I think it was the Friday after we got home that GG and I did the right thing and did our food shopping after we got home from the gym, but when we got home after that, cooking wasn’t high on our list of things to do. So we thought we would peruse the Entertainment […]

On our final morning in Sydney and GG and I procrastinated in our hotel until check out at 11am and wandered around looking for somewhere that served a nice late breakfast. We hadn’t walked through the Queen Victoria Building and I was keen for GG to see it. It’s pretty impressive with all the detail […]

We had a booking that night for Aki’s Indian Restaurant in Woolloomooloo. When GG had turned 30 the year before his family gave him a RedBalloonDays voucher for $200, which he had yet to spend and the expiry date was fast approaching…. So after perusing what was on offer he thought it might be nice […]

I should have known that an impressive run of good meals in Sydney would come to an end. On the Saturday night after stopping by a UFC Fight Club party at Oscars across the walk way at Darling Harbour, GG and I wandered all the way along the boardwalk, up past the aquarium to see […]

Another morning and we figured it was important to have a decent breakfast to put us in good stead for another day of exploring. After the disappointing breakfast the previous day we thought we’d head back down to Darling Harbour, where the view is great and the restaurants plentiful. After a brief wander we settled […]

There are some restaurants that I book months in advance and then eagerly count down the days until GG and I get to dine there. One such restaurant was Aria, which is owned and run by celebrity chef Matt Moran. Given our planned trip to the East, we thought we’d head out for one flashy […]

As it turned out our hotel in Sydney was in the perfect location and only a short walk away from Darling Harbour so on our first evening in the fair city we headed that way to find somewhere to eat. After a lap each side we finally settled on Toros, a tapas restaurant overlooking the […]

Hippo Creek is one of those places that I’ve heard a lot of praise from meat-lovers for. Steak probably isn’t my number one meal choice, but I am partial to a nice steak on the odd occasion. So when given the opportunity to pick a place for dinner for a visiting banker I thought that […]

I have worked in West Perth for over 5 years now so I’ve been to most places down Hay Street for lunch at one stage or another. At the end of the food court on a recent visit I found a relatively new café that I hadn’t been to before – Lime Cafe. And I […]

Salads are lovely during Summer. Nice and fresh. This one came from Pranzo in West Perth and was basically half cous cous, baby spinach and vinaigrette salad and the other half was a pesto pasta salad. For $7.50 it was a very generous serve which I struggled to finish. The flavours were fairly decent, but […]
