Sushi Tengoku


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!

Lindt



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!

Kuaizi Modern Fusion Cuisine

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 main dish, fish)


                                                         (This is the dessert)
(This is steak)
    (Good Prawn~)

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-Korean Restaurant in MQ Shopping Center

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.

  (It's really busy during lunch time, you may not able to find a place to seat, so I suggest you guys come a bit later if you wanna try it )
I ordered number 42 and my friend got number 35, mine was kind of like spicy seafood noodle(with soup), my friend's order was also seafood noodle, but with BBQ sauce. Seafood included prown, squid, octopus and crab stick. Besides seafood, there were also some kinds of vegetables-broccoli, cabbage and some other veges.
(This is the BBQ seafood noodle~)

 (This is number 42, spicy seafood noodle)



 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!!!

Food in Night Market- Chinatown

Do you guys know that there is a night market in Chinatown every Friday? Basically, it's a multi-cultural community market that has been very popular with the City locals and is now rapidly becoming a point of attraction in Sydney.  



What I'm gonna talk about today is the food in night market. There are many types of food including Chinese, Japanese, and other countries' food.

The First store I want to talk about is the Chinese dumpling sotre- it got many kinds of steamed dumplings and sumai, different colors and smell. My favourite snacks are Shrimp Dumplings and Steamed Crab Dumplings. Dumplings are originated from China, made with plain flour and sometimes with the addition of prown or crab or other flavors. Dumplings is cooked by steaming or deep-frying instead of boiling. It's a way to keep the original taste.   




Another store that I took into consideration is a Japanese Teriyaki  meatballs store. It's different from other sotres because you can see the whole process of making the meatballs. It's really funny to see what they were doing, the tool they use is like a screw driver,  kept rolling the meatballs up and down. There are four kinds of meatballs- prown, crab, squid and vege. Personally, I recommend prown and squid, taste really good. 


If you want to eat snacks and experience different food style, Night Market is really a good choice!!!

360 Bar and Dinning

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.
