OK Surry Hills, when is it gonna stop? Does a single month pass without a new eatery opening? Isn’t your cup full already? As soon as a new place opens, even before anyone can step foot on the polished concrete in that new conversion, the urbanites swoop without fail. This town has constant cravings for [...]

Many of us remember the hype that surrounded Longrain when it opened more than a decade ago. It was one of Sydney’s hottest eating and drinking venues; a place difficult to get into and one of the first places to jump onto the communal table bandwagon as it trundled across the citys dining landscape, picking up those that [...]

For the 18-or-so years I’ve lived in this town Surry Hills was always one neighbourhood that was constantly changing, seemingly much more than any other postcode. Flash new eateries came and went along Crown Street in the 90′s as they still do in this century yet there was always that underlying staple of long-running Middle Eastern and Indian restaurants and take-aways down [...]

Reuben sandwich definition: layered hot corned beef or pastrami with sauerkraut, cheese and Russian dressing toasted between slices of rye bread. I’m sure I’m not the only person to have noticed the quiet and gradual invasion of the mighty Reuben around our fair city. My very first taste of this American classic was almost two [...]

When you pay $49 for something that’s worth $122 it sounds like a pretty good deal, right? That’s exactly what I thought when I saw this offer on one of those deal sites. It’s a Japanese restaurant I’ve never been to, offering a banquet for two including a glass of vino each. Bargain!  A perfect autumn day had us [...]

An absolute glutton for punishment. Yes, I refer to myself.  The record-breaking week-long heatwave this town just endured was a bit of a killer, to say the least. 41°C out in the western ‘burbs and just over 42°C in the city. Crazy stuff. All I can say is without the recent installation of air-con in [...]

Who would have thought that rain and being under pressure would lead to damn good food? Let me explain. The inlaws are about to descend on my house. The entire K family is about to jet in from two parts of the world - London and Wellington – and stay with us for over a week. Mr K’s mum, [...]

House – Surry Hills

Continuing on from our culinary debauchery at Kansai a craving for sweets prompted us to pay up and head downtown to Haymarket in search of some sugar. Where we ended up was a place I’ve wanted to try out since first reading about it several weeks ago in the SMH. Tacked onto the gritty Triple Ace Bar on the [...]
