  • Hakiki Turkish Ice Cream, Newtown

    We still had a bit of time before our comedy show tonight and I was predictably still hungry after the dinner. We randomly strolled down Enmore Road in the light rain looking for nothing in particular, and stumbled upon a little place called Hakiki Turkish Ice Cream. “Turkish ice cream?” We asked each other. “Probably…

  • Japan Village, Enmore

    We had almost 2 hours for a proper dinner before our comedy show at Enmore Theatre tonight, and it’s hard to pick one restaurant out of the hundreds in the area of good eats. Richard previously read pretty good reviews about Japan Village, so when we walked past, we thought, why not? (In hindsight, we…

  • Moim Japanese Kitchen, Kirrawee

    Moim Kitchen in Kirrawee offers predominantly Japanese foods such as sushi, sashimi and udon, but also other Asian dishes such as Korean bulgogi and bibimbap, and Chinese-inspired sweet and sour chicken. We had a 7:30 pm booking for our catch-up dinner, with two vegetarians at our table of eight! We were unfortunate enough tonight to…

  • Din Tai Fung, Westfield Miranda

    Everyone’s favourite Taiwanese dumpling place Din Tai Fung (鼎泰豐) opened yet another branch in Sydney. We previously visited one in Hong Kong, and later at Central Park after discovering for the first time that the franchise existed in Australia (yeah, we know). We’d been talking about trying this new Westfield Miranda branch, and tonight was…

  • Forty One, Club Cronulla

    The R mum took us to Forty One at Club Cronulla for their Tuesday two-for-one dinner member deal (also runs on Wednesdays), which we initially thought would mean one dinner for each of them, and two for me. The deal was apparently only good for one per member though, so tonight, it was only one…

  • Henley’s Wholefoods, Alexandria

    Henley’s Wholefoods serves paleo-friendly foods. I don’t actively follow the lifestyle, but their core principle with keywords like “choice”, “nutrient-dense” and “sustainable” is right up my alley, so it’s only appropriate that I selected the recently opened branch in Alexandria near my workplace as the venue for the lunch meetup with the Zomato Sydney Community…

  • Quarryman’s Hotel, Pyrmont

    An ex-colleague semi-moved on from the company earlier (it’s complicated) and told us he has loads of gossip from his new office to share. Office gossssip. He treated us to Quarryman’s Hotel at Pyrmont tonight. Office gosssssssip. We grabbed a drink each (no alcohol for me, thank you) and ordered our food at the counter.…
