Eating around Sydney

Sydney is a beautiful place. We left Sydney not too long ago and even though we were only there for a short time, we sure had a lot of fun there. Everyone is nice and friendly and I was surprise to see so many Asians there. I was even more surprise by the different types of Asian food that I can get there. I can even get bok choi in supermarkets! Hang on…are you sure we are in a Western country?Bok choi,chinese cabbage and coriander? Wow!

It was great to see all the different types of chinese vegetables that you can get in the supermarkets and it’s all grown locally.

Malaysian Restaurant

We found a Malaysian restaurant in town called Jimmy’s Recipe and it’s in a shopping centre called Galleries Victoria. I lovveee the Hainanese Chicken rice and I have to say that it’s better than some that I had in Malaysia. They are very generous with the portions and it’s reasonably priced too. The murtabak and beef rendang is also good.

Must try the Chicken Rice

Yum Cha

Yum cha is also a must do in Sydney. Go to Marigold in Chinatown for bite size morsels of  all sorts of goodies from chicken feet to siu mai. I love the egg tarts and yam puffs there. Marigold is voted the best Yum Cha restaurant in Sydney and I can see why

All sorts of roasted meat. Roasted duck, char siu and many more.

Cafes and Bakeries

There are Cafes in every corner in Sydney and they take their coffee seriously. We usually hang out at a few different cafes but one of our favourite is Bourke Street Bakery in Surry Hills. There is always a long queue so make sure you go early.  Apparently it’s one of the best bakeries in Sydney and is always featured in magazines and newspapers.

Sydney Fish Market

For the best selection of seafood in town, you have to go to the Fish Market. Sydney Fish Market is AWESOME. The seafood is super fresh and you can find all sorts of seafood from all around. Just get a dozen or two of fresh oysters, sit by the pier and eat to your hearts delight! If oysters is not your thing, there’s fish and chips, grilled fish and seafood, scampis, lobsters and many many more!
