conquering food across sydney and the rest of the world

Restaurants

Sansibar – Rantum, Sylt, Germany

The first time I encountered Sansibar was in fact not through food, but through a pair of slippers. Turns out Sansibar is a whole brand of stuff – including condiments, apparel and a restaurant. Several years ago I spied a pair of slippers perfect for […]

Sturmhaube – Kampen, Sylt, Germany

You know a dish is good when 4 out of your party of 5 order it  – and this is always the case with any form of pasta served with chanterelle mushrooms here in Sylt (an island in the North Sea of Germany). Chanterelle mushrooms […]

KAMPs Café – Keitum, Sylt, Germany

After a 30+ hour journey (various photos of which can be found on Instagram), across basically all continents, across all cultures that I am from, and using various forms of transport I have arrived at the small, idyllic island of Sylt. Sylt is located in […]

Cafe Nice – Circular Quay, Sydney

Cafe Nice is brought to you by the lovely people of Fratelli Fresh. However, the menu is rather French compared to the usual Italian at Cafe Sopra and Fratelli Fresh cafes around Sydney. The Mother had spontaneously come into the city for lunch, and as Cafe […]

Billy Kwong – Surry Hills, Sydney

My view on eating insects has been completely changed after this eating experience at Billy Kwong with L. I have never been an adventurous eater – things like deep fried starfish and goat’s testicles never really appealed to me… But Billy Kwong has changed me.

Four in Hand Restaurant – Paddington, Sydney

To celebrate a special event, the Mother, DS and I thought we’d check out the Four in Hand Restaurant – a restaurant close enough to be considered in our neighbourhood. The minimally decorated dining room can be found adjoining the pub (which also has some […]

Taste of Sydney 2013 – Centennial Park, Sydney

It has become somewhat a tradition that the Mother, DS and I attend Taste of Sydney together every year and basically spend the afternoon sitting outside, gorging ourselves on food and buying way too many Crowns to feed our stomachs. Although the Mother was unable […]

Orso – London, UK

Orso – London, UK

  On DS’s last night in London we decided to go all out at a nice Italian restaurant called Orso, recommended by a kind friend. The friendly, almost homely (how cute are the colourful plates!) atmosphere was most welcoming – quite different to some of […]

Gallo Nero – Hamburg, Germany

There is one reason that Gallo Nero is my dad’s favourite restaurant and I go there every single time I’m in Hamburg – the home-made pasta with parmesan and fresh truffles. No words can describe the wonder of this dish, and I have never tried […]

Restaurant Arras – CBD, Sydney

The Mother and I booked the Full Society special offer for 2 courses at $50 to dine at Arras. While our experience at Arras was exceptional, our experience with Full Society was not. I have previously booked with them before and it worked out fine, but upon arrival at […]
