Hi Everyone, I’ve had this blog for just over 9 months now and it’s been both challenging and exciting to discover so many great eateries in Sydney. After reviewing all the emails I have received over the past months and amount of hours I’ve spent on research, I can’t help but feel there’s a gap. …
Visited on the 22nd of June 2014. In the Annex landed on my brunch list after I read their menu and saw a Nutella milkshake many months ago. However it wasn’t until recent times that my friend and I decided to visit the café after seeing a glorious picture of their twice cooked pork belly …
Visited on the 22nd of May 2014. Philsosophyy attended as a guest of China Republic. I had never heard of China Republic until a few weeks prior of my visit to the restaurant. After doing some quick probing around, mixed reviews left me slightly nervous but I decided to go in and experience the restaurant …
Visited on the 2nd of May 2014. You know those crazy moments when you wander into your closet, find Narnia and go exploring for two months neglecting your food blog? No? Well this is awkward… Okay, let’s be honest for a moment. I don’t possess the wit required to conjure up a good excuse and …
Visited on the 15th of March 2014. Philsosophyy dined as a guest of Mr. Moustache. Mr. Moustache was first brought to my attention when another Sydney sider @tessaus mentioned that this restaurant managed to recreate the atmosphere and flavours of Mexico within their establishment. Although the menu and space looked intriguing, I must confess that …
Visited on the 13th of March 2014. UPDATE (24/05/2014): After receiving distasteful, out of context and racist personal attacks from the staff at ‘All Good Things Eatery’, I will never return to the establishment or give it my recommendation. Screen shots of most of the remarks can be found at the bottom of this page. I first …
Visited on the 21st of February 2014. Philsosophyy attended as a guest of Jimmy Liks. The humble Vietnamese pork roll is something I’ve always loved for the most of obvious reasons – it’s tasty, cheap and requires no cutlery. After my recent first experience with Marrickville pork roll (which was so delicious!), I decided to …
Visited on the 9th of February 2014. Here’s the second installment of my Glebe eating adventures! When I looked into Alfie & Hetty’s menu online, it quickly became a no brainer. I had to give this place a visit! Triple cooked fries, short ribs, SMOKED burgers, scallops and pulled pork in one venue? My only …
Visited 12th of February 2014. Philsosophyy attended as a guest of Wasamedia. New Shanghai has been one of my casual spots to eat in Chatswood for years; the food is of good standard and priced reasonably. When I received news saying that they released some new menu items, it goes without saying that I was …
Visited on the 12th of January 2014. My friend was craving tapas and as it was her birthday, I happily obliged and began to scour the city for some Spanish food! I decided to forgo the usual suspects (Subsolo, Encassa e.t.c) and looked at other venues which I had never previously heard of before. I …
Visited on the 17th of December 2013. Bion Societe landed on my radar after I saw some pictures of their beautifully presented smoked salmon stack and rendition of a cinnamon scroll on Instagram. I’m a sucker for well-presented food; I like to think that kitchens willing to put effort into their presentation put an equal level of …
Visited on the 4th of January 2014. We’re only a two weeks into 2014 and I already have a contender for ‘most spontaneous’ dinner of the year. This is how I ended up at Papi Chulo on Saturday evening: @vnsssss: Been to Papi Chulo in Manly yet? @philsosophyy: *looks up the menu online* Omg dat …
Visited on the 25th of September 2013. As you can tell by the date, this post is very belated but I did write this up a few months ago and completely forgot to post it! I first heard about Khao Pla from my fellow foodie friend who showed me a picture of milk tea ice …
Visited on the 12th of December 2013. When I first heard about people ‘drinking plants’, curiosity got the better of me and I immediately did some investigating. As it turned out, there was a café in Burwood making signature drinks which looked like pot plants! How this place has been open for one year and …
Visited on the 8th of December 2013. Redfern is not my usual destination for lunch but with new openings such as the new café ‘Three Williams’ and restaurant ‘Moon Park’, I found myself wandering past the ever-popular Surry Hills area and into Redfern, which appears to be an upcoming destination for modern dining. The Kitchen …
