Mr Wong, Sydney CBD

I went to Mr Wong before I left for holidays, a few weeks after it had initially opened. Is it still the hottest spot in town?  Because when I went, it was near impossible to get a table for dinner with their no-booking policy.  My

As soon as I saw the Morrison’s menu, I knew that I had to go try it – the food sounded yum! It’s also in a convenient location on George Street where the old Brooklyn hotel used to be – now it has been revamped

Xanthi, Sydney CBD

The funny thing that I discovered about Xanthi is that you can have a completely different dining experience from your friends despite the fact that you are all sitting at the same table. My experience was one of dining in a nice restaurant with a

Nippon Club, Sydney CBD

Nippon Club, Sydney CBD

The Japanese RSL Nippon Club is the type of place that you would walk past without a second glance. Unless someone had tipped you off that it was there, I doubt you would even notice it.  It is an underground restaurant on Macquarie Street in

Buffet breakfast at Swissotel JPB Restaurant, Sydney CBD

I have always maintained that one of the best parts of being on holiday is enjoying a buffet breakfast.  There is just something about having a spread of breakfast food before you, first thing in the morning that ensures you start your day off right.
