Adventure, baby!

Sydney Food

Fisherman’s Wharf Seafood Restaurant

After my dress fitting last Thursday, I met Lisa and Emma for yum cha at the Fish Markets. Unfortunately I was confused by their website, and they actually only have yum cha during the day – d’oh! We stayed for dinner anyway, and had a vegetarian feast.
Vege sang choy bow – it’s so hard to get this! So tasty.
Standard vege spring rolls. Crisp and tasty.
Bamboo pith with greens. Pith is weird but good!

Vege fried rice.

Nice presentation of fortune cookies.
 
Lovely girls – thank you for going vege with me!
 

Sunday Blunch at Not Bread Alone

After a few stressful weeks with me incredibly sick and Alec super busy at work, we finally had a relaxing day together today and spent some time just hanging out having fun.

We had “blunch” (closer to lunch than breakfast) at a fave cafe in St Leonards, Not Bread Alone.

So much spring green on the North Shore.

Alec’s breakfast.

Corn fritters, tomato, hash brown, spinach – my favourite!

I had a great day today – thank you love!

Horses Four Courses Lunch

Had a great lunch yesterday at the Observatory Hotel. They run a series of lunches throughout the year themed to different seasons. This one was themed to the races spring carnival.

I met up with Mel and Keeva for a four-course lunch, excellent wine, a fashion parade and a fabulous goodie bag.

Chocolate Tasting TGIF

The only TGIF I’ve been to in about a year. Our friend Greg ran a chocolate-tasting session where we were given 14 chocolates and matching wines.

This is what 1400 chocolate pieces look like.

My selection.

Smelling the chocolate – the correct way to sample!

Mine, all mine!


Mexican + Chocolate

Dinner – Mexican! Great vegetarian burrito in Glebe, followed by chocolate overload at San Curros. Yum! Why is the Glebe SC better than the Chatswood one? It’s a mystery!






Zumbos!

Revisited Zumbos on this wet, miserable, freezing day. Big mistake. It was super cold out! We grabbed some of the new cakes and had breakfast at the cafe, but were chased away by the cold weather and ate the cakes at home.













Crust Pizza

The hunt for the new pizza place of choice continues. We tried Crust tonight, a local place who deliver for free (woot!). Really enjoyed the pizza, and we will be back for more!



Sushi Train: Chatswood

I’m not a sushi fan, but Alec is, so we stopped by before watching Fame at the movies. While I don’t really like eating sushi, I love the way it’s prepared and enjoy photographing it.







Lane Cove Gourmet Pizza

Our fave pizza place, LCC, recently closed down. We are now searching for a new pizza place. LCG was our test subject tonight – and they were pretty good! I will definitely be back.
