Cuckoo Callay, Newtown

My second visit to Cuckoo Callay to try out their new menu ! :)
I loveeee Croissant and looking at my Instagram feed with this amazing Croissant filled with all the goodness lure me directly back to Newtown.

Went with a couple of foodies and here are what we chow down ^^
First is definitely the Bacon MacDaddy - I was expecting the croissant to be flaky and crisp but apparently probably because of the filling it wasn't as i expected. But the combination of elements work perfectly well. Bacon Mac n cheese, Bacon Jam, Double smoked bacon, and poached egg, whats not to like!!

$16
The Sideways shuffle - Its either you like it or not. It's a Blue Swimmer Crab cakes with corn and avocado salsa, watermelon, Poached egg, The other foodies loved it except me ;P

$24
We also got the RESPECT Burger. Unfortunately my photo doesn't do this delish burger any justice haha! Popcorn Chicken burger with Double smoked Bacon, Gruyere cheese and sauerkraut on Brioche ~~

$19
My fave dish of the day! Even though it didn't look as pretty as the other dishes and even though im not a fan of truffle. but this dish caught my hearttttt :)
No wonder it is called 'Magic Mushroom', its instantaneously made me happyy hihihi..
Wild mushrooms on Sourdough, truffled goat cream, spinach, roasted russ tomatoes, smoked almonds and a crumbed egg. Noms!

$23
A very simple yet scrumptious dessert to end the meal. Nothing can go wrong with Triple Chocolate gooey brownies with A dollop of cream and Vanilla ice cream with crumbed nuts and biscuit. I'd give this dish 11/10!! lovee love love.

$11
One of the picture-worthy dish Cuckoo is their Lost Cookie of Pompeii - Chocolate lava cookie, peanut butter mascarpone, banana, chocolate covered popping candy and creme anglaise. I was expecting alot from the dessert, but the lava cookie was quite a hassle to eat and i think the peanut butter mascarpone is too sweet to my liking ~~

$17
Overall I am impressed yet again by the foods here, no wonder the queue are out of this worldddd ;P As long as it worth it rightt tee hee.

Thirsty Bird, Potts Point

On my visit to Harajuku Gyoza, I came by to see this place called Thirsty Bird, was so curious as to why the queue was that long even though they are just open. So I went with my usual Foodie troops after a meal at Indigo (post coming up soon ;P )

Got their Totter Tots with Gravy and Bacon bits. It was dayummm delisshhh! Not oily, crisp bacon and umami gravy ~~ Couldn't ask for a better tots ..


Got the Spicy Wings too, but for me honestly is not my favourite :) I like it to be crispier and more flavour in it...


But this.... For me is the all time winner for Southern Fried Chicken Burger! Perfectly crumbed and seasoned Southern Chicken, the slaw are fresh plus the Bun are oh-my-goodness fluffy and softtttt ~~ I'm drooling while writing this post, literallyy!!


We also got the 4pcs Chicken with the Aioli and pickles. Chicken was tender and the sauce is a perfect match for the chicken ... It's probably one of my fave Southern Fried Chicken in Sydney :)


Highly Recommend the Chicken Burger. Would lovee to come back for more chicken and to try outt other Burger! Nomzzzz

Harajuku Gyoza, Potts Point


I got invited by Mr.R to Harajuku Gyoza and tasted some of their delectable Dumplings and the Instafamous Raindrop cake!

We were greeted once we enter the premises and we were almost immediately since we came just after they are open on a Saturday. My foodie troops & I were starving and so without any further ado we ordered their recommended Pork Kimchi Gyoza! It was spicy but super tasty!




We also tried the Chicken Katsu Curry where the curry is pretty mild, not too strong and the Katsu still has that crispness on top of the rice. Very well portioned for the price :)


Chicken Karage is the one thing not to be missed every time I visited a new Japanese eateries :) The chicken is coated with umami flavour that wanting you to eat them more and moreee!


We also got the Pork Belly Kakuni.. I was expecting a crispy pork belly, but the pork has been braised and simmered in a soy based sauce. I don't mind it though since the meat are so tender and juicy!


