I’ve been to FRED’S in Paddington a couple of times now. It’s always been good, but not that great. I suppose I had pretty high expectations. Merivale restaurants, in my experience, are always excellent – in terms of the fit-out, atmosphere as well as the food. I […]

  BISTRO MEKONGin Castlecrag is all about south-east Asian food. It’s the sister restaurant to Kensington Street’s MEKONG and I love that you can get all types of south-east Asian food here! I feel like I’ve been to a lot of Thai restaurants, or Indian restaurants, where […]

I’m not a massive fan of Asian desserts in general, but one thing I can never resist is tangyuen– glutinous rice flour balls with a variety of fillings, served either hot or cold in a soup. My staple favourite is always the black sesame paste tangyuen in a […]

China Lane is to be found below a myriad of bird cages, next door to the City Recital Hall on Angel Lane. It is the third restaurant to open as part of the China Doll and China Beach family. We went as a group of […]
