Sushi Tengoku might not be a big restaurant, but every customer who has dined in Sushi Tengoku always leaves the place with a big grin on their faces. Sushi Tengoku is definitely a must-stop-by restaurant for any sushi eater in Sydney!

 

 The first time I dined in Sushi Tengoku, I was very appaled by the crowd inside the restaurant. One can definitely tell the place itself doesn't look that great. Interior looks very mediocre, and I could only see maximum of two waitresses running around taking orders and serving the foods the entire time I was there. To be honest, my first impression of Sushi Tengoku wasn't very great. However, as soon as my foods have arrived on the table, I was quick to change my mind!

I'm not a fan of wasabi. In fact, I despise wasabi with all of my heart, despite knowing the goodness and importance of eating wasabi to kill of the germs when eating raw foods, especially sashimi. That is why, when I ordered my foods to the waitress, I was very pleased when she gave me the option to seperate the wasabi from the foods that originally should have included wasabi in it. This option makes it very convenient for people like me or for the people who loves to eat wasabi when enjoying their meals. It certainly saved me the hassle from having to scrape the wasabis from each and every single foods before I could enjoy them!



The first food that came to my table was Asaburi Oyster. The oysters were very soft and sweet, and the rice below the oysters were firm and sweet as well! The mayonnaise sauce has to be my favourite part! It spreads in my mouth as soon as I placed it on my tongue as its slightly creamy sourness complements the sweetness of the oysters. I lost count as to how many I have eaten the oysters that night, but they were really addicitve!



The next food that I thoroughly enjoy was Asaburi Salmon. As the name implies, the way the food was cooked was very similar to Asaburi Oyster, only with salmons as the topping. The flavour of salmon in this dish was not very rich, but still has the same soft and chewy texture as Asaburi Oyster. I would, however, prefer Asaburi Oyster over Asaburi Salmon if i have to make a decision between the two!



My last menu, gyoza, was very pleasantly surprising! Unlike any other gyozas that I have eaten before, Sushi Tengoku's gyoza resembles more towards a xiao long bao: both dishes contain a spoon size of soup and pork meat as the fillings! However, unlike xiao long baos, Sushi Tengoku's gyoza have a thin yet crispy texture for its outer layer. The taste of each gyoza is not that intense, allowing the consumer to finish all 7 gyozas without having to feel tired of it! Perfect for your afternoon snack!


For drinks, my and my companions were given ocha, or tea, as complementary instead of tap water! As a tea-addict, I was surely pleased by the complementary beverage! Customers can even ask for re-fills without having to pay additional charges!

 

Aside from Max Brenner, another chocolate paradise that Australians should visit is Lindt Chocolate cafe!

Lindt Chocolate cafe has a wide range of chocolate assortment menus to please their chocoholic customers. Starting from cakes, parfaits, and beverages, Lindt spoils their customers with the chocolate goodness that one could ever wish for!

As usual, I always love to visit cafes when the weather is chilly outside, especially at night. My eyes were fixed to Lindt Chocolate cafe at that particular night as I stroll around Darling Harbour. Without delaying any further, I ordered a hot dark chocolate drink from the counter. Soon after, a waitress came to my table while bringing a tray filled with an empty cup, a small pot of thick chocolate, a small pot of white coloured steamy drink, and a single wrapped chocolate to be eaten seperately from the drinks.

Although I personally prefer Max Brenner's hot dark chocolate drink, Lindt's dark chocolate drink has a certain essence of unforgettable sweetness that wouldn't seem to leave one's mouth! My favourite part when drinking the warming beverage was the white coloured drink ( which I would assume to be steamed milk? )that is to be poured alongside the thick chocolate into the cup. The white coloured drink compliments the sweetness and the thickness of the chocolate, making the drink feels very light in the consumer's mouth. All in all, I was able to re-fill my cups 3 times with the chocolate and white drink provided! In all honesty, I think 3 cups weren't enough to satisfy my thirst for a nice, warm, Lindt chocolate that night!

