Here are the food places (in my opinion) worth mentioning in Sydney - and to some extent Melbourne since we stopped by there for a while during our recent trip to Sydney in August. They are in no particular order:
(1) Cafe Inniene, Bourke Street Melbourne.
The cafe was just a stone's throw away from the place where we stayed in Melbourne, Causeway Inn on the Mall, so naturally we dropped by there for breakfast. It was among the cheapest there as well. I like that dining was al-fresco because the weather was fantastic (cooling). I had their breakfast set and chai latte. It was yummy-licious! :)
(2) Bratwurst Shop,Queen Victoria Market Melbourne.
OMG! This was SO GOOD!! They use french loaf, and the humongous sausage was so juicy! Top that up with cheese, sauerkraut, lots of mustard and chili sauce - it's a perfect combination.
Good Thai food. Full stop.
Ultimate comfort food. Lightly battered, sprinkled with powdered icing, and dipped in chocolate. Hmmm~
Schnitzels are actually breaded cutlet made with boneless meat. To me, it was pretty much like your normal fast-food joint . So really nothing much to comment here.
I don't think this place needs introduction. The pancakes were fluffy and out of this world. So so good. :)
Honestly I am not a chocolate fan, so I don't have much to comment. However, the raspberry ice-cream coupled with the thick dark chocolate poured over it was heavenly. Of course, the view over-looking Darling Harbor adds to the entire ambiance too.
(8) Fish Market, Sydney.
I really don't know what is the hype about this place. The seafood platter was so-so. In terms of freshness, it was so-so also.
(9) Chat Thai, Sydney.
In my opinion, they serve the best Thai food!! Reasonable pricing too. It was so good, we went back there twice! Must go!
(10) Pho An, Bankstown Sydney.
Aside from the Pho (Vietnamese beef noodle) in Springvale Melbourne, this place serves the awesome~st most authentic Pho ever! This is because the place is a Vietnamese community and the beef that they used are Australian beef which are tender. The place is out of the way from CBD. We were quite blessed cos Bear's uncle drove us there. :)
(11) Some restaurant near Blue Mountain, Sydney (forgot the name).
The food was bleh and very expensive too ... only consolation was that the pumpkin soup was really delicious.
(12) Harry's Cafe de Wheels, Wooloomooloo Sydney.
True to the hype, the hotdogs and pies were really good. Just be prepared to get real messy! Must try!
(13) Clipper's Cafe, Glebe, Sydney.
Their chai latte is the best~est that I have ever tried!!!! You need to sieve the spices yourself. Soooooooooo good~! Must try their baked egg with tomato sauce and lamb sausage as well. Awesome breakfast place. Just a caution though, it could get pretty packed over the weekends with students from UTS.
(14) Hurricane's Grill, Bondi Beach, Sydney
Must must must must go!!! EAT THE PORK RIBS AND NOTHING ELSE!! Please make reservations or you will have to wait like mad.
That concludes our makan escapades in Sydney (and Melbourne).
You hungry yet?
