Buon Ricordo, Paddington

November 1, 2009

Besides Rockpool, this is probably the most highly rated restaurant we are heading to thus far in Sydney. Awarded Two Chef’s Hat in the latest Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide, we were having some great expectations for the restaurant.

After spending the day walking around Paddington, we headed to Buon Ricordo where Thad had made a reservation the night before. I was really looking forward to it!

Wagaya Japanese Restaurant

October 15, 2009

I have so many incomplete posts in my account!! Absolutely backlogged with a bunch of food posts!

Amongst my backlog was this entry on one of the most popular casual Japanese eatery in Sydney – Wagaya Japanese Restaurant. With it’s reasonable prices, chic interior and funky technology, it’s proving to be a very popular destination for group gatherings!

As a result, it’s REALLY tough to get seats for dinner. Reservations definitely recommended. The place is closed for lunch, which only serves to make the line for dinner even longer. Walk in on an average night and the wait is at least 30-35minutes. Once again, the trick is to show up early for dinner.

Itatakimasu!

I sign up for free stuff on a regular basis but a lot of times they are pretty sad samples. But check out what came in the mail today!

Starting a roaring fire!

After having a good night’s rest at our cottage, we awoke to a blanket of grey skies and continuous drizzle. But we weren’t going to let a bit of rain (ok, it was quite the thunderstorm) stop us from enjoying our long weekend at Hunter Valley!

What better way to cheer up the day but a trip to the Hunter Valley Chocolate Company!
