I couldn’t even begin to imagine how many eating places there are in this little town of ours where I’ve walked past a million times and thought I’d stop to try “one of these days”. It just never seems to happen, until now. I’ve extracted the finger and finally made an effort in what I hope is the [...]

Anyone that follows my food trail would know by now that the love affair I have with dumplings runs pretty deep. It’s funny that it has taken me this long to blog about yum cha, something that’s all about the dumplings and something I actually haven’t done for several years. All I can do is hang [...]

When my spontaneous idea for lunch fell through for the mere reason of a restaurant not being open on Sundays, it didn’t take long for a plan B to develop. The certain noodle joint I’ve been wanting to try for a long time was closed so a split decision and change of cuisine has us wandering 10 minutes up the [...]

You say China Noodle King I say Lanzhou Noodles What’s this place actually called? The sign on the awning says China Noodle King whereas the one hanging under the awning says Lan Zhou Handmade Beef Noodle. It’s difficult to keep track. About five years ago the noodle joint that occupied this space was friendly and family-run and [...]

When I glance back over the first half of this year it appears I’ve taken a bit of a liking to northern Chinese food. I just love the point of difference it brings with its hand-leavened noodles, grilled and slow cooked meats, breads and buns and of course the dumplings. If you were to ask [...]

Daniang Dumpling Restaurant, Haymarket

There’s a dumpling place at the top of Dixon Street in Chinatown that seems to have stigma adhered to it as much as the white sparkle powder beneath Amy Winehouse’s nostrils. This case in point being Daniang Dumpling Restaurant is notorious for bad/rude service and some of the most mediocre dumplings you’ll sink your teeth into. The first time [...]

It didn’t take me long to venture out for more dumplings beneath the grapevines after my recent grazings at Silk Road Chinese Halal Restaurant and what prompted me was the almost endless rain we had as an introduction to this years winter. This small corner restaurant on Chinatown’s fringe shares the appearance, postcode and a virtually identical menu featuring hand-pulled [...]

Coffee Trails – Haymarket

9 June 2010 Coffee

Having decent coffee shops located at various places around the CBD is very important to me as I’m not keen on wasting my time getting from one end of town to the other just for a caffeine hit. I have a few pitstop favourites in the core of town but I didn’t really know of anywhere reliably good [...]