 I also personally adore Lindt's cafe outdoor interior. It lets the customers to enjoy the cold night breeze while drinking a hot beverage outside. Customers are also able to look at performances and sometimes some fireworks on Saturday night when sitting outside of Lindt cafe! Customer who likes to sit outdoors and who is also a chocoholic HAVE to come to Lindt Chocolate cafe branch in Darling Harbour for a magnificent view especially at night!

Have you been to The Rocks in Sydney before?The Rocks is one of the famous tourist attractions in here. If you been tere before, you should know this restaurant--Pancakes on The Rocks.

 On August 1975, Mr Meadmore opened the first pancakes restaurant in Sydney, Pancakes On The Rocks. Now the restaurant has a history of 37 years ago. You always need to wait for a long time to take seat during the dinner time.

The word “fusion” cuisines has always been a mystery for me. I am always thinking that how can you change the way that a dish is cooked or served up and call it fusion??? After learning online, I know that if you mix at least two traditional dishes together you will get fusion no matter whether it takes good or not that's probably up to the individual.
Kuaizi Modern Fusion Cuisine is located in Sussex street, near Chinatown.There are many kinds of food inside for you to choose.You could have buffet in here or order your food traditionally.I have ever been once, for a welcome party for one of my society, it was a fun party and I made a lot of new friends. This kind of party gives me chances to try different restaurants in Sydney.



                                                         (This is the dessert)

You do not need to wait for long to get your ordered food, they are all actually very tasty. If you would like to try different restaurant, this is a restaurant I am quite recommend, I did not take quite impressive images in the restaurant, more food is waiting for you to discover here!

QueTo? The first time when I was looking for a place to have my lunch, this store attracted me. Actually, I was attracted by the name of the store........ Just out of curiosity, I went into the store. There was no paper based menu, you could see all the dishes with a specific number on a big board. When you are ready to order, what you do is just tell the number you choose to the server.

 After taking the order, it will take 2 to 5 minutes, then you number will be callled. I tried the spicy seafood noodle, it's pretty good, especially the soup, not very spicy but very tasty. My friend told me that BBQ seafood noodle was kind of sweet, but also very decilious.(Honesly, I don't like sweety food.).

Anyway,I strongly recommend those people who like Korean style food, you won't regret that!!!

360 Bar and Dinning is the spin restaurant in Sydney Tower. The most special selling point of the restaurant is offering customers an pretty experience with 360 revolving views of the city.
Whatever for the lunch time or dinner time, you can enjoy different view of Sydney city.



Last time I went to there for dinner with my friend because they have had a special dinner promotion.
Each person has one onion soup, one angus beef fillet and a cup of red wine. All of these menus just sold  for $ 30 per person.

We have not been to Sydney Tower before, therefore, we just have a try in there.
To be honest, the dinner was quite common but the view was excellent!!
If you just travel at Sydeny Tower you should pay $25 but now you are not only can enjoy the City view but also have an dinner in such an excellent service restaurant.

(Because of the Lighting problem, I haven't take photos for the dinner. But you can go to there and enjoy them by yourselves or with your friends.)

 I thinks all of you will have a good time in there.

Originally from Israel and now has gone international, I find Max Brenner serves one of the best chocolate drinks aside from Lindt and Guylian!

The first Max Brenner chain store that I visited was the one located in the Westfield Shopping Centre at the corner of Pitt Street and Market Street. At that time, I have not the slightest idea about Max Brenner. I only knew that it is just one of those cafes selling chocolate-oriented consumables, similar to Lindt or Guylian. As a chocoholic, of course I knew I couldn't miss the chance to visit the place! And what do you know? I have not the slightest regret for coming there!


Unlike Tom n Toms, I realized Max Brenner's ambiance and lighting  are a lot darker. Not that I have anything against dark places, but I do prefer somewhere with a bit more light. Still, that doesn't seem to be a problem for fellow chocoholic customers to visit the cafe and enjoy their cup of hot chocolates, especially when it is cold and windy outside! However, it might not be a good idea for anyone interested to read their favorite novels while enjoying their cup of chocolates in the store's premises due to the rather dark store lighting.




Also, just like most cafes and chocolate shops, customers are expected to make their chocolate orders from the counter. It is also the place where all assortments of other sweets are being displayed behind the glass case. Some of these sweets includes cookies and several cakes. Hopefully the customers are willing to buy some of these sweets to accompany their flavorful chocolate drinking experience!