One thing that you should try here ~! Frozen beer Slushie Top and Frozen Cider Slushie Top... Aren't they cuttteee! If you like a more sweeter one, get the Cider :)


For Dessert, we got Nutella banana Gyoza with Ice Cream


It may not look pretty or classy but the taste isss Oh My Goodness so goooodd~~~ Especially when it's still warm, complemented by the sweet Vanilla ice cream. Just perfect :)


And Last but Not least the RainDrop Cake! It may look simple like Agar, but it actually pretty tricky to make... Once you put it in your mouth, it vanishes just like water. Interesting dessert :) They alos have the Green tea one but I don't really bother to take a photo of it cause this is the original one tee hee ^^


They legit-ly serves delicious gyoza!! Come and try em yourself :)

Kafeine, Balmain


My third visit to Kafeine in Balmain :) This time is for my Birthday Brunch. Mr.P wanted to treat me for lunch here :) Arrived on a Sunday ard 11am and the place was already packed with people. Thankfully the last table at the edge is empty ;P It's like meant to be since Mr.P and I will be taking pictures of the foods for quite a bit of time and we don't like many eyes starring at us hihi..

We were greeted nicely as usual and the Owner was there too.. Apparently we are from the same country and we kinda follow each other on Insta .. He came by to the table to say Hi and also offer the Salmon salad for breakfast (even though its only avail for lunch), how nice :)

So the must always order is their Salmon bene with homemade hollandaise sauce and potato rosti at the bottom! Always love that combo instead of muffins or sourdough ~~

$17.90
The Crispy Tasmanian Salmon Paradiso comprise of brown rice salad, currants, pickled ginger, cherry tomatoes and asparagus. Not to mention the 65 Degree Z'atar egg. Its just pure healthiness and deliciousness in a plate!

$19.90
We were torn between choosing the french toast or the pancake. But once we read 'Coconut Pancake', we made our decision then! The pancake was so fluffyyyy and soft , the fresh berries and the vanilla ice cream complemented the pancakes really well. Mr.P loveees this dishhh!

$15.90
We also ordered the Acai Bowl since we also were on an proactive mission to find the best Acai Bowl around Sydney. Even though the winner is still Culture Bean, but we will still be on the lookout :)
$17.90

Overall foods as always never disappoints, service is tentative, I'm saying this not because I know the owner but that's my honest experience and opinion :) I will definitely be back for their pulled pork hash!^^

When we walked out to the counter to pay, the owner said that it's been fixed :) The meal was on the house since it was my Birthday. I couldn't be thankful enough and It literally made my day .^^. Such a kind and generous person.

Chicky Char Char, Alexandria

Chicky char char newly open in Alexandria.. Maybe not that new but it got my attention since I passed by McEvoy st that often.. Apparently the Hubby knows the Owner's Son ;P

Went for a quick lunch with the Hubby on a Sunday, the place was pretty quiet, there were alot of people having takeaways.

I got their quarter Grilled chicken with a side of salad and chips. They offer varieties of salad that you can choose from the display.



I also ordered the Spicy Wings which I thought wasn't that good.
They got a special burger for the time being called Zomato Mega Burger. Its so huge and very delish at the same time! Inside are Beef patty, Fried Chicken, Fried egg, Pickles, bacon, relish and Mustard :)


I would recommend their Burgers and Grilled Chicken but not the wings ;P

MiNi Post of this and that :)


John Montagu, Wolloomooloo

Yay... Finally get to try the 12 hours beef cheek Sandwich with cheddar, horseradish, onions and rocket.
The sandwich to me is good but not that great and it's pretty costly for a sandwich hihi ~~
$17

Good Time Ice Cream

A stroll to Good time Ice Cream right after the sandwich ^^ Got the 'Grown Man Crying' on the right which is more on the creamy note and also the 'Ziggy Stardust' for those who like a tangy berry flavs :)



Hot Belle Chicken, Barangaroo

Heard mix reviews from friends about this chicken spot, but I think they serve a pretty good wings! Their spiciness level is a no joke! the Really F*ckin Hot wings can definitely sweat you out -- Been there twice and would love to go for moree my Spicy Chicken Cravings :)

BL burger, darlinghurst


Skip the queue from the one in Cquay for this amazeballs burger! Now Bar Luca has opened up a small Burger Bar in Darlinghurst, just next to Mr.Crackles for any Late night burger cravings!!

The place wasn't that big but decent enough for a quick bite :)

Apart from the burgers, I also ordered the Chips and a side of their scrumptious Fried Chicken! Very well portioned for the price of a sides.
Can't wait to be back again! so far, for me the best burger in Sydney is Blame Canada at BL Burgers ^^
