Someday, I’ll dedicate an entire blog entry to who has the best fries in Sydney (perhaps the world) and Charlie & Co’s offering will definitely make the list. Continue reading

Chanoma Cafe, CBD
The level of cheese on this hot dog was the equivalent of how cheesy I am towards girls I like. From a distance you think it’s way too much but observe it from up close you know that it means well and that I taste good.
That sounded really weird. I’m sorry. Continue reading
Ippudo Sydney, CBD
Do you remember your first kiss? I do. It was in a game of truth or dare and it was with a girl I didn’t really like. There were half a dozen pre-pubescents watching me as I closed my eyes at the last second. Is it possible to ever recreate that moment (not that I would want to) without the use of a time machine? Nope.
With food it’s possible. Maybe the cut of pork is slightly different and the broth is a little hotter than previously, but the feeling and the chemical reaction within your mind and body is identical. Continue reading
Makoto Sushi Bar, CBD
This was my one dish that was made to order and it arrived piping hot. The chicken encased in karrage batter was incredibly moist and tender. Admittedly; I wouldn’t have noticed if it had been burnt and dry because Japanese mayonnaise makes everything better. I wish they had offered more mayo. Maybe like a bottle I could’ve taken home with me. Continue reading
Sydney Cove Oyster Bar, Circular Quay
Cooked medium rare and to perfection, the butter that glazed the top of the steak was absolutely delicious. I tend to like my steak to contain a bit more fat than the sirloin but the meat was so tender that I quickly forgot about my love for cows who enjoyed a bit more grass than the rest of their herds. Continue reading
Gumshara Ramen, Haymarket
The broth had the consistency of KFC gravy minus the mash and you could taste the amount of work in the broth as the savoury protein danced in your mouth. It’s definitely different and I can see how some people would be put off by how thick it was but it didn’t take me very long to fall in love with the dense liquid. Continue reading
Napoli in Bocca, Haberfield
I bit into a slice of tomato and bocconcini cheese and was immediately surprised. I had expected the cheese to be incredibly salty as that was the common denominator in my past experience with white cheese. Instead, the bocconcini served as more of a texture mix-up for the juicy tomato slice that had been dowsed in olive oil. The addition of basil leaves to the dance led to quite the rousing ball hosted in my mouth as well. Continue reading
Yok Yor, Haymarket
The pork belly was nicely layered and the fat portion (my favourite portion) was rather generous. There are few simpler pleasures in life than delicious fatty pork. The chili covered vegetables provided a nice kick too considering it was a rather cold day. Continue reading
Old Town Hong Kong Cuisine, Chinatown
Old Town Hong Kong Cuisine might feature some of the most photogenic dishes in Sydney. I just couldn’t believe how magnificent a sight the dumplings made encased in their bird’s next container. Continue reading
Excelsior Jones, Ashfield
By the way, doesn’t Excelsior Jones sound like a spell out of the Harry Potter universe? Just me? Ok then. Continue reading
