVING ROOM.

Maranello's on Anzac Parade Maroubra

After a late game of six a side soccer in the Eastern suburbs, my friends took me to an Italian restaurant run by Greeks!.  What I said, there is no way that Greeks know how to make good pizza. Well I was very wrong.  I had walked into Maranello's and was about to get a shock at how good their wood fired Pizza was.

San Churro - Glebe

So perhaps you are out in the city shopping or having a nice meal and you are looking for a small appetiser to sweeten that tooth of yours, then you definitely need to swing past San Churro in Glebe.
I have been to this place many times and I believe they have the best chocolate in Sydney, when compared to Lindt, Max Brenner and Gyllian.  The other places that I just mentioned just don't seem to cut it.

Dark Hot Chocolate

Absolutely delicious, very tasty and sweet....what more can I say....wow!!

The Belgian Beer Cafes, Sydney, Australia

My sister and I had a friend visit us in Australia, we had a few ideas of where to take our friend for dinner. Talking to my mate George he recommended that we all go for dinner at Belgian Beer Cafe.

Miso

Back on the Food Safari mission again to find everything you need to know about eating out in Sydney, this time we headed to World Square in the Sydney CBD to a place called MISO.  

If you are a fan of Japanese food or are willing to try something new, this place is worth checking out.

Spice I AM - Balmain

Anzac Day, after a hard day of two-up and Golf, it was time to eat some dinner.  So a mate recommended the traditional style Thai - Spice-I-am . We visited the one in Balmain, my friend had been to the one in Surry Hills, so we thought we would give Balmain a go. 

As usually i went in disparagingly as spice and me don't agree with each other.  However I ordered my usual accompaniments of Iced water and heaps of napkins, because when I eat Thai, it looks like I have sprinted 1000 meters, not a sight to behold, although my mates think it's the funniest thing on earth ...  ha ha  - not!

Bondi Cosmo

Out and about in the city with my girlfriend and sister, I decided to take them to Bondi  for lunch and try Hungarian food at a small place called Bondi Cosmo.  I have been there once before and it was ok, so I wanted to share my food experience at this place with them.

Chicken Crepe with Paprika Sauce (Hortobagyi)

Its basically a pancake wrapped with chicken inside smothered with paprika sauce over the top.  Being ethnic myself, I love food with Paprika flavour. The crepe was ok, chicken a tiny bit dry but tasty and not expensive, price starting from $7 for a small crepe.  Great Value.

How do I rate the food

Hortobagyi - 3 stars out of 6
