China Noodle King

Well, I'm on the road again. We're on spring break this week, and right now I'm typing this from a hotel in Prague. We got here on Saturday and are actually getting ready to board a train to Budapest for... [read more about China Noodle King]

Cafe Mint

One of the lowest-priced places to receive relatively high marks from the Good Food Guide this year is Cafe Mint. The place is a pretty tiny restaurant on Crown Street in Surry Hills, a bustling area with numerous restaurants... [read more about Cafe Mint]

Heritage Belgian Beer Cafe

I mentioned when I was talking about Una's that there are a ton of European-style beer/food places that focus on a large variety of beers paired with no-nonsense meat and potatoes. One variation of these restaurants is the Heritage... [read more about Heritage Belgian Beer Cafe]

Cafe Otto

Back when I talked about Mores Cafe, I noted the ubiquity of the Australian jack-of-all-trades cafe restaurant. And a few people have told me I sounded kinda bitter by the end of the review because of the phenomenon. Well,... [read more about Cafe Otto]

Tsukasa

Japanese food in Sydney is pretty interesting. An odd, takeout-style sushi has developed that I've never really seen before. Basically, there are a bunch of mall-style stalls (in malls and also on the streets) that mass produce sushi rolls. They're... [read more about Tsukasa]

Almustafa

You don't find Lebanese food much here at home. Of course, there's Reef, but Reef is one of a kind. Not so in Sydney, where there is apparently a pretty big Lebanese immigrant population. The result is that Lebanese restaurants... [read more about Almustafa]

Saigon Saigon

Often in Sydney we'd just walk down nearby Glebe Point Road in search of something to eat. This tactic succeeded with varying consistency, but one of the good spots we found was Saigon Saigon. Cheesy name notwithstanding, the place... [read more about Saigon Saigon]

BCB Bakery

Don't have time for a long post, but here's a quick tidbit. I thought I'd mention a small place near our accomodations called BCB Bakery. Somehow I thought I had a ton of pictures from this place, so I never... [read more about BCB Bakery]

Kopitiam

So my first couple of weeks at school have been busier than expected. The weather is getting seriously cold here, but I'm still glad to be back. It'd been a solid 8 months since I'd seen my Boston friends, so... [read more about Kopitiam]

Paul's Famous Hamburgers

Well, I've started my last semester of school at BU. I just got back to Boston, and after being away from my apartment for 7 or so months, I'm finally starting to get settled back in. One of my first... [read more about Paul's Famous Hamburgers]

Una's

One interesting food standard in Australia is the schnitzel. My fellow Australian study abroad alums will all know what I'm talking about. Schnitzel, essentially, is a German/Austrian breaded cutlet (in Australia, they say 'crumbed' rather than 'breaded'). Most traditional is... [read more about Una's]

Ploy Thai

It didn't take me long to buy a copy of the SBS Eating Guide to Sydney. SBS stands for Special Broadcasting Service, which is a major network in Australia. Each year they publish an Eating Guide that contains a wealth... [read more about Ploy Thai]

Mores Cafe

Okay, so it's been a while. I've fallen into all-out lazy vacation mode since my trip to Vancouver, and it's been tough to get off my ass and start the task of recapping Australia. I'm finally doing it though. It's... [read more about Mores Cafe]
