Ho Jiak Sydney – Penang Street Food in Sydney
I was told many a story about Ho Jiak even before I arrived back in Sydney. The customer reviews of the cuisine sound like they have just been to Malaysia for a food trip, except they didn’t. Instead, they went to one of the three Ho Jiak Sydney establishments located in Haymarket, Town Hall, and […]
Cafe Rumah Surry Hills – A trip down memory lane
South East Asian Favorites Cafe Rumah Surry Hills serves up an array of Southeast Asian cuisine dishes. The term “Rumah” translates to home, so it’s no surprise that this slice of my hometown has a loyal following within the Malaysian community in Sydney.

It makes sense that Saint Peter, a small dining room located on Paddington’s Oxford Street, lets the food, or rather the fish, do the talking. You never quite know what you will get on the […]
The Dragon Egg Dessert at Saké Restaurant and Bar
The Dragon Egg Dessert served at the award-winning Saké Restaurant and Bar looks like something straight out of the magical world of Harry Potter. The waiter served the egg centerpiece on a biscuit base, flowers, and seasonal berries. For the added magic touch, a liquid nitrogen mist surrounded the dish. The restaurant doesn’t skimp on […]
