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

Home made pies

chicken and mushroom pies and curry pies. with rocket, pear and grapefruit salad.

Nak Won Korean Restaurant Top Ryde

i incidentally discovered this restaurant just outside top ryde shopping centre. if u walked through the piazza away from the food precint, past springfield and turn left you ll find this restaurant. they have only been open for 1 month.

good prices around $13 for basic meals. they seem to specialise in ssam which is around $17 pp min 2 people.

we had the soft tofu soup and stir fried squid. the best thing about this place is the total of 10 side dishes!

the owner is really polite too!

Wrap and roll Westfields Sydney

Food

Modern vietnamese restaurant which specialises in wrap your own meals.

Previously I had tried the sugar cane prawns which came with rice paper and lettuce that you had to make yourself. It was an interesting concept and the food tasted great.

Although they just expect you to soak the rice paper from the water from the lettuce - which means it is quite hard.

Service

Quick efficient service.

Like other restaurants within Westfields - it's a mix between a food court and a casual restaurant.

Location

Located in the upstairs foodcourt of the new Westfields (well maybe no longer new).

It's one of the later restaurants.

They have some seating inside - shared tables but feels quiet comfortable.

East to eat alone.

Cost

Slightly more expensive than your average Vietnamese but also seems a lot cleaner. The kitchen is transparent so you can actually see the cooking.

Dishes range from $10-20.

*Tip*

1. Go at closing time to get discount on Vietnamese rolls

2. There are combos - which has mixture of 2 dishes allowing you to try more things

View from outside

Afternoon discount rolls

Kangchon Strathfield

on the other side of stathfield station this place is great for street style korean food. they have renovated though - i think i prefer the older setting

Eastwood

korean restaurant - one of the korean ones on the strip at rowe st. will update once i remember the name.

Fatty Crab Kuala Lumpur

A home delivery service for crab. have to love it. costs about $20 aud per kg and comes in buckets. takes about 45 min for delivery.

Din Tai Fung Westfields City

great value take away - love the xiao long bao

Bear Brasserie Westmead

this is a cafe located within the childrens hospital at westmead. the food is okay but servings are small relative to the price given it is the western suburbs. this was a vegetable stack

Jangdory North Strathfield

located in the bakehouse quarter
it specialises in beef bone soup. good value although the sides are slightly limited

Fresh fruit tart

i have taken up dessert cooking recently and this is my first attempt at making pastry and also my first creme patissiere. the pastry was beautiful but the creme patissiere with a whole vanilla bean just had too strong taste of vanilla for my liking.

i also tried with yoghurt