My choice of drink was their Hot Dark Chocolate drink, as suggested by one of my companies. If you do a bit of research, apparently dark chocolates are much healthier than any other types of chocolates as it doesn't contain that much sugar. It was a bit of  a challenge for me to order it at first, remembering how much of a sweet tooth I am, but I've decided to give it a try. That was when I realized that was the best decision I've ever made that night.

As a sweet tooth, a have a big fear towards bitter consumables. I have to admit, my first impression when hearing the name of the Hot Dark Chocolate drink was: extremely bitter chocolate drink that I'll ever tasted in my whole life. However, I ended up having a very pleasant surprise instead. The beverage was unexpectedly balanced in flavor: not to sweet, not too bitter, and not too creamy despite the look.  The temperature of the drink isn't that hot either, unlike usual hot beverages. It was served in a right temperature for their customer to immediately enjoy the drink as soon as it arrived on the customer's table. The drink was also served in a unique mug called 'Hugmug', in which customers can place both palms of their hands on both sides of the mug in order for them to feel the warmth of the drink while sipping it slowly down their throats. Considering how windy and chilly the night time could be, I find the Hugmug is one of the greatest inventions for any beverage shop!

I would love to try other menus as well, but since we were a bit in a hurry, I was only able to taste the deliciousness of the Dark Chocolate drink. I would definitely come back to Max Brenner for more though!

Originally from Korea, Tom n Toms coffee shop has become one of Sydney's popular hangout spots for everyone to just sit and enjoy their evenings while being accompanied by a cup of relaxing hot or cold beverage.

It was around 9 to 10pm when I and my companies suddenly decided to spend our night drinking some hot cups of beverages as we sheltered ourselves from the chilly wind. We chose to visit Tom n Toms coffee shop as our destination as it was the closest coffee shop that was still open. I was quite surprised to find the shop was still packed with numerous youngsters despite the fact that it was weekday. Nevertheless, we immediately waltzed into the shop because we couldn't stand the freezing weather any longer.

The moment I stepped into the coffee shop, I fell in love with Tom n Toms ambiance immediately. Tom n Toms lighting makes the whole shop seems very warm and cozy; a very comfortable place to just slouch around and relax with a hot cup of tea in hands. I would personally love to stay inside the shop just relaxing as long as I could! No wonder there were still a lot of youths idling around inside the shop even though it was already very late at night!

Cozy lighting!

Tom n Toms drink.

As soon as we got to our seats, I went to order a hot cup of tea, simply because I'm not much of a coffee drinker. I chose to drink rose tea which I find to be a unique tea flavor that you won't be able to find just anywhere!

Rose tea.

The rose tea didn't look any special at first. It looked like a green tea with some rose petals dipped in it. However, I was quick to change my opinion. It amazed me how the tea - even though I left the lid open for more than 20 minutes - remained very hot. I was pleased to still be able to enjoy the hotness of the tea for a long period of time. I was even more pleased by the sweet floral rose scent emitted from the tea every time I sipped the drink. The scent gave off a calming effect which boosts one's tea drinking enjoyment even further! Moreover, the tea cost me only for a mere 3.50AUD! What more can you ask??

In my own preference, I would definitely come back to enjoy more beverages from Tom n Toms the next time I visit the city!

You can find Tom n Toms coffee shop in 97 Bathurst Street  Sydney NSW 2000.

So what's your favorite Tom n Toms beverage?

There are many kinds of fast food in the world, today we are going to talk about Doner Kebab which, in my opinion, is one of the most healthy fast food in the world.

Doner Kebab is served wrapped in a flat bread such as a pita. It is a common fast food item in the Middle East, Europe, North America and Australia.

If we open the original kebab and look it inside, we can see many kind of relishes inside. For example, caraway,onion, tomato, cabbage and lamb.

If you want to know how is it feel, I could only say its taste is really like what you are seeing on the package, "tasty", and awesome too. I would really recommend everyone to have a try if you want !!

By the way, although I think it seems like a quite healthy fast food, it should not replace your daily meal, it is only a bonus when you really want to have a try on that after all !!
