Yatai West Ryde

located right next to west ryde station they do great lunch specials.
this was the tempura and chicken teriyaki for less than $10

Deckhouse Woolwich

a lovely sydney day and was looking around for a good brunch venue with views. just note they do stop serving breakfast at 11 and kitchen doesnt reopen until 12 for lunch.

a fantastic view and very relaxing. had the french toast with ricotta strawberries and banana and big breakfast.

Kodori Rhodes

another shop at the rhodes food court. it was having a special lunch deal - but took about 15 minutes which i think is way too long for a food court

Pattisons Top Ryde

had a sudden craving for pastry particularly a well made meat pie. thought about driving to bourke at bakery then ended up at the local pattisons.

the prices arent cheap but pastry is okay.

Gumshara Chinatown Sydney

after reading reviews and being a big fan of ramen i ve been wanting to try the famous tonkotsu ramen here for ages.

i got the standard tonkotsu with soft boiled egg for extra 1.50. i asked it to be less thick and less salty. i think i shouldnt have asked for both because it became quite bland.

i have had better ramen and the soup was so rich i felt a bit sick afterwards.0

Xquisito Rhodes

quick lunch again. tropical spud for $7.90 and water is $1 extra. too much ham.

Tomodachi Rhodes

went for the lunch special and had the chicken bento with chicken teriyaki, few pieces of sushi and sashimi, salad and potato noodles. $14.80 not bad.

Chocolateria San Churro Glebe

dessert time - churros for 1 with strawberries

Mad Cow Sydney

my first visit to the ivy complex. we went for the 2 course special for $40. the atmosphere was fantastic but the food was disappointing.
we had the salad and steak.
the annoying part was they charged a service charge - we asked what it was and they said it was an optional charge - then why include it in the bill.

Baja Cantina Glebe

Happened to be at glebe on sunday night. we ve been wanting to have mexican for a while. lots of choices on the menu and we settled for a prawn fajita - after seeing the next table and chicken tacos.

the fajitas come as a self serve - sizzling protein and dish with tomatoes lettuce rice beans and sour cream. it also comes with guacamole and salsa.
i personally preferred the tacos as i found the flour tortilla a bit dry.

overall a good meal. great vibe. very casual. my only complaint is that the tables r too small compared to the plates.

Assiette Surry Hills

Assiette is a restaurant i have been wanting to try for ages.
we ordered the 3 course. the food was quite rich so its important to balance the main and entree. lovely environment.

Praus Frozen Yoghurt Eastwood

frozen yoghurt seems to be the new in thing these days. this is located away from the main shops on the korean side of eastwood. having tried yogurberry which is 2 min away i think this one is much better.
it sells by weight - i think around $20 per kilo. it has more fresh fruit and i think the yoghurt tastes better. the main flavours are plain, pomegranate, green tea and peach.

Gloria Jeans West Ryde

nice place to sit and chat. they have a kids corner where there are toys for the kids to play with. limited selection of sweets.
having a hot chocolate and baked new york cheesecake.

Yummy World Eastwood

this is a small shop in eastwood that just sells mixture of korean food. cheap prices. they used to do handmade noodles and dumplings - not sure if they still do.
this is the dumpling and rice cake soup
