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
Stitch Bar, Town Hall
The synergy displayed by the contents of the burger was reminiscent of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen during the Chicago Bulls’ heyday; an absolutely winning combination at their absolute apex. Continue reading
The Merrywell, Southbank
My only complaint about the fries was that there wasn’t enough to last me a lifetime. Continue reading
Sushi Hotaru, Town Hall
Eel sushi is my favourite. Whoever figured out that cream cheese and eel are best friends deserves whatever they want in life. My two eel topped morsels were quite large and topped with deep fried crisps. I ate these two so fast that the flavours barely registered. When they did, it felt like I was receiving a tongue massage from the finest foods the ocean and dairy Gods could offer.
Oh my. So good. Continue reading
Mexico Food & Liquor, Surry Hills
Confession: I don’t drink. You’ll never get an iFat alcohol review so my virgin margarita is the closest you’ll ever get to that. I loved the sour flavour that the lime juice added to the drink. Continue reading
Jazz City Milk Bar, Darlinghurst
Both were very good by themselves, but combined in one bite with a slight dip into maple syrup? Scrumptous. Something about all the different flavours and textures working in harmony created the most fantastic food party in my mouth. Continue reading
