A Weekend away to Sydney

This year I was so blessed to have two lovely & amazing friends to spend a weekend away in Sydney for my birthday.  This weekend would mainly be focus on yummy food.

Our first stop Chinatown for some afternoon tea. 

Grass Jelly with Taro balls topped with evaporated milk @ Meetfresh Chinatown Haymarket

On a Friday night, you can tried the food in the night market stalls along the Main Street (Dixon Street) in China town.  We tried different foods such as BBQ lamb on stick, grilled squid, pork jerky and Takoyaki. I will give it 3 out of 5 stars.

You can stroll to Darling Harbour from Chinatown after dinner.  As Valentine was just a week before we were there, the decorations around the Darling Harbour were so romantic.  =^^=

My first time at a dessert train: Adriano Zumbo @ The Star

Luckily for us, we managed to try the desert train before its service been discontinued.

Us enjoying the Famous Macarons and beautiful desserts.

4 stars out of 5

If you are still hungry after the desserts like me, there is a food court inside The Star.

Din Tai Fung serves yummy dumplings.  You can other branches around Sydney.

One of the must visit place: Sydney Fish Market

Especially if you love Sashimi.

It is a walkable distance from city centre.

After lunch, you can stroll towards Darling Harbour and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate @ Lindt Cafe

Another great place to stop for a bite is Laduree @ Westfield Sydney

You can try their famous macarons. or if you are in for High Tea, they do great high tea from $38.

41/2 stars out of 5

Our final food stop is Jamie's Italian

I love watching Jamie Oliver cooks.  He cooks with such excitement and just make it looks so fun.

So this meal was the most anticipated meal for our 3 days trip.

We arrived around 5pm and were still waiting for our table.  Luckily you can get a seat at the bar for drinks and antipasti.  I think we waited for an hour or so for our lovely table.

As it is Jamie's Italian, we decided we will settle on pasta & risotto.  We were quite hungry and ate 5 small serves of pasta & risotto among the 3 of us.

Now of course we couldn't finish the night without desserts.

Overall, I give Jamie's Italian 4 Stars out of 5 Stars.  

Good restaurant to try but do expect to book either Online or over the phone 2 weeks in advance for Fri and Sat dinner.
